Book Feature: Journey Kwantu By Vusumzi Ngxande

Is it possible to be both a Christian and honour your Ancestors? That’s just one of the burning questions Vusumzi Ngxande tackles in his thought-provoking new book Journey Kwantu: Exploring African Spirituality and Identity. Based on personal experiences and deep historical research, the book explores the often uneasy intersection between African traditional beliefs and Western religious systems. From the afterlife to ancestral rituals in modern cities, Ngxande offers a raw, reflective guide to reclaiming spiritual identity. Phemelo speaks to author Vusumzi about his own spiritual wrestles and the lessons uncovered along the way.
