My reason for putting this website together is to consolidate and compile all the information about Credo Mutwa I find from across the Internet into one place. I met baba Mutwa in April 2008 and have spoken to him every few months since 2003 on the telephone. After meeting him, his wife and fellow Sangoma, Sanusi Virginia Mutwa, gave me an autographed copy of their new book, Woman of Four Paths: The Strange Story of a Black Woman in South Africa.
Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa, born on 21 July 1921 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa is a Zulu Sangoma (traditional healer) and High Sanusi. He is well known and respected for his work in nature conservation, and as an author of ground breaking books on African mythology and spiritual beliefs. Some of his work has led to him being seen as an outcast by fellow Sangoma’s or traditional healers, and even the larger African community in South Africa.
Early life
His father was a widower with three surviving children when he met his mother. His father was a builder and a Christian and his mother was a young Zulu girl. Caught between Catholic missionaries on one hand, and a stubborn old Zulu warrior, Credo’s maternal grandfather, his parents had no choice but to separate. Credo Mutwa was born out of wedlock which caused a great scandal in the village and his mother was thrown out by her father. Later she was taken in by one of her aunts.
He was subsequently raised by his father’s brother and was taken to the South Coast of Natal, near the northern bank of the Umkumazi River. He did not attend school until he was 14 years old. In 1935 his father found a building job in the old Transvaal province and the whole family relocated to where he was building. In 1937 he experienced a great shock and trauma when he was seized and sodomized by a gang of mineworkers outside a mine compound. After this he was ill for a long time.
Where Christian doctors had failed, his grandfather, a man whom his father despised as a heathen and demon worshipper, helped him back to health. At this point Credo began to question many of the things about his people the missionaries would have them believe. “Were we Africans really a race of primitives who possessed no knowledge at all before the white man came to Africa?” he asked himself. His grandfather instilled in him the belief that his illness was a sacred sign that he was to become a shaman, a healer. He underwent initiation from one of his grandfather’s daughters, young sangoma named Myrna.
Quote: Credo Mutwa: “I wish to appeal to the world. First, I am not a quack or a charlatan or a sensationalist. I am an old man who has seen much. I wish the world to know that there is a faint ray of hope that emanates from South Africa.”
This section contains a short autobiography of Credo Mutwa. It was originally published on a website which does not exist any more. As far as I can tell this is true in the sense of his philosophy and his vision.

I would like to know what the titles of the other books are(aside from those listed on this website as I already own them)?

Hi all! Im a 22 year old Motswana from Libanon, Westonaria in the far west of Gauteng, South Africa, a engineering and related designs student at Vuselele FET College, Carletonville Campus and a researcher for Pioneer Productions, and slam poet from Afrikan Filosophaz.Im on a quest and i need answers to what is the purpose of existance.
Can Ubaba Mutwa or anyone who has insight on such help me through my quest.
I’d deeply appreciate it…(open for opinions)
Thank you Credo Mutwa for your important insights and experience. I am fascinated with your work. I am excited and angered about the terrible state of the world right now. These are some exciting times we live in. We must avoid tv and much of the media because it is a lie. Truth is stranger than fiction indeed. Thanks you Mr. Mutwa and continue to send out as much energy as you can to aid in our transformation. I hope you are living peacefully somewhere and enjoying your years.
we need to help the earth, the great mother to raise her vibration, thats the only way out. if all the electromagnetic forces of the earth is raised then those low-leveled backwards un-evolved beings will be smoked instantly. they won’t be able to survive it because they can’t ascend.

I and my friend have just learned of credo from David ickes documentary. We were astounded by Credo and his intelligence. I could feel his enlightenment through the computer. I am completely thankful for credo and how he opened my eyes and answered so many riddles of history. We have so many questions for him and wish to email him. Can you tell me how to get in contact with him?

i am truely touched by his work it is amazingly incredible.
We can & will help
I was fortunate to spend an afternoon with Ntate Mutwa and Virginia in 2005. He was at the time recycling and melting aluminium cans and creating wonderous alien statues and other works of art out of them. Being in the couples' presence was enlivening, enlightening and invigorating. So glad to have found this site.
hi, i am very interested in credo's history and the farm Vulindaba of which he speaks. Who is staying there and is it possible to lvisit the farm?
Everytime there is a situation in SA ,I refer back to his word.eg The murder of ET , The respond by our politician in SA
Credo, I pray you read this humble plea.
You need to gather some young ones and teach them immediately the truths you carry within your heart. Not one, or two or three but at least a couple dozen.
You are an old man and once you pass, much of your knowledge will be lost to all of us.
Also, write, write, write, every day in every way write, write write, write write write down your knowledge. Please write all your thoughts, everything you were taught.
Mother Earth needs you to leave us your wisdom.
Humbly submitted.
we are awakening, we are evolving, even with all the difficulties and obstacles prevail. Do not give up, please. Frenquentar have dreams about love, peace and spiritually advanced people I see in these dreams, I wake up the dream and this time I can feel free, I can feel the universe and can feel fear, love, pain that exists in this world. My perception and sensitivity is increasing daily. We are evolving!
Like me, many are wasted.
you've done good for someone today?

It is more than the histoty it is more than readings but it is true african spirit, indaba gives the gist of african true meaning. I read the first book that called SONGS OF THE STARS written by ubaba Vusamazulu was inspired me and change my perception about Africa and the Bantu history, it encourages me to participate more in the community social services. I believe that if African child are fed by this kind of history its can be more different than what is happewning today. one day I believe that I myself push the words of baba and acts on it, I wish baba can still live more.
Thank you tata Mutwa, I pray that God keeps you for a very very long time.
This is a poem from our upcoming publication titled Ankh Chi Tao, which is a collection of 156 poems and 156 author's comments, we seek to share some insights on the word "spirit", do enjoy the read and watch out for the book when it's finish.
Unholy Breath
Spiritus… Spirit… Spirituality
In the dishonors of She hear the sad story brought to you by his patriotic glories Living the imposed lies from the stories of wars the egos of men brilliantly shines Sybils-Sybils, Sybil not many remember thee the Black Doves who lead the blinds They were the ones who read the stars & the dimensional walls their truths is for all Now she fall before the indo-europeans stood tall they eradicated thy mothers of us all To escape her sights in the chambers of delights they changed their breath to anti-life Insight, for them to reach great heights no longer do they appease the natural appetite
As the fraternities grew evilly strong the de rigueur of men’s religion sweep the lands Abstaining from her lace the priestly order tighten the social brace and extol the fakes The leaders of men the modern Romans gain popularity by ways of the evil germ-men Forgetting divine proportion again the neo europeans explored the hole of no solution Now the global mental thoughts of humans are polluted because the Divine gates of enlightenment is muted, after lootings & shootings the black doves learn three things Her womb no longer belong to she, she is not equal to he & god took the place of We
Divine Mothers of might the Deities of light & the nights held her as Majestic rights In rites of the land a woman & woman is super-natural while men & men r unnatural Under misdirection’s it’s easy for continual living in errors than changing corrections The straw-man power the society of heavenly fathers contracts of delusional cowards Amengansie on U its intended social genocide as humanity progress in degeneration His objections unlawful defense discharging her wills with predatorial due diligence Adjusting the orifice with mistranslations, notice of understanding and evil intentions
Dubious papal illegal fiduciary feigned claims to life & bills of exchange demonstrate Tis broken trust of controlling the equities of the plantations & carols of prostitutions Watching the evil eye a magic of the blinds using twisted sigils of the masterminds
In the beginning there was no god, in the beginning there was only she the supreme Beings of wisdom & hyper-sensitivitie now living the dreams within dreams a scheme Whose reality are we the pleasure of men are dictated by greed so they circumcise she
Spirituality is dishonor on she the sad stories brought to you by his patriarchal glories
Spiritus coined for elite social status by ancient criminals living homosexual religious
Lacking her morals brilliantly he shines living imposed lies with war he kills the mind

When I first met Baba Credo Mutwa, we spoke, but on a very superficial level, and I became aware that he was doing what the people of South Africa so often do, which is to size up who they are talking to before anything really meaningful is said. When we were alone, and walking outside in the bush, he suddenly stopped, looked at me, and said 'Tell me doctor, why did you come to see me?' After a moment during which I groped for words, I simply said 'I came to learn'. 'Ah', he said, and suddenly the conversation changed and became very meaningful. Credo is one of those who has bridged the gap between the oral and written cultures by expressing African spiritual truths in the written idiom – an act that put his life in great danger from the traditionalists. All I know is that in spite of his humble surroundings, and the fact that he is greatly misunderstood by many people, I believe that he is one of the greatest spiritual leaders in the world today. Listen carefully to what he has to say, because it is the truth.

wish i would have listen and researched your jan 7th thing… i did listen didnt research.
His Holiness Credo Mutwa, and whatever Shaman-Animist-wisemen of repute, should get together to create Africa’s OWN Holy Book so that African spirituality and spiritual practices will not be subsumed by Aramaic Christianity or Islam.
Before he or any such people pass on , this could be the one great gift to humanity’s body of spiritual works.
He and the other great religious men of African spiritual traditions could be the Prophets and Apostles of the African people for a true African religion and African faith and belief system.

TO DEAR CREDO MUTWA, I hope you read this message…Thankyou for being brave. Thankyou for being a humanitarian.Thankyou for seeing from your heart.Thankyou for your virtuous morality. Thankyou for your healing, Thankyou for sharing your wisdom.Thankyou for your vision.Thankyou for being a proud African.Thankyou for your suffering.Thankyou for being a guardian keeper.Thankyou for lighting the way through the darkest realms, others would not dare to tread- a brave soul you are! I have never met you, but I will never forget your great words of wisdom and teaching. I feel very sad to hear about your recent experiences, the shamanic path can never be easy. When you lose everything you hold as dear, it becomes even clearer to those around you the greatness you embody. You are truly special.
You are in my thoughts. Lydia
Yes, there is a faint ray of hope that emanates from South Africa still, but the way is getting lost unless there is more truth and honesty. Only the African people have enough love to make it, and they have a great responsibility to the world – greater than they know. It needs deep consciouness, deep truth and deep awareness. Don’t get lost on the way. The price has already been high enough.

Ase! Siyathokoza kubendlu yomz’onsundu. I also spoke with uBaba uCredo Vusamazulu Credo kaMutwa over the phone some two months ago. I even cried when He told me how much He was suffering. I agree that we should help our universal Master Teacher but let’s do it ourselves as South Africans, Africans and not wait for the west to do it through the likes of David Ickeses. This is my plea to the Black Nation. Namaste! Thokoza!
he came to this earth not to prove himself, not for fame or fortune but to carry on a legacy. A typical saint that is regarded with scepticism, and crucified for his intentions to do good. why is it that we turn deaf ears to the fables of africa – the cradle of mankind. his stories carry the wisdom of the ages that need to be documented and need ever so urgently, to be carried forward. if we cannot listen now, perhaps we can open our ears and eyes in the future? Yet we act so ignorantly until it is too late. I feel a depserate sense of the coming of the end for Natate Credo Mutwa and along with him all the treasures of the guardian of Africa. what are we to do?
It's very strange, but over the past few days I have been having thoughts about Credo Mutwa, his name kept poppin up in my mind.
Anyway, I do hope he is alright.
hullo,ive read so much about credo mutwa and his work with David icke.i salute you people for the bravery to expose and giving the world what it has been denied of.keep up.
Dumelang ma-Afrika.
Ntate Credo I’m hournered to know the truth most especcially from a black African. We deserve to know the truth. I’m from a christian family and always been inquisitve since from childhood, we’ve been fooled by the system.people think i’m crazy when i tell them about the so called system but i know that one day they’ll get the message through their thick skulls. I may be not strong and powerful like Ntate Credo but I will fight with him to the end.
ntate i really apreciate the khowledge that you share with the people,i also wish you long life
my comment is that l need details contact of baba credit mutwa
To Credo
I would appreciate an audience with you at a time that is good for you?
When we meet I am sure you would know my soul!
I am Jonathan Charles Smith son of Edward Charles Smith and Patricia Helen Stannard is my mother!
In the concern for all life I thought you would be able to impart with myself and my father that which we are !
With the blessings of the Most High we trust this to be acomplished!
Yours sincerely

Our life is our work.
We await your call to meet.
Love peace and happiness for all life!
Greetings,
It has been very enlightening to hear the words of the Great Elder. There are questions that I would very much like to ask of him, any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Peace
all i want to know is, are we ruled by the Americans, and their power of techno? is our president taking orders from the kings and queens of the state of America? is South Africa been taken by rich and evil people, is SA GOING DOWN THE ROUTE OF EVIL MONEY, SOLD TO REPTILES
Does anybody know what Credo Mutwa’s spiritual path is?
Please explain your question better and I will try my best to answer. What I know is that he was raised Christian. And at some point embraced African traditional beliefs and practises as a sangoma. It does not seem compatible to be both Christian and Sangoma as the belief in Ancestors and their influence in our lives conflicts with a fanatical belief in Jesus Christ.
Is there a point in fighting The Superpower? Todays humanity makes me ashamed to be Human! Even the animals have a look of pity towards us.
I am working on a township lifestyle community magazine and would like to reflect a lot on the issues on religion and spirituality in particular from the African persepective. Recent studies show that 70% of South Africans consult traditional healers or witch doctors.I would like to interview the Zulu Shaman, where do I find him?
