Some major South African university announced Thursday
that it will make Zulu language classes compulsory for all
undergraduate students from next year, in an effort to
boost proficiency in indigenous languages. Students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, in the
eastern port city of Durban will be required to pass a
course in Zulu before they can graduate. Deputy vice-chancellor Renuka Vithal said the decision
reflected the university's "commitment to the
development of isiZulu as an academic language
alongside English, which at this stage remains the main
language of learning and instruction." Zulu is the mother tongue of a quarter of South Africa's
50 million population and is spoken by over 80 percent
of people in the KwaZulu-Natal province, where the
university is located. "At a university where more than 60 percent of students
are isiZulu-speaking, the institution has an obligation to
ensure that linguistic choices result in effective learning
solutions," said the statement.

Zulu Spirituality

Zulu teaches about the supreme, the God Mveliqangi, umninintozoke, which means the collective force or energy of all entinties in the universe. All things we see around us and ourselves are a speck of Mveliqangi's energy. This teaches oneness of humans with the earth, animals and universe. Humans are not given superiority but above other entinties but are taught to obtain balance, order and harmony with nature.
UMveliqangi is not genderised nor humanized. Some Zulu people may refer to the supreme as a Father, but this is metaphoric, its looking at the role played by fathers in society.
Christianity now teaches my people that God is a supreme man.

AmaZulu were taught about the principles behind the collective force. They were not taught to fear and worship Mveliqangi but they were taught that their everyday actions must be in accordance with the principles. There must be logic behind ones actions.
Christianity today teaches my people to fear god and worship him.

Zulu teaches, do what is right, fair and good, then the world will be good to you, amagugu. Do what is wrong, injustice and bad, the world will bad to you, amashwa. When a person dies their body, umzimba returns to the earth and their spirit, umoya is released, there spirit is believed to be in direct contact with the collective force. The spirit/energy cannot die. Families chose a member's spirit who had good virtues while alive, the latter's spirit will be raised to iDlozi. IDlozi is a spiritual pillar, guide, blesser and protector of the family. AmaDlozi also reignforce order, when there is a bad deed or something not right, da family is usual accompanied by badluck, amashwa, then they'll consult iDlozi , bashweleze baqondise izigwegwe, straighten their actions.
Christianity tells my people that there is life after death, there is heaven for those who heed da word of their god and hell for those who dont. It also tells dem about angels, who come from heaven.

There is no concept of the devil in Zulu. People are they are responsible for their actions, good or bad, its ones choice.
christianity teaches about da Devil, satan.

There is also uNomkhubulwana, uNomdede, uNomhhoyi. Everything that grows and promotes growth on earth, plants, rain etc. Is linked with Nomkhubulwana's energy, mother nature. The force is given a faminine trait, this is metaphoric, its reffering at da role played by mothers in society. When there is drought, Nomkhubulwana is consulted by young virgin girls at the summit. When the girls touch ground, the rain follows them. Nomkhubulwana is also a part of Mveliqangi, the collective force which is also called Mkhulukhulwana.
Christianity well its chauvanistic even in its concepts.
