INDIGENOUS AFRICAN RELIGION > THE DIVINITIES of the Fairy Mistresses of the Little People (dwarfs) who of the Dogon, the Baule, the Masai and the chokwe. 1984) back to index of indigenous AFRICAN RELIGION, http://www.hypertextile.net/BLAKHUD/ind-reli/ind02.htm
Extractions: INDIGENOUS AFRICAN RELIGION CHAPTER TWO THE DIVINITIES It is obvious from the foregoing chapter on the African's concept of God that he believes in the existence of other spiritual beings. He also believes that these spiritual beings or forces are ministers of God. And, as will be seen, these beings are assigned various duties in the African society. The concluding paragraphs of the last chapter explain the relationship between these beings and God. Therefore, in bowing to the divinities, the African does not only ask for his personal security and prosperity. He does not only ask for himself wealth, wives, children, health and protection. He also asks for unity, peace and happiness for his neighbours. As will be seen in subsequent chapters, the African's religious concept and practices are communalistic. DIVINITIES AS FORCES OF CONTROL The African is fully aware that his society, like his state, needs devices of control to moderate the various forces that are equally necessary and bound to oppose each other. He believes that tastes differ and ideas would contradict idea not as a devil-angel theology. There must be sanctions to bring about order, peace, progress and happiness. He therefore falls on the divinities which seek counsel from God to provide these sanctions. No doubt his assembly, his court, his police and his soldiers are the shrine. It is the divinities that compel him to live a life of reason and righteousness. This point will be illustrated especially in the chapters on initiation, reforms and the rule of law.

Or are you just dying to know how to get cool sunglasses like Peter Bechtel's? You sent us your questions and we did our best to get them answered for you and posted them below. Q: What effect does the Zimbabwe conflict concerning their wildlife poaching due to lawlessness have on Mozambique's poaching problem? Does the turmoil cross a porous border and spill into Mozambique? Also were the wild dog populations there decimated by the civil war and if not what is their status? Jim in Manassas, Va. Since the lawlessness in Zimbabwe is limited mainly to farm land, ranches and the Zambezi Valley, I do not think it has spilled over into Mozambique in a significant way if at all. As for the second part, wild dogs receive total legal protection in Mozambique. However, the outlook is not hopeful. Published reports indicate that there was a rapid decline in wild dog numbers after 1975, due to unregulated sport hunting, persecution by cattle farmers, and degradation of habitat. There are no records of disease. Wild dogs cross the border from Kruger National Park, South Africa in the south, and are also common in southern Tanzania to the north so, should conditions improve, Mozambique might be ideally placed for recolonization. The planned cross-border park envisaged joining Kruger to Mozambique will be of great benefit to wild dogs.

Extractions: Communications Background: Almost five centuries as a Portuguese colony came to a close with independence in 1975. Large-scale emigration by whites, economic dependence on South Africa, a severe drought, and a prolonged civil war hindered the country's development. But in 1987 the Mozambican government launched an Economic and Social Rehabilitation Programme (PRES), resulting in fundamental reforms of the system and the implantation of a market economy. The basic goal is to achieve financial stability at national and international level, and to reactivate the economy in a sustainable form.
