It’s time for Africans to start asking uncomfortable questions, according to renowned Pan-Africanist Joshua Maponga. And that includes scrutinising what warped interpretation European Christianity has brought to our continent. In his view, ‘White Jesus should pack his bags and go home’.
Mr Maponga was speaking on the Zimbabwean podcast The Denny J Show. To back up his line of thinking, he said if the Chinese colonised Africa, we would be Buddhists. Therefore, Africans proclaiming they’re Christians, even though it’s the ‘colonisers’ religion, doesn’t make sense, especially as very few Africans follow the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (328 AD). That predates the European Roman Catholic Church and Protestant Church founded in 590 AD, which the colonisers brought and weaponised.
Is Mr Maponga talking sense, or is he taking things too far? Let us know in the comments.
