My first time on the fascinating African continent proved to be a profoundly transformative experience. During my visit, I attended a Zulu Shembe Church service in the small town of Ozwathini, South Africa. The dedicated members of this community adhere to a lifestyle that avoids pork, smoking, and premarital sex, reflecting their deep-rooted beliefs and customs. As part of the service, all attendees respectfully removed their shoes, and the women adorned themselves with head coverings, signifying their reverence. Gathered in the outdoor sanctuary, amidst the embrace of Mother Earth, the participants were thoughtfully organized into distinct groups of males, females, and female virgins. It was notable that only men were permitted to speak during the service, emphasizing the structured hierarchy within the community. The expression on the revered church mother's face encapsulated the richness and depth of African history—a living testament to the enduring spirit of Mother Africa.
