Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa

Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa (born 21 July 1921) is a Zulu sangoma (traditional healer) from South Africa. He is known as an author of books on stories mixing traditional Zulu folklore, extraterrestrial encounters and his own personally created fables. His most recent work is a graphic novel called the ''Tree of Life Trilogy'' based on his writings of his most famous book, ''Indaba my Children''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vusamazulu.com/ )
Credo calls himself a ''sanusi'' (common spelling ''isanuse'') which is a type of Zulu diviner or sangoma. The term stems from a more historic time and is not widely used today, even in a traditional setting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whoswho.co.za/credo-mutwa-3255 )
Credo currently lives with his wife, Virginia, in Kuruman where they run a hospice clinic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sahistory.org.za/people/vusamazulu-credo-mutwa )
==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 Mutwa's maternal grandfather, his parents had no choice but to separate. Credo was born out of wedlock, which caused a great scandal in the village and his mother was thrown out by her father. Later he was taken in by one of his aunts.〔(Credo Mutwa biography. )〕
He was subsequently raised by his father's brother and was taken to the South Coast of Natal (present day KwaZulu-Natal), near the northern bank of the Mkomazi 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.
After falling severely ill, he was taken back to KwaZulu-Natal by his uncle. 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 calling that he was to become a sangoma, a healer. He underwent ''thwasa'' (sangoma training and initiation) with his grandfather and mother's sister, a young sangoma named Mynah.
