Mythology Monday: Zulus and the Bible

Published: July 12, 2022, 1:52 a.m.

Reading from Credo Mutwa\u2019s book, Zulu Shaman, I review the origins of evil according to Zulu history. The Tokoloshe, made of iron, subjugate mankind through sloth, gluttony, and sterility. The Tokoloshe also bear a striking resemblance to what\u2019s found in Revelation 9, when the fifth angel sounded his trumpet. In other words, the warnings are timeless and mankind must look backwards to move forward.
