Is Africa losing its soul to Western religion?
In this powerful lecture, Joshua Maponga Marara unpacks the deep clash between African spirituality and colonial religion, showing how faith has been used to control politics, money, and morality.
Highlights from this episode:
The Ambira instrument – science, spirituality & African sacredness in one.
Why African justice systems worked better than prisons – and how modern jails waste taxpayer money.
Colonial religion vs African spirituality – how Christianity & Zionism shifted African morality.
Religion, money & politics: from Israel-Palestine to African governments.
The destruction of African ethics & culture through missionary schools.
The family tree, rites of passage, morality & community preservation.
Why Africans must stop seeking a “middle ground” with Western culture and reclaim their own.
Maponga asks: Can Africa find balance, or must it return fully to its roots?

Epitome of African Wisdom
Mappnga has a lot wisdom and I agree many of his points,but lgbtq was not totally absent. Lgbtq was seen as not common but not absent. As children we used to make fun of a man who practiced bestiality. We never saw it ourselves but it was something that we heard without proof.The good thing was that no one tried to hurt him for being different in that way. We know homosexuality had always been present in human society as well as certain animal populations from the beginning of existence.So it's not a big deal.
The philosopher 🎉
It's very funny how Mr j marara chose and pic some bible verse without its context. Ironically he was talking about how religion has put one leader in front and other as an audience but I see the same structure he uses on YouTube.
Funny enough again talking about the center of the community while the same book he dislikes speaks of the same – when it says God Created male and female in the book of Genesis. However there are a lot of things that the Bible has been misrepresented by lazy people who they think serve God is only in the pulpit yet the Bible encourages productivity and Business more than anything.
Yea for sure. This Man is my Teacher. For sure. I'm listening. Good to hear you. Thank you
I found my identity just following the secred teaching of this man. I downloaded the video so I can refresh and reset my mind💜👌🙏
I would like to kindly request that you can consider creating a podcast version of our Alfa House sessions or if there is any you can recommend us.
This would allow us to listen while driving or during other activities when watching is not convenient.
A podcast version would make the content more accessible, increase engagement, and provide a comfortable way for everyone to stay connected and inspired.
I just found out that you are a satanist an illuminati, it makes sense with all the things you say, how you live your life and how you hate the LORD, Jesus Christ. All of you will burn in Hell, if you don't repent.
I could listen to people like Maponga all day without feeling bored. Thank you .👏
we need more people with such caliber, well done Mr Maponga, the problem is these relatives of ours are labelled witches……diffficult to accept them…..
US landed his man on the moon.. if africa not interrupted by colonialism they will landed his man on the sun
You are typical diviner.African mystic religion is a mere idolatry & demonic worship.Corruption isn't a colonial issue but corrupt morals & dead conscience.
I totally agree. Prison lets them off the hook. There should be a prison work program where they don’t pay slave wages so the families can be compensated weekly or by weekly
Maponga the man who discovered europe 👏👏👏👏👏
so so wise
Absolutely Awesome African presentation.
Genius. I told my dad about him and he went on to tell me how he was friends with Maponga. They went to church together at Newbold, England and shared how Mr. Maponga challenged the church such that he was expelled. I let my dad know, much to his dismay, that I am in agreement with the position of Mr. Maponga. I love his lectures.
I see Maponga or Lumumba , I watch
They started kissing the 2bag of cement and 1 bucket of paint they call it the image of Mary😂😂😂😂😂
I agree with you Maponga @3:25 , Another fact is that when playing the Mbira most musicians cried out to our father : Yohwe ,Yohwe! which is the same as Yahweh! and when one was crying out to a mother they would sing Maihwe!!! Bonus : Emmanuel in shona is Muneni and Towdah in shona is Totenda. Abba : Baba , Ima : Amai ,Kodesh : Akakosha…Coincidence?? I am not claiming that we are Jews but I know we are definitely one of the 12 tribes. @11:00 I agree we have sheep in wolves clothing but we shld not lose faith because some people are manipulating the gospel.
It's is time we fund a School by Marara time is now
Long live our brother. Does anyone know what was the name of the continent before colonization??
Was the name AFRICA given by the European?? What were we called? Why not go back to our original name.
😢 damn Mr maponga whenever I listen to him I feel like our way of thinking is installed on us our opinions and views are not really ours, you are in touch of your brain and soul ..😢
Talking about the elders of the community should come together determined what punishment should give out but what about when someone killed another person, do believe that they should give their lives when they taken ones live???? That's a discussion. The prison system doesn't not reabiltate anyone, I think one would think twice about killing your brothers. Their would be less murders. You are so right put the prisoners to work.
First someone has to start a new cultural movement for the native and ancient Africa faith , so that all African nation people could come into one umbrella, Christianity and Islam are the main bullies of the ancient civilizations of world
I love this man. I feel a connection like we both have the same DNA
Those who believe they are skin colours and religion and races are on a low level of consciousness
Salibonani, dumelang, u are right Mr Maponga bt u left out Mangwanani or makadini ,u always mention other languages bt never mention your mother language (Shona)
Maponga preaches an honest truth in a way that empowers Africans within the religious ranks….
Beautiful!!!!!
I nearly shed tears at the amazement of his teachings and wisdom. Until I meet you some day Sir🙏🏽Love you Baba Maponga
Thats the white people's system for you 😂
The way to deal with criminals it is call Sheriah or Islamic Law.
I love that thumb piano. We have them in Uganda too. Maponga's wisdom nuggets are invaluable.
Zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
I would rather die on a battlefield with an empty stomach towards African freedom than on my knees before the colonial master with my stomach full
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Love from Malaysia.
