⁣In this video we show the existence of two practices of African
traditional religion: the divine and the human.

The divine practice is based on the purification of thoughts. In this
practice the initiate aims to (1) become back the Child of God, an Osiris, he
has been prior to is original bad use of his God-given free will. (2) To
develop a power that will be perpetuated as a human power. (3) To fight
witchcraft through the means of divine Love.

In the human practice the power originally transmitted by the initiate
of the divine practice is used to organize, elevate, and protect society.

The power developed in the divine practice can be used only in good
ways, while the power used in the human practice can be used for good or for
evil purposes. The ancestors acting in the divine practice are those abiding in
the holy world symbolized by water (Bakulu ba maza), while the spirits acting
in the human practice are those animating nature (bakulu ba nseke).

These two practices must work in synergy in order to bring the progress
of Africa; hence, the necessity to understand their distinction and to bring
back the divine dimension in our different cultures.

This video is part of Project South of The Sahara. It's a YouTube history collaboration where channels come together to celebrate the less told tales of African history, specifically those that take place south of the Sahara desert. So much of African historical focus is on North Africa, and while it's certainly important, the rest is a bit overshadowed. In this video we will focus on the Kingdom of Kongo and it's mark on African history.

Dr Muhammad Arabi, Faruk KA Ghafar and other Black Egyptians break down the Afrikanity of ancient Kemet

Ancient Kemet's legacy is often misrepresented as Eurocentric depictions overshadow its true origins. However, evidence suggests that the ancient Kemites were predominantly of Black African descent. Physical anthropology, art, language, culture, and genetic studies support this claim. Its people exhibited a range of skin tones, including darker shades seen in Black Africans. Challenging colonial narratives, modern research aims to rectify historical inaccuracies. Modern Kemet remains a diverse nation, with a significant population of Black Egyptians continuing their cultural legacy. Acknowledging the Black African roots of ancient Kemet fosters a more inclusive understanding of human history and celebrates the rich diversity of humanity.

POLITICS

The ANC has ruled South Africa for 30 years. The party once stood for the end of apartheid. But many voters want change before the 2024 elections.

Nolutahndo Hassamo has also become disillusioned with the ANC. Most of all, she holds the government responsible for the widespread poverty. In Johannesburg she's been taking to the streets to demonstrate for safe and affordable housing. Social inequality is also one of the main points of criticism raised by the new social democratic party RISE Mzansi, together with the country’s rising crime rate. Other parties blame foreigners for all of the country's problems and are calling for deportations. The ANC can still hope to win the upcoming election - but discontent is growing in South Africa. A report by Stefan Möhl.
