In this interview titled Joshua Maponga on Africa and the Bible, Christianity & Western Culture, philosopher, academic, theologian, social commentator and public speaker of note Joshua Marara Maponga III revisits some of his thoughts on how Africa and the Bible relate.

This collection of soundbites from his last interview on Something Nice with Dinano, is a selection of a few clips where he focuses on how Africa and Africans relate to God of the Bible, what informs their spirituality and their connection with their ancestors. He brings forth certain claims on how Africans present themselves before God, saying Africans do not worship ancestors, but they do acknowledge them whenever they pray.

He continues to emphasize his assertion that Africa's relation with God precedes colonization and the advent of christianity, citing different African names for God as a way of showing that these people have been having communion with God.

The Gospel according to Maponga is about Africa and how Africa links with the history of the Bible and in his understanding, Africa plays a significant role in the Bible and prophecy, but because of how the gospel was presented to the continent by the Europeans, these African related truths have been neglected.

Bishop Joshua Maponga says Africans believe in a monotheistic God. Maponga is not only a theologian but is also a prominent commentator on news in South Africa and the African continent.

“When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.” ― Jomo Kenyatta

Beautiful teaching. Thank you vaMaponga my elder. We Africans need to wake up from religious psychosis, we're the chosen nation, let's think and act like it.

This is so awesome to watch I’m a Christian and African(Malawian🇲🇼) I am fostered by a white South African lady which I love to bits and I was also raised by my biological parents whom I love so much and thank God for. Being in a white home has made me love my ethnicity and I know that who I am is for a reason, that God did not make a mistake. Ancestry is very important, I find as a Christian it is important to know who you come from because there are many struggles that happen in your life that dates back to a forefather that you now have to deal with (exodus 20:4-5).But also positive things that you get from your forefathers . I will point out that I do not ask my ancestors for help or commit any sacrifices for them because I believe that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ, and that He sent His Holy spirit to guide us.
