EarthKeepers believes it is good to
'bloom where you are planted,' joining forces and working together
with people in one's community. When you 'stick your finger in
the pond', the ripples you create travel out across the world.
Therefore "Think global - act local." |

Vusumazulu Credo Mutwa and the Zulu Nation of South Africa Earthkeepers collaborates with the work of Credo Mutwa and wishes to promote his efforts. Credo Mutwa, well-known wise man of Africa and Sansui (uppermost sangoma) of all sangomas in south Africa, is respected and known by people across the world. His first book, Indaba My Children, brought him international acclaim and a huge following. His vast knowledge and erudition, combined with humility and a sense of humor, have also made him a popular public speaker. Credo Mutwa: seer, sage, sangoma, inyanga, healer, psychic and storyteller. No single word can describe this most remarkable human being. One thing is certain, though -- Credo Mutwa will go down in history as a man who was able to bridge the gap between white and black South Africans and start a healing process.
