Complaint

I must say I strongly disagree with the information you have provided.

Isaiah Shembe (not Shambe) started a church around 1910 that was based on the Christian knowledge he had and the revelation he believes he received from God. This church does not represent the beliefs of amaZulu. Shembe cannot be called a Zulu messiah as only amaZulu but also other tribes, for example amaXhosa, worship him.

The diviner, who mediates with amaDlozi is rarely ever a woman. This is the duty of the head of the family who is always a male figure. If the father in the family is dead, this head will then be one of his brothers or his eldest son. Not a woman.

AmaZulu do believe that some deaths are caused by natural disasters. That is why the ones who believe in ancestral worship will ask their ancestors to pray to God to forgive them for whatever sin they might have committed to bring such bad luck in the family.

This information is also widely available on the internet. You may also approach the South African consulate in your country.

I have read that the late Lucky Dube did much to help spread the teachings of this church. Perhaps it would be beneficial if somebody knowledgeable in the subject could add some information on his contributions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.164.201.93 (talk) 02:09, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i second them

i have a belief that this church welcomes every black person even if you are a venda person it welcomes you, is not for the zulus only is just that zulu people sometimes resist to change what is this church doing is there in every bible, they did not change what they used to do in the past. they followed what their ancerstors belive was right.

Possible source for more info

While working on the Isaiah Shembe article, I found an encyclopedia article on Google Books that might provide more details for this article: The book is Encyclopedia of African and African-American Religions, edited by Stephen D. Glazier. The specific article is "The amaNazaretha" by Irving Hexham, pp.34-37. Cheers, Aristophanes68 (talk) 16:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
