Inhlawulo

Ben Themba Silindza — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 10:27:56 +0000

Some call it damages, especially in the Townships. I want to take this opportunity to write about this topic as it has been greatly abused because of ignorance. I am not writing to please people but to document knowledge for the next generation. I have spent time with the elders, receiving knowledge, and most of [...]

Born Again(Africa A Land Of Children)

Ben Themba Silindza — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 09:20:02 +0000

“Born Again” one of the words that have destroyed Africa because being born again is where one has been fully brainwashed by the system. I know that Africans all over Africa are the most religious people in the world. Writing about such will offend more people and some might even unfriend me, but I’m not [...]

Ligedla

Ligedla is one of the forgotten callings for healers, I don’t know what other nations call these professional people. We do not have an equivalent word to call them in English. Some people say they are herbalists but herbalists use only plants to heal and they heal only the body, but Emagedla heal the body, [...]

Lidvumane

Ben Themba Silindza — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 13:02:48 +0000

Lidvumane is one of the most important rocks for Emadloti, which has been replaced by Libovu most of the time. In the coming generations when we talk of Lidvumane they will think we are referring to Libovu as it seems Lidvumane is being used as another word for Libovu. The two are not the same, [...]

Sheep Mentality (Africans Have Become Sheep)

Ben Themba Silindza — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 15:38:07 +0000

‘Ziyamazi umelusi uzibiza ngemagama zisabele’ This song is sung in different places and churches by Africans when admitting that they are sheep. Just right after giving birth the African child will face different types of immunization which will subdue their thinking capacity to be like that of sheep. Just after birth the systems are already [...]

Likhaya

Ben Themba Silindza — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 11:58:15 +0000

According to my culture there is a big difference between a house and a home (Indlu noma likhaya). My grandfather used to say you cannot buy a home (likhaya) but you can buy a house. Unfortunately according to his explanation very few Africans have homes (emakhaya) these days. Our culture especially us Emalangeni (Those of [...]

Whites Are The Gods of Most Africans

Ben Themba Silindza — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 10:14:17 +0000

You will be very fortunate to be listened to by Africans without questioning everything you say. Anyway, questioning before you accept anything is the best thing to do because it shows that you have a brain. The painful thing is most Africans use their brain only when being taught by their fellow black brothers and [...]

Libito/Ligama (A Name)

Ben Themba Silindza — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 15:19:52 +0000

The first thing to be done when a child is born is to be given a name. Before colonization every clan used to have certain names that are given within that family because they knew reincarnation exists, the child will be named by the name of the person whom is thought to have reincarnated .Reincarnation [...]

Africa Land of The Disabled (Continued)

Ben Themba Silindza — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:34:13 +0000

AFRICA LAND OF THE DISABLE (CONTINUED) MARCUS GARVEY once said any leadership that teaches you to depend on another race is a leadership that will enslave you. Unfortunately all African leaders are just doing that, teaching their people to be dependents of other races, leading to disablement of Africans. Because Africans have become disabled they [...]

Indlu Ka-Gogo (Umsamo)

Ben Themba Silindza — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 16:19:43 +0000

INDLU KA-GOGO(UMSAMO) – One of the holiest places at home. I don’t know what other nations call it in their languages but there is no English word for umsamo and indlu kagogo because such does not exist among the whites, they have theirs different from ours. The unfortunate thing is that very few African homes [...]
