Perhaps the one singular distinction of CredoMutwa within the various generations of New African intellectuals is that he moved from tradition to modernity and back to tradition.
While CredoMutwas refusal or incapacity to recognize disciplinary boundaries, different epistemological systems of explanation, as well as different modes of discourse, accounts for his great facility as a story teller, it is also at the center of his endless political blunders.
Given this positioning, it is not surprising that CredoMutwa posits lack of understanding as the fundamental reason for the conflictual nature of the currents caught in the maelstrom of modernity in South Africa.
VusamazuluCredoMutwa, acclaimed author and Zulu witch doctor, is a confidence man whose efforts parallel those involved in the Burrows Cave hoax.
Mutwa claims terrorists destroyed the inscribed artifacts in 1985, when his village was burned by Zulu radicals.
Whether Mutwas inscribed artifacts are/were believed to be genuine antiquities or modern products of spiritual exercise and ritual and not meant to be represented as ancient, is a private matter for Mutwa and his followers.
