Sisi Ntsiki you are important for the revolution of African consciousness. I wanted to say you are important for the revolution of the black mind, but now I know that colorism was never an African construct. It was either one was African or non-African. Thank you. Khuphuka njalo👏🏿
I am so grateful for this podcast , I am learning more about African spirituality and my roots than I have ever learned in my entire life. I love you all and thank you , love from Trinidad
This has been sooo insightful, finally we have an African woman who teaches us about identity that's free from western agenda's. The most mind blowing part is that with African spirituality it all begins with us. we are our own alchemists "our alters are in our homes".
MaAfrika I am a conference in Lusaka. I missed the live release. I will watch tonight. Sithokoze emaDlozini akubo Ma, o-Nkosi-Dlamini (izi-Dlukula Dledle zakwa-Lobamba. Ama-Langeni langayidli imvu lemnyama esaba emafinyila). Nawakubo-Baba, o-Litchfield. I subscribe only to the pre-colonial and pre-European Litchfileds, those who were not in organised religion, but spirituality. Some of them died fighting forced conversion to Christinaity. And I am also acknowledging those with whom I am not related to by blood.
We appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge Mme Khanyisile. I have learned a lot in your 2 interviews with Ntsiki. The period of awakening has arrived for some of us. I cannot wait to get hold of your writings. ❤
I am labelled that derogatory term 'coloured'... but I AM AFRICAN. I am African in my heart and soul, I have a deep love for the continent of Africa.. I am a product of the colonial history of South Africa, therefore it's my only home, where I belong... I am getting in touch with my African family and I am connecting so much, deep within my soul... I am African and proud... I love this conversation ❤
Ausi Ntsiki, you need to interview Malaika Mahlatsi . You should also look in to giving space for other people from other backgrounds like Tsonga, Pedi , Tswana. I feel like we only get perspective on African History from Zulus and Xhosas . I don’t know if I am wrong !

This is one of the most powerful interviews I've ever seen. And I'm born and bred Christian. Please list the names of her books and/or website. Thank you so much for posting this!

We love you Ntsiki and I am a follower and an admirer of Dr Khanyisile Dlamini-Litchfield I want to work with her to develop our continent and educate our continent with correct education.
I'm christian , I watched this with an open mind, and I will still choose Christianity over and over again. It liberates me and that's where I find peace. I've tried African spirituality before by the way.
I get where you're coming from. The problem is that once one have had the European type of education then it's hard not to be a Christian. We are even given a book to read just like the books at school. African spirituality doesn't have a book or structure. Most educated people will not find meaning in African spirituality. It's something that you find from within yourself and by interacting with nature. An educated person is already used to being taught and Christianity is therefore easier as it offers a 'teacher' who is the pastor and a book which is the bible. African spirituality is largely based on self research and finding your ancestors from within your DNA since they have their imprints in our DNA. this is more difficult because of the education mindset, no wonder we tend to retreat back into Christianity.
Am so glad that am now awakened , all my life ive been a christian and now am a truly african , i now know myself ,it is true african spirituality is not taught by books or pastors , what was there before that christianity . if they were killers , rapist , stealers , heartless , then what makes their god they beleived in , aint that god the same as them.
I love this woman…tried searching for her page on YT after the first video you had with her, but couldn’t find her😢 she ignites me spiritually and makes me want to know more.
@@unpopularopinion_za AmaDlozi, the ancestors are doing their thing. I am just a willing vessel. People are hooked, not because of me, but because you are being spoken to by voices from thousands of years ago. We surely come from great ancestry maAfrika.
You have nourished the turmoil and filled the void in my soul Mama. I am greatly impressed by your passion. Your wisdom is out of this world. My sincere gratitude to the host too.
Thank you so much for bringing the most outstanding true female educator on african spirituality. We are all arising, waking up. I discovered your channel today.❤
I loved the part about Sangomas asking for payment for work because as an NLP Practitioner and Life Coach for some reason I just stopped asking for payment and just allowing spirit to lead the manner in which those I help choose to show their gratitude towards me. And yes, you do not need anyone to tell you about you. Get to know yourself. To believe in god is not to know god.
This is exactly what I wanted to caution as well because these days we find very dodgy characters wanting to train others into becoming healers even though the said prospect students do not necessarily possess the gift of healing. So, I am glad that you've chose to operate differently. It is refreshing to hear such.

Wow! What a candid and refreshing conversation and lesson on African history. I loved it! I will be looking for more from Dr Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala.
This interview has raised even more questions from my end. Ntsiki kindly explore opening up for people to come to the podcast where there can be some type of Q and A, i believe this will sell. Thank you for listening to us and bringing her back.
Hi Wandile! Every Sunday we have a Q and A session on Twitter Spaces with that week’s guest. Our handle on Twitter is @Unpopular_za. You are welcome to join and comment or ask questions 💛
I'm glad that I have watched episode 1&2 and I wish all black South Africans watch them because they are both the fountain of true knowledge, we are so obsessed with Christianity, Jesus, Mary, God, Allah, etc. We and all our leaders we are deeply lost!!!
Thank you Good Doctor....Your Lectures on Indeginous African knowledge opens up the mind...This is the education that should be compulsory in African schools.Not what we have been conditioned to recognise as important by the colonialists.We hope and pray our God and Ancestors continue to enlighten us,give us power to bring back THE AFRICA!
Y'all still call it "Africa" named by our colonizers so they say , so which Africa is coming back, y'all acting like you know, but truth is y'all still looking for answers, I really wanna know who we are as people, but black people always have ways to sabotage and fail themselves, for example how do you trust the only people who it is said they still practice our culture if they just want money, we can shout but the problem is within us as black people, for example if you and your siblings are tight no outsider can make you guys turn against each other , mxm in simple organizations and work places , black people still sell each other out , we shout spirituality this spirituality that, we don't even get along in our clans , you know the amount of witchcraft in our clans , people run away from their families coz of such , I really how everyone is questioning this stuff but keh lets not act as if we now understand
We are friends. We were friends even when I was a born again Christian and she was in AS already. She would ask me pertinent questions that would linger in my mind for days. Like I have always been caught up with izithakazelo, maybe because I am a Litchfield, and we do not have 😂 So I would stick to my mom's, Nkosi, Dlamini. And i would teach the youth at my church to know their, and to recite them. Nokuzola would ask, me, are you not evoking demons, according to your belief, by calling on all these departed spirits?
@@DrKhanyiLitchfieldTshabalalaTshabalala I should like to thank you for being a pillar of hope and light to us all. Sithi makuded' ubumnyama, kuvele ukukhanya. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿There are more people such as yourselves, please do not tire of us asking you to guide us out of this forest we call "the colonization of our minds." We have a proud heritage which deserves to be taught in our schools. @Ntsiki Mazwai, I enjoy your podcast very much, it's both entertaining and educational. Thank you.
Thank you to the Kemetian ancestors who pulled through with that part, through me! I do not plan my talks. Never do. I allow the ancestors to pull through and do their thing.
I wish you could do a podcast about how our ancestors viewed and raised their children. Last year, I researched on whether beating up children is an “African” thing. I learnt that violence and abuse against children never existed because they were seen as reincarnations of their ancestors. So people in places like West Africa believed that hitting a kid or threatening them would scare off their ancestors’ spirit. I also learnt that all the violence and loss we’ve suffered since like the first time Kemet was invaded by outsiders up until European colonization has resulted in so much intergenerational trauma. We are born into families and environments where we’re brainwashed into thinking that being whipped, slapped or pinched or even yelled at is normal and we don’t even talk about it, thinking it’s “a part of our culture.” I live in Australia and here, white people are to some extent aware of all the trauma Aboriginal people still live today. I’ve also watched videos about Native Americans struggling with the same thing. We really need to have conversations and videos about our own pain and how we can heal using our spirituality.
Ndiyamthanda loMama... She reminds of me when I am her age... I am not her age but in my teenage years I spoke like her hence I say she reminds me of when I am her age... It was revealed to me in my teenage years!... Time is an illusion...
I'm really impressed with this procast, it really bringing something to me, as I noticed we're lost some of us. May this continue and be brought back to our ancestors. As some never had an opportunity to be able to do what's our ancestors stand for.
Ooh my, it's clear that South Africa is more ahead in their spirituality than we're in Kenya by far. Most of our schools weren't teaching our local languages unless they've started now! We're still very much a British colony to date. I have learnt alot about African spirituality from watching Credo Mutwa videos this past 3 days or so. It's been an eye opening experience. I feel like we lost our africannes if there's anything like that, when we stopped honouring women like in the past. As women, we have been put in a cocoon where they decide what we should wear, how we should dress, what we can or cannot do. Men can be half naked and not women while in the past past women were more free because morals were observed. Now women are seen as enemies and sex objects such that if a woman is harassed, the first question is always how she was dressed as if it's the responsibility of woman to help men keep their zip up. We definitely deed more these conversations as all Africans so we can embrace who we truly are at our core. Thanks
in Kenya we tend to adopt anything that comes from outside plus the more you move away from your culture the more one is seem to be "civilised". i mean we pay less regard to our local languages local alcoholic drinks and medicines are discouraged and seen as backward.our local spirituality are heavily fought by our christianised society its a shame but its true
@ken this is beautifully put. Unfortunately, we think adopting the Western ways of living or doing things, we are more "civilised " when in essence, we have lost our ways! Talk these stuff with Kenyan Christians and you're sure to be beaten as if God needs us humans to protect him! I'm glad you've highlighted all our traditions that today seems soo backwards. Unless we go back to our ways, we shall remain colonised in our minds and this affects everything in our lives. We can only liberate ourselves when we become REAL to ourselves. The God that was brought to us is actually our real God (minus the fabricated stories) whom we knew oh so intimately
Thank you sis Ntsiki for bringing o mama Tshabalala again... Everything she said is from a holistic point of view not only earthly bound & she goes straight to the core. Camagu🤲🏼 Thokoza 🙇 We love, Honour & Respect you Bo Mme ba Africa 🕯️
I fully agree. And because I speak read and write 6 of our local languages, and also because I do not plan my talks, I just go and let the ancestors, the owners of the knowledge come through - I cannot always promise that I will speak English.
Many many many thanks to the ancestors for sending Mama Khanyisile for bringing light to my soul ! And gratitude and blessings to Unpopular Opinion !❤️🖤💚
🥹 I am so emotional because I have been so deeply moved by this conversation. Dr your Devine purpose in this life is so powerful because you have impacted me to understand everything I was thinking. I’m am right

This is mind blowing! So insightful! We need to pass this education and insight to many Africans. Now I'm so interested to learn the origins of the 'oTshabalala' as a Kenyan from Embu and see where the dots connect.
Oh my God, this is a Gem. So much valuable information, especially since my Master's is based of Afrocentricity area. Wow. Thank you Dr and this podcast
Izangoma zamanje zis'sabisa our thing and the Falsenessness that comes with how they turned this into a money making things.Hhayi Dr you truly need to be celebrated hle
True and total liberation of our ourselves as a people constitutes in making the first step to unlearn the Eurocentric education we have been subjected to and embrace the teachings of brains such as Dr. Khanyisile espouses. We must know we are only now beginning to discover who we really are!
We honestly need dr Shabalala on a regular basis simfimfithe ulwazi kuye. I can so relate with her regarding christianity & the ancestors that practiced it is so me but i pass no judgment 🥲I was once devoted that side. The things she said about sangomas and which craft as well as giving prices and wanting money upfront ✊🏾. CAMAGWINI 👏🏾 great episode as always team of 10😁individuals.
Guys do you realize that this is the true education needed by us African children, not this colonised schooling system. I feel so blessed Thokozani.

Thank you Kumkanikazi...nesivakashi sakho with so much wisdom
Wow! What a candid and refreshing conversation and lesson on African history. I loved it! I will be looking for more from Dr Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala.
I love this woman with all my heart. Her wisdom is a blessing to us son's and daughters of Alkebulan
Ngiyabonga Mduduzi. I love you back. Mayibuye, i-Afrika! Mawabongwe.... amaThonga! Mawathokoze!
My goodness such a fountain of wisdom 💕
Camagu! Mawathokoze!
This interview has raised even more questions from my end. Ntsiki kindly explore opening up for people to come to the podcast where there can be some type of Q and A, i believe this will sell. Thank you for listening to us and bringing her back.

Ntsiki, ndiyakuthanda sisi.🤍
Camagu. 🙏🏽
Ubuyile futhi yoh we love her ❤
You guys really do...
This channel is VERY Important!!!!
I'm glad that I have watched episode 1&2 and I wish all black South Africans watch them because they are both the fountain of true knowledge, we are so obsessed with Christianity, Jesus, Mary, God, Allah, etc. We and all our leaders we are deeply lost!!!
Difference is, some mega big leaders get paid for this dis and mis information for Afrika never to rise. Thina ke? We are in someone's agenda, mahala!
Siyabulela KwiNdlovukazi uDr Tshabalala, lot of gems dropped by her on how to connect with our ancestors. Siyabulela Ntsiki for bringing her again.
💛💛💛💛Thanks from the team
These two episodes were powerful and educational.
Thank you Good Doctor....Your Lectures on Indeginous African knowledge opens up the mind...This is the education that should be compulsory in African schools.Not what we have been conditioned to recognise as important by the colonialists.We hope and pray our God and Ancestors continue to enlighten us,give us power to bring back THE AFRICA!
Mayibuye iAfrika! Mawavuke amaThonga!
Y'all still call it "Africa" named by our colonizers so they say , so which Africa is coming back, y'all acting like you know, but truth is y'all still looking for answers, I really wanna know who we are as people, but black people always have ways to sabotage and fail themselves, for example how do you trust the only people who it is said they still practice our culture if they just want money, we can shout but the problem is within us as black people, for example if you and your siblings are tight no outsider can make you guys turn against each other , mxm in simple organizations and work places , black people still sell each other out , we shout spirituality this spirituality that, we don't even get along in our clans , you know the amount of witchcraft in our clans , people run away from their families coz of such , I really how everyone is questioning this stuff but keh lets not act as if we now understand
taakusimuka manje ( we are rising now) this is the way to go. I wish every school, varsity has this as a mandatory subject
Wow 🤩 🤩 🤩
I would like to hear dialogue between Dr. Litchfield-Tshabalala and Dr Mndende.
We are friends. We were friends even when I was a born again Christian and she was in AS already. She would ask me pertinent questions that would linger in my mind for days. Like I have always been caught up with izithakazelo, maybe because I am a Litchfield, and we do not have 😂 So I would stick to my mom's, Nkosi, Dlamini. And i would teach the youth at my church to know their, and to recite them. Nokuzola would ask, me, are you not evoking demons, according to your belief, by calling on all these departed spirits?
@@DrKhanyiLitchfieldTshabalalaTshabalala I should like to thank you for being a pillar of hope and light to us all. Sithi makuded' ubumnyama, kuvele ukukhanya. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿There are more people such as yourselves, please do not tire of us asking you to guide us out of this forest we call "the colonization of our minds." We have a proud heritage which deserves to be taught in our schools. @Ntsiki Mazwai, I enjoy your podcast very much, it's both entertaining and educational. Thank you.
Mama Mdende was my African Lecturer at UCT in 1995. Sadly they only offered that course at year 1 only.
African Religion*
This 👏 this 👏 this 👏. Thank you especially the parts on gender and Ke'met. Thank you for teaching it.
Thank you to the Kemetian ancestors who pulled through with that part, through me! I do not plan my talks. Never do. I allow the ancestors to pull through and do their thing.
@@DrKhanyiLitchfieldTshabalala ngifunda okukhulu kuwe mama wesizwe sethu.. 👏
I wish you could do a podcast about how our ancestors viewed and raised their children. Last year, I researched on whether beating up children is an “African” thing. I learnt that violence and abuse against children never existed because they were seen as reincarnations of their ancestors. So people in places like West Africa believed that hitting a kid or threatening them would scare off their ancestors’ spirit. I also learnt that all the violence and loss we’ve suffered since like the first time Kemet was invaded by outsiders up until European colonization has resulted in so much intergenerational trauma. We are born into families and environments where we’re brainwashed into thinking that being whipped, slapped or pinched or even yelled at is normal and we don’t even talk about it, thinking it’s “a part of our culture.” I live in Australia and here, white people are to some extent aware of all the trauma Aboriginal people still live today. I’ve also watched videos about Native Americans struggling with the same thing. We really need to have conversations and videos about our own pain and how we can heal using our spirituality.
Ndiyamthanda loMama... She reminds of me when I am her age... I am not her age but in my teenage years I spoke like her hence I say she reminds me of when I am her age... It was revealed to me in my teenage years!... Time is an illusion...
Thank You for letting uMama grace us with her knowledge and wisdom again.🙌🏾
Thank you for watching!
I'm really impressed with this procast, it really bringing something to me, as I noticed we're lost some of us. May this continue and be brought back to our ancestors. As some never had an opportunity to be able to do what's our ancestors stand for.
thanks ntsiki for her. Ka tla ka nyanya letsweleng le tletseng ka tsebo.
This is too good I want to pay to watch it again. 👏🏿👏🏿
Siyabonga Mama for sharing your wisdom with us. It is much appreciated. May you continue to grow in wisdom and sharing it with the world.
Enkosi Ndlovukazi Ntsiki kakhulu ngokuphinda ubuyise le Queen kwakhona the knowledge she's blessed with ininzi sifunda lukhulu kwesisiswenye🙏
Thank you from the team 💛
Ooh my, it's clear that South Africa is more ahead in their spirituality than we're in Kenya by far.
Most of our schools weren't teaching our local languages unless they've started now! We're still very much a British colony to date. I have learnt alot about African spirituality from watching Credo Mutwa videos this past 3 days or so. It's been an eye opening experience.
I feel like we lost our africannes if there's anything like that, when we stopped honouring women like in the past.
As women, we have been put in a cocoon where they decide what we should wear, how we should dress, what we can or cannot do. Men can be half naked and not women while in the past past women were more free because morals were observed. Now women are seen as enemies and sex objects such that if a woman is harassed, the first question is always how she was dressed as if it's the responsibility of woman to help men keep their zip up.
We definitely deed more these conversations as all Africans so we can embrace who we truly are at our core.
Thanks
in Kenya we tend to adopt anything that comes from outside plus the more you move away from your culture the more one is seem to be "civilised". i mean we pay less regard to our local languages local alcoholic drinks and medicines are discouraged and seen as backward.our local spirituality are heavily fought by our christianised society its a shame but its true
@ken this is beautifully put.
Unfortunately, we think adopting the Western ways of living or doing things, we are more "civilised " when in essence, we have lost our ways! Talk these stuff with Kenyan Christians and you're sure to be beaten as if God needs us humans to protect him! I'm glad you've highlighted all our traditions that today seems soo backwards.
Unless we go back to our ways, we shall remain colonised in our minds and this affects everything in our lives. We can only liberate ourselves when we become REAL to ourselves. The God that was brought to us is actually our real God (minus the fabricated stories) whom we knew oh so intimately
Amazing. Empowering. Liberating. Gives new meaning to “the doors of learning and culture shall be open to all.”
Thank you sis Ntsiki for bringing o mama Tshabalala again...
Everything she said is from a holistic point of view not only earthly bound & she goes straight to the core.
Camagu🤲🏼
Thokoza 🙇
We love, Honour & Respect you Bo Mme ba Africa 🕯️
Love your channel, very informative. A humble request to add subtitles as you are now reaching viewers beyond your borders.
Thank you for your suggestion Hawed444, we’ve received many requests, and are working on this 💛
I fully agree. And because I speak read and write 6 of our local languages, and also because I do not plan my talks, I just go and let the ancestors, the owners of the knowledge come through - I cannot always promise that I will speak English.
This conversation has enlightened my own enlightenment
Many many many thanks to the ancestors for sending Mama Khanyisile for bringing light to my soul ! And gratitude and blessings to Unpopular Opinion !❤️🖤💚
I'm glad you brought her back
🥹 I am so emotional because I have been so deeply moved by this conversation. Dr your Devine purpose in this life is so powerful because you have impacted me to understand everything I was thinking. I’m am right
Camagu! mawaongwe amaThonga e-Afrika! Who said there are no miracles in Afrikan Spirituality?
Ntsiki let this conversation continue , if she still has time please let the good Dr come back, we need her . She's highly informative, she knows how to lay it there ,bese eyayihlahluba kahle for us to understand clearly, basically good at articulating,the ancient Matriarch lives through her.
Noted with love
Ngiyamthanda Ugogo Tshabalala, We must rewrite our History.Ngiyakhuleka ukuba nguwe kwakho!
This is mind blowing! So insightful! We need to pass this education and insight to many Africans.
Now I'm so interested to learn the origins of the 'oTshabalala' as a Kenyan from Embu and see where the dots connect.
I'm a proud South African Namibian, much love to this channel
Say on daughters of the soil 💚 it’s about time we held our own ☀️💚🌼
Indeed
Oh my God, this is a Gem. So much valuable information, especially since my Master's is based of Afrocentricity area. Wow. Thank you Dr and this podcast
Truly grateful for Umama, nawe sis Mazwai.. We appreciate this space. Siyathokoza ngemsebenti leniwentako.. Knowledge to meditate on..
Thank you Lihlivangeli, we appreciate you 💛
This mama is doing better work than all politicians in Africa
You are soo making sense, i have recently watched the women king. It relates to what you are saying regading women leading the army
Izangoma zamanje zis'sabisa our thing and the Falsenessness that comes with how they turned this into a money making things.Hhayi Dr you truly need to be celebrated hle
Again So Educational I especially loved her views on our African spirituality. Hopefully, we'll have Dr. Khanyisile again on the podcast!
True and total liberation of our ourselves as a people constitutes in making the first step to unlearn the Eurocentric education we have been subjected to and embrace the teachings of brains such as Dr. Khanyisile espouses. We must know we are only now beginning to discover who we really are!
Only 10 mins in & AMAZING ✨
Thank you❤
I’m so glad people like her are still around to teach us! We just need to listen attentively
The hunger I have to learn more after this podcast is on another level...I've been blessed. Where does one get details of her book/books?
We will let UPstanding Citizens know once her book has been published 💛
You will get. The first book is under editing.
There is so much, just check Khemetic Centred Living on TH-cam
We honestly need dr Shabalala on a regular basis simfimfithe ulwazi kuye. I can so relate with her regarding christianity & the ancestors that practiced it is so me but i pass no judgment 🥲I was once devoted that side. The things she said about sangomas and which craft as well as giving prices and wanting money upfront ✊🏾. CAMAGWINI 👏🏾 great episode as always team of 10😁individuals.
