Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa was a Sanusi, the highest ranked storyteller in Zulu tradition and Southern Africa. In 1969 he broke his vow of secrecy and compiled sacred stories in a book, “to save his people”. He lived the rest of his life under permanent death threat. We are eternally thankful for his courage and passion, that allow us today to study Bantu traditions and mythologies at the same level as all other mythologies and religions around the world.
