This is the type of wisdom we need as the new african generation. Much respect thank king
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot!
Even the western World needs this wisdom
Who else is enjoying this like me❤❤❤
Baba Maponga, please write a book about these teachings. We need to preserve such knowledge for the generations to come.
Respect my elder.. am from Burundi and honestly speaking this is the kind of education we need in our schools not what we have here in Africa. Free African youth to free next generation of one Africa.
It's inspiring to hear your perspective on education in Africa. Keep pushing for positive change!
Burundian also,I have been following this Old Daddy for some months but I can't regret for listening him for so long, let us get this in our Eden
@@dieu-aimekubwimbabazi8329 please leave the concept of Eden out of this. Let’s wake up as Africans
I hope one day our leader will stop being blinds to truth. Let's change our schools system and will have new Africa as super power in 50 years
This man should be protected at all costs
Your support means a lot, thank you!
For what?? Lol. Do you know him? I know him personally. He is waste of space.
@@bekisiphotshili2566and why do you believe your personal prejudices should override hitherto objective opinions of others?
@@bekisiphotshili2566 waste of space is you mother 😔

🤷🏿♂️😫
ABSOLUTE RESPECT FOR THIS GENTLEMAN! Proud to be Zimbo right now!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Baba Maponga is a Treasure and should be cherished!
Am from Uganda (East Africa)
Av followed Joshua for long an I believe soon the next generation will understand from him to our families as we keep passing on the truth about African.
I salute in the name of Black.🙏
This is one of Joshua’s best
The woman is where the salvation of Africa is, it is the heart of our problems
Glad you enjoyed it! Joshua always brings unique perspectives to the table.
I truly wish I could have one conversation with this man, every time I hear him speak it’s pure wisdom 🦻
Totally get you, his words hit differently every time!
His wisdom must be recorded all the public platforms
its all lies
@@chrisv.noire.6388 If the lie helps Africa, it is a good lie
Couldn’t stop crying, watching this. Bless and love. There is work to do.
Your emotions are valid. Thank you for watching and feeling with us.
Lost words to express my joy from this insightful teachings. Thank you BABA Maponga and thanks to you Prof 👏🙏
You are very welcome
This Man is a Genius.
The truth does not need to be defended, it is self evident and will always defend itself.
The living spirit known as Joshua Maponga is sharing self evident living truth.
We thank you 🙏🏿 We appreciate you
Thank you for your kind words and support!
💜👏🏾
From a African American this was very much so needed I will probably play this once a week or so
This wisdom has been kept from us especially of the diaspora. We would not have experienced the annihilation that ultimately happened if we could have had counsel of this magnitude. It all makes sense now. When a woman truly understands her role, her decisions in the beginning will shape her and her family's future. She would observe a suitor with different eyes.Can we please have more of this magnificent teacher?
How I wish those old traditions can be translated into books so we can teach our young one , I must say thank you Master Maponga and your ancestoral lineage for the wisdom , the courage , the strength to deliver the message with such clarity . 🎉
It's amazing how traditions and wisdom can be passed down through generations!
So much knowledge and wisdom! Thank you ntate Maponga 🤍
My pleasure!!
Probably the best session I have seen on the entire YT about the indigenous African.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the content.
I fill like he was preaching to my soul.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
The part on land is very true. We need to protect our land jealously
I'm glad you agree! It's so important to protect our environment.
I am speechless.. This is so profound 🙌🏿✊🏿
Thank you so much for your kind words!
This was so insightful. Thank you for sharing . Love and respect from 🇰🇪.
This is wisdom..May the Almighty bless this man for making it all make sense
Wow! Thank you Baba Maponga❤
We appreciate your support!
Thanks so much u make me cry.
I'm glad my content resonates with you!
I can’t wait to play this 50 times. I’m so happy I came across this explanation of what it is to be a woman that is INCLUDED in the cycle of life. In balance with the man, not in competition. We have different qualities so we must work together. I need to know rights of passage because it is much needed. I wish I had this when I was young. Can’t wait for the book on beads! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾💜✌🏾
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video resonated with you.
@@theealfahouse Please Keep going ✌🏾💜🙏🏾and thanks again
I am also waiting for this book ,I am stuck on the part of competition I don't know why the men think when we are talking of feminism it means competition IT'S NOT.
It is these type of teachings that will give us complete mental freedom and healing
Baba maponga should be UNESCO and UNAOC special African Representative at the UN. This knowledge must be protected 🎉
Your wisdom and knowledge is power Mr Maponga I miss those days pure and truthful days let the on who awaken you and lift you up to ur self knowledge be praised HALLELUYAH
This teaching today is filled with sooo much wisdom! "What did we loose? We lost EVERYTHING!" What a quote! This Message is needed to bring transgenerational healing to our communities in Africa and wherever our people have been scattered!! I have a list of people I am sending this video 📹 link to.👏🏽🗣🔥
I'm glad you found the video impactful and resonated with the message!
So far this is the only prophet I know. May Jah protect you and keep on blessing you with information. Long live Mkanya🐒
My heart is rejoicing with the knowledge you are sharing Sir
So nice of you
Always a well of African wisdom this one.
This MOSES should be developing the educational curriculum for all K-12 schools in Africa and watch how the continent will change! So glad these words of wisdom are on record. Wow. We have lost so much as a people and need to hit that reset button NOW.
Thank you Maponga for sharing the true knowledge and wisdom passed down from our ancestors. You just articulated the loudest voice deep within us, Africans and all humanity. Thank you again for the profound wisdom, and greetings from Ethiopia.
Profound! Articulate! Hitting the nerve. This wisdom must be preserved. I salute you Mr. Maponya 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for listening
J. M. Maponga is very wise Bwana!!!!!!!. When listening, don't leave your brains behind. Very powerful and Insightful.
If Maponga is in Kenya tell us. Tunataka izo vitabu.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the content powerful and insightful.
Thank you Baba Maponga 🙏🏾🌌
We appreciate your support!
Such a beautiful way of explain the importance of the African girl child, the importance of her getting lobolad, her being as a mother, and purpose of her once she become a mother and grandmother to the family.
Thank you Ntate Mapongwa!
African American here, and learning 🫡
Bro you are not african American be either african or America
@@sergesntirandekuranikuki2635 my genetics is African my nationality is American, I hope you know the difference between Ethnicity/Race and Nationality/Citizenship
@@SlimSlugga713well said brother. Sending ❤ from 🇿🇼
Protect this man
Wow... I could not tire listening to elder Maphonya. Africans we are lucky to have him still alive! They are very few of him.
Much gratitude to this rare melanated being given to us as a treasure.❤
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me!
My one and only favourite African spirituality teacher. You really inspire me to read more about African traditions and customs.
Greetings and love from Namibia 🇳🇦
Maponga, one of my challenges is that the practice of beads for the female cycle was done away with in both immediate and extended family settings. Those that had the right methods have since passed ogogo labokhokho.Current parents and aunties are pretty much following the post colonial systems and practices, which is what we were taught. We are learning from those that still want to preserve the African culture. Your book on the beads would be a great help to many.
It's wonderful to hear that the book on beads could be of help in preserving African culture.
Looking forward to this book
Brother! We must take the message far and wide. PLB ❤
Absolutely, let's spread the message together!
He is a great teacher
Thank you for recognizing his teaching skills!
We women are spiritual beings and men also have their roles. We should not confuse the two. As I said to someone recently we grow people in our bodies. God puts the spirit us and we do the rest. Im a woman and i honour all women.❤
Attire 100% perfect
Thank you for honoring women. ❤
Protect then man. He is the Ancestor
Thank you for recognizing his significance!
These are the types of men we need in our homes and communities🙏🏽💛🙌🏽✨💫
This brother right here!!! Simply amazing!!! Salute Bishop!
Powerful my brother. The Jewish society was indeed patriarchal. That's why God is portrayed as being male.
Thank you for sharing this wisdom 🙏🏾
You are so welcome
What a brilliant beautiful being, so much wisdom ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate your support.
@@theealfahouseyou are most welcome, I appreciate and ❤your videos.
I could listen to you all day tate
The statement that our ancestors have been perfecting AI for centuries touched my soul thank you ❤
I'm glad you found that statement touching!
Peace and Blessings
When the student is ready, the teacher shall appear!
Blessings
Thank you for your kind words!
His wisdom isn't for everyone to understand, many we take him for granted but in him is a fountain to tap from.
Your wisdom is very important to the generation of Africans that wants to go back to the traditional world.
I say thanks for allowing us into your insights.
Your kind words mean a lot to me, thank you for taking the time to appreciate my insights!
I really like the "go back" part. It is very possible. Many of us are at that turning point. Yes, I'm becoming one with nature. We are being called back to the real us., especially the African diaspora. It is a lovely, healing journey.
It's amazing how reconnecting with nature can bring us closer to our true selves.
Ese Baba! You have truly analyzed the corruptions we face from lies generationally taught to societal ills. But the shift is here, and you are definitely one of those to tell, teach and bring the truth to the surface. ❤❤❤
You are an archive of true African ancestors knowledge. The generation is lost due to culture and tradition we left them behind. We have to go back fetch what hold uss so
This is such a great wisdom, so amazing ❤❤
Much thanks to Joseph Maponga🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Very insightful..the Man we need in our Generation.. brilliant Philosopher
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video insightful.
If my wishes could come true then the living spirit Joshua maponga could have a conversation with professor PLO Lumumba in combination with Malema of PFF
That would be an epic conversation to witness!
This is by far the most beautiful, poetic and insightful way that I have EVER heard the purpose, value and power of woman explained. Joshua Maponga is the elder sent to Africa's children by the ancestors to inform and enlighten us who are so far disconnected from their identities. It's content like this that makes me so grateful for the internet. Much love and gratitude from the African Diaspora in the Americas.
I’m not sure of the core of feminism on the African continent but to my understanding the core of it was to overcome oppressive behavior.
Me being a more traditional based woman, but a woman either way I don’t see women trying to rise above men. I feel women are simply rising at a high level..Many women have not been given a space to feel valuable in previous times, despite the tremendous role she has played in maintaining the family..physically, and through tremendous emotional labor.
I do feel feminism has been distorted.
But I do know women are being heard and seen in a way they have never had opportunity for before. Not as just a tool, that doesn’t have emotions and needs,
but an extremely important being in the concept of marriage and relationships and the over all community and society.
The world is resetting itself.
Requiring a new frequency from everyone.
The very essence of the feminine is wisdom.
Like the wind seen as feminine.
It can be a soft flowing breeze or a force of nature.
The core of nature will always lean towards or creating acts that ultimately bring order to the earth (the masculine container.)
Your insights on the evolving role of women in society are thought-provoking and insightful.
@@theealfahouse Thank you, with a deep sigh of delight and relief.
It's always so tricky stepping into this male energy space and not wanting to cause offense, while offering a feminine perspective.
Thank you for your kind reply.
Only in Western culture. Women in my African culture were the pillars of our homes.
How profound and thank you for sharing. I feel the same. And I also feel the feminine is not just rising in men. For half of what makes them is their mothers. There is indeed a new frequency resetting the world, but the resistance to it will be strong. We must remember that the patriarchal dominating and often toxic roles we see our men inhabiting these days was imposed by outsiders and has been in place for a 1000 years. The work continues.
@@karenl7786 Yes the frequency is impacting everyone. I'm personally embodying ease amongst the sturggle.
I choose to experience as things transitions and reset and an abundant amount of personal growth.
I’m ready to go back!
Wow!!! God bless your heart, l agree with you, l'm not very old but l found our people doing that
Yes, thank you
The basic fundamentals of our traditions as Africans well said.the light for future generations, thank you @Mr Maponga
Powerful... I am really keen on understanding Africanism
Thanks papa for ur teachings.Enlignment of Africans
My pleasure
Wise words!!
Well articulated
Wonderful words of wisdom 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏.
I loved the talk. Cant wait to hear about men + masculinity. :)
I wish you guys had these talks available as a podcast on Spotify. I love listening and it might bring even more exposure to your amazing work
wowow, so much respect. pastoral life and africal life is really the way of life. it is unfortunate we have lost everything!
I am a 78 yr old white guy in Texas. Watch a lot of African channels as I find the diversity of peoples so incredibly interesting. From what I see though, Africa has a serious problem of how men relate to women, although that is in itself a diverse issue. When I see how many women are raped and abused in SA and like in Kenyan slums, it is just appalling. We have a serious issue of this sort her in America and no doubt in much of the "West." but it is not derived from tribal traditions that make females subservient, rather a general legacy of European values where females were regarded as property of men. We only overcame that in the last decades really, and the feminist movement played a huge role in being the driving force for that change. Women are still struggling here, especially women of color, but issues like rape and beatings are marginal, unlike what I see in some African societies. I have six black American godchildren who are in their 30's, and such relationships are wholly foreign to their values, thank god.
I agree I'm studying all types of Cultures and their History. I appreciate you for being open❤
You are wrong , because before the Arabs and European came in Africa woman were the head of every Kingdom just like it was in Kemet (Egypt)
The best talk I ever heard in my life.
Wow 👏👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Dr Clenora Hudson Weems wrote about this on Africana Womanism, great book for African women to ponder on.
Equally enjoyed this episode speaks to the heart of the role of African women in spiritual sense-beautiful.
I hardly ever see anyone mention Africana Womanism and/or Dr Hudson Weems. Thank you for making my day.
@@cosmic130 Pleasure 😊, Perhaps a lot of people have not heard of her work or who she is, maybe that’s why.
Nice story. He's right. There is no going back and thank goodness for that.
What an amazing interview!!! I had the pleasure of sharing space with the Bishop when he was officiating at my cousins wedding earlier this year. He is truly an exceptional man. We truly are blessed to have such gems shared with us. Thank you so much to @The Alfa House! This was fantastic.
You have indeed presented this subject with great wisdom and knowledge. Thank you Sir
My pleasure
Powerful very informative ✊🏿 Knowledge itself ⚒️
This is beautiful ❤ as is this man
Wow, this is just a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
Thank you, great speech!
Your wisdom is not of this world , I can listen to you all day; there’s power from your word🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Absolutely a treasure! Very informative and encouraging! Thanks for sharing @THEE ALFA HOUSE!
I agree. I've been actively doing thus for 50yrs. ❤ Welcome
That's amazing! 50 years is truly impressive. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I was a farmer at some stage. Originate from a mix chemistry of Khoi /San, Scottish French, Indian branch of outcasts in the deep South of Afrca. "Colored" community now a Town called De Aar,in the Northern Cape. 66yrs old
❤ you are a great 😅orator Maponga 🎉
😊 thank you
It's about time we had our own philosophy which is well defined, documented and designed to our societal needs than those of Western countries which enfranchised women because of capitalism.
Feminism was created to demasculanize men if that's a word
Feminism was created to give expecially Zimabwean Woman access to land and money.Woman could own Land befor Faminism.Feminism was created to protect woman and Children from abusive male behavior.Feminism was created to give Woman their dignity back
@@nyashamahleko7007 did you know that women had the role of being nurturers of children and carers of homes. Today you decide to hire someone to raise my kid. Today you can argue that you can't make time for me cause you're tired from work. You earn more than your husband and in most cases you forget your role as a woman since you think you can afford yourself, you can provide even for a man which in the past was an abomination in the patriarchal system.FEMALE LIONS ARE BETTER HUNTERS BUT UNDERSTAND THEIR ROLES. Women have misconstrued what Feminism is especially Africans who aren't conservative and are enticed by Western ill culture and lifestyle which tbh is not even old compared to what we have been accustomed to in the centuries of existence in the continent
I hear your argument but feminism is the reason today we have high divorce rates today. It's why women don't value themselves. Today a woman can set her own lobola or bridal price. There's no way a providing man can not protect his family especially if they give you the respect and honour you deserve as a honourable respectful man. Yes Feminism gave you equality but also opened doors for the woman to feel like she can do whatever a man does, this gave you the illusion that you are more superior because you carry what we as men value as a necessity and primary reason why we're alive. Women are more masculine in the figurative and literal sense of the word. Who took their dignity back? 😂😂😂
So twerking on social media, walking around half naked, not breastfeeding my kids, not being there every step of the way, allowing a worker to cook, iron for me, ONLYFANS, legal prostitution, drinking alcohol and drug use, waking at night and abortion etc. are all examples of the dignity you want back?
I won't allow my woman to be told what to do by her boss at work, the pastor at her church or by her male relatives and male besties because in the end I won't be able to control a person with so much autonomy.
Thank you for the education
