In this episode, I sit down with Stonard Mapfumo to explore a thought-provoking topic: the coexistence of indigenous African beliefs and Christianity. We delve into the history of both belief systems, how they influence daily life, and why many people continue to practice both. From ancestral rituals to Christian prayers, we unpack the blending of spiritual practices and the harmony (or tension) that arises in modern African societies. Tune in for an insightful conversation on the spiritual landscape of Africa, filled with unique perspectives and personal experiences.
