The mganga, traditionally, is one who could facilitate the remembrance and practice of linking the cosmic to the particular experience cogently.

Now the mganga's shrine has been desecrated and his/her practice exiled by a rude being focused on the particular.

Isn't this a great failure, and perhaps a dehumanization?

I have little doubt that the political revolution we talk about so oftenly is about the recall of the 'mganga'.

Rediscovery of the mganga, and the creation of an appropriate language...

I don't think the english translations are correct. The mganga has elements of witchcraft and soothsaying/prophecy.

The mganga is someone who has a myth or grand unifying theory for a community/society and facilitates a peaceful understanding of life for all involved.

I think it's a very difficult and delicate job. And vital too...

No. This is the right path. The path to an identity that is alive and is adaptive. It is about freedom.
