Jonathan Ball Publishers and Exclusive Books invite you to the launch of Vusumzi Ngxande’s highly anticipated book Journey Kwantu: Exploring African Spirituality and Identity.

Journey Kwantu is inspired by Ngxande’s popular podcast of the same name that delves into South African spiritual identity and beliefs and shows how it has evolved over hundreds of years. The book is rooted in extensive historical research, lived experiences and interviews with healers, teachers and ordinary people trying to live out their truth.

​With a unique ability to simplify complex issues and ask taboo questions, the author endeavours to answers questions like, ‘Who are we?’ and ‘How did we come to believe what we believe?’

In the process he deals with issues he has struggled with on his own spiritual journey, such as death and the afterlife and the authority of the Ancestors vs the Power of God to more practical matters like performing rituals in urban areas and understanding lineage and its impact on one’s spiritual life.

Deeply perceptive and engaging, Journey Kwantu offers a guide and spiritual sustenance to African believers.

Ngxande will be in conversation with Sue Nyathi at the event.
