Credo Mutwa
Credo.V.Mutwa was born in the Natal area of South Africa on July
22
1921.His very name is a composite of his cultures origin.
“Vusamazulu” is a Zulu honorific meaning,” awakener of the Zulus”,
given
to him during his initiation as a Sangoma.The name “Credo”
from the Latin,”
I believe” and Mutwa is Zulu for “little bushman”.
True to his middle name
Vusamazulu, he is a spiritual leader
dedicated to caring for his people and
[preserving their cultural
traditions.
As an authority on the history,
lore, legends and fables of tribes
throughout the sub-continent, Credo
excels in the medium of story
telling. He believes that the tales that he
learned from his elders gave
directions for his life and motivated him to
further his knowledge of
his people’s past, and share that learning. He
earned international
recognition with his first published work in the 1960’s
“Indaba My
Children”, re-printed internationally and translated into several
languages followed by “Africa Is My Witness” and “Let Not My
Children
Die”. The multi-talented man is also an artist, a sculpture
and healer.
1996 he published “Song of the Stars” and “Isilwane The Animal”
As a
true pioneer, Credo has travelled internationally and become an
acknowledged
cultural historian on traditional healing. He has
attended and spoken at
conferences and is a guest of philosophers,
therapists and creative artists
around the world.
There is a Zulu saying that travelling creates an Induna.
This means
that one who is to become a leader must first gain wide
experience
before assuming his duties.
Credo is a perfect example of a
wise global leader. His home is open
to those who come with respect and love
and he willingly shares his
amazing and wide-ranging knowledge.
