Rakotsoane, Francis Lobiane Clement Kwenda, Chirevo African Traditional Religion Bibliography: leaves 231-241. This thesis is an attempt to find out how much justified the missionaries and some local authors are in identifying Molimo with their Christian God (Sky-Divinity). A critical analysis of various Basotho cultural elements and what the early Basotho told the missionaries reveal that Molimo as an ultimate object of worship in the traditional religion of the Southern Sotho, is Water-Divinity, namely, Water Snake and not a celestial being or Sky-Divinity. 2015-01-01T12:52:04Z 2015-01-01T12:52:04Z 2001 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10889 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
