Abstract

I was born and raised in indigenous African tribal culture in Southern Africa. I was raised in an indigenous Shona peasant culture in a village where no-one owned a car, a radio, a book, a newspaper or bank account. The economy was a cashless tribal peasant economy. The culture was rich in tribal traditions and beliefs, as well as rituals and ceremonies. The spiritual roots were deep. Ancestors, mythology and spirits played a dominant role in the life of the community. There was limited contact with Western civilisation and the mission school was the only symbol of modernity.
