Asimuve lapha nakayiteka lendzaba ngebugabazi lobokhulu kanjena:
African heritage is historical, cultural and religious. Therefore
we can say that religion is part and parcel of the African
heritage which goes back many hundreds and thousands of
years. African Religion is the product of the thinking and
experiences of our forefathers. They formed religious ideas,
they formulated religious beliefs, they observed ceremonies and
rituals, they told proverbs and myth which carried religious
meanings, and they developed laws and customs which
safeguarded the life of the individual and his community.
(Mbiti, 1982:12).
Loku kusho kona kutsi inkholo yesintfu bantfu bendzabuko bayishiyelwa
bokhokho babo, manje intfo lenjengalena akusiyo nani yekumane i1ahlwe nje
ngobe phela inkholo fana nelulwimi kuyintfo umuntfu langayifela. Umuntfu
unguloku languko ngenca yetintfo letinyenti letifaka ekhatsi emasiko
nemihambo yaleso sive laphila kuso. Kulukhuni salitje kutsi ungahlukanisa
inkholo nemasiko ngobe letintfo tihlangene nalokunye kuntjintja nalolokunye
kuyalandzela. Angeke nani wakwati kuvisisa inkholo yebantfu nawungawati
emasiko abo. Mbiti, (1982) uyayifakazela lendzaba nakabeka ngalendlela:
We cannot understand the African heritage without
understanding its religious part. Religion is found in all African
peoples. Their different cultures have been influenced very
strongly by religion as it is found in each people. The earliest
records of African history show that the African of ancient Egypt
were very religious people. Up to this day, Africans who live
according to their traditional ways also said to be very religious.
