The Applicability of Phenomenology of Religion: A Case of Kuputsa among the Ndau People, Zimbabwe
This article is an analysis of the phenomenology of religion as both a method and theory. It assesses the applicability of the phenomenology of religion in an African set-up by discussing how the method and theory gave dignity to the study of traditional religions, whose study was and continues to be marred by Western-centred biases and hegemonic tendencies. This article is an appraisal of James L. Cox’s popularization of the phenomenology of rel…
Situating Marombo as sacred spaces in climate-change discourses among the Ndau people of south-eastern Zimbabwe
While work on sacred spaces has persisted for decades, their agency in mitigating climate change remains less explored, especially from indigenous communities’ perspectives. The article unpacks the concept of Ndau marombo as sacred places by exploring how marombo can be used as an agency in a world ravaged by climate change. Rather than seeking generations concerning sacred spaces, this qualitative research was conducted in a Ndau village of Chip…

Continue to wash your hands, continue to wear your mask, continue to sanitize, continue to maintain social distance, and lastly continue to pray'. These were the closing remarks of a pastor who was preaching online to his congregants in the context of the second and third waves of COVID-19 variants. This article focuses on the church's utilisation (or lack) of both religion and science under the 'wash' and 'pray' theology. The article raises this…
Gendered small-scale crops and power dynamics: A case of uninga (sesame) production amongst the Ndau of south-eastern Zimbabwe
Women in Ndau communities, like in many African communities, are the fulcrum of household economies that ensure improved livelihoods of their communities. Thus, they are an indispensable factor in the sustainable development equation of their communities. It is sadly true that women do not own land in most African societies. Consequently, most studies analyse the realities of gender inequality in the distribution of resources that include land. H…
