"R. Simangaliso Kumalo offers a candid reflection on the interface between politics and religion in Swaziland by reflecting on the works of Joshua Mzizi. The strength of the book is not just the fact that it is written by a Public Theologian but on his ability to reflect on the particular, which is Joshua Mzizi and Swaziland, in order to reveal insights to the bigger story which is the interface between Politics and Religion in Africa.
Through J.B. Mzizi’s writings we get a window to the collusion between religion, culture and politics to keeping the ordinary Africans poor and oppressed. Here, in the first and only major volume is a collection of his academic and popular writings, speeches and autobiographical reflections, his belief in Political Theology, religion and politics, culture and Christianity and the ethics of dialogue and hope. Through his personal story we get insights as to how African intellectuals are made and how they are marginalised, vilified and sometimes persecuted, though in spite of this their message for the continent remains relevant."
