FAQ
Question 1
I’m contacting ‘re. how to respond to someone who believes in Majola (snake/ancestor)? They recently killed a puff adder near their house and are so worried. I don’t believe all this, but I wish to respond in a way that will show them truth.
Question 2
I would love to ask you a question. Do you have thoughts that you can share around the practice/tradition of Ulwaluko especially from a Christian perspective?
Are there any concerns or highlights of what one could read about or need to understand especially for discussion with friends/family/loved ones?
Any material you could refer me to in order to equip myself and improve my understanding of this subject.
I have negative assumptions, but these are based on the Tsonga (my “tribe”) equivalence of this practice.
