Kotuswa mu Bukulu: The ancestralization of Tata Kimbandwe Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau*
by Mark A. Bolden, Ph.D. Washington DC Metro Chapter ABPsi The Fanon Project
Trinity Washington University

The passing of an elder is like the burning of a library according to Amadou Hampate Ba. Tata (Baba/father) Fu-Kiau informs us that the transition process is the setting of a sun from the upper world of the living, Ku Nseke, to the lower world of Ku Mpemba (Fu-Kiau, 1991, p. 8). One, particularly a master (fundi), becomes an nkulu (ancestor) by the virtue of leading a balanced life, which is evaluated by the bukulu (ancestors) and the living who choose to elevate the recent ancestor to the status of an nkulu (balanced ancestor). These proverbs fit well for our recent beloved Nkulu (ancestor) Tata K. K. Bunseki Fu-Kiau who went “on vacation” at the ripe age of 7 million and some seventy-odd years in December 2013. Dr. Fu-Kiau was an nganga (healer) initiated into the highest KiKongo systems of learning. He came to ABPsi formally through the conference in 2008 for our 40th anniversary celebration of ABPsi, on a panel devoted to the wisdom of traditional African religions along with Oulimata Seck, daughter of the ancestor Maam Fatou Seck and head ndeppkatt (practitioner of Ndepp) of the Sengelase tradition of Ndepp. It was there where he instructed us from the panel to protect the children, imploring elder Dr. Robert L. Williams to encircle the organization and to bestow his blessings and protection. It was a profound ritual to restore order in the moment of unrest within the audience and looming confusion. Moreover, it taught us that it is our responsibility to protect the children in our role as healers/therapists (mfied’i) of our community (boko) and patients (mbèvo).
