Former SDA pastor and philosopher Joshua Maponga has clarified why he is visiting the caves
Maponga who left Christianity some years ago says he is now taking time to reconnect with mother earth. He says it’s a healing process to find the roots of our ancestors and reconnect with culture.
He once said most of churches today must be closed down and be made factories because Pastors are now forming churches for them to make money and be rich not to preach the word of God. He has also raised various concerns about religion and the demonization of the African Traditional Religion.
He however holds certain Christian beliefs , he once said Imagine after sharing one verse with you they will now tell you that for God to bless you, pay thanks giving, pay tithing, pay pastors basket, pay offering, pay leadership participation, pay leadership training and so many programs within the church.
Christians are now working for pastors not for their families and God. They need to open their eyes.
It seems that Maponga has an issue with Christianity in Particular and this new path he is following is a way to find spiritual connection. It is now clear in which worldview he believes in at the moment.
Many however have criticized and called him a mad man for going to live in the forest whilst others point out that it’s a public stance to gain attraction.
