On February 28, Iintsimbi and Iintswizwa held an impromptu meeting to discuss the significance and value of a spiritual man in society. This gathering was part of a series of meetings organised by The Revelation Spiritual Home (TRSH) under the guidance of Inkosi Yamakhosi Omoya Imboni, Dr. uZwi-Lezwe Radebe. The aim was to address the challenges faced by TRSH and help modern African men appreciate their manhood, understand their responsibilities, and move away from patriarchal tendencies. The meeting took place at the KwaMama Spiritual Centre in Johannesburg.
The decline in moral values and systems among men in various parts of Africa is a complex issue. It is largely driven by a lack of spirituality, economic hardship, and, to some extent, the breakdown of traditional social structures. This shift has contributed to rising crime rates, gender-based violence, fatherless societies, and an increased focus on materialism—often referred to as “moral decay.”
TRSH, an African Indigenous spiritual institution, is dedicated to reshaping the mindset of the modern African man and helping them reclaim their dignity within African societies. The institution emphasises that while times change and fashions evolve, the core principles of manhood remain constant.
A man is inherently a leader. In ancient times, African men were guided by spiritual principles that informed how to lead their families and embody dignity, respect, and pride in their identity as men.
During the meeting, it was noted that many modern African men have strayed from these fundamental principles and have succumbed to trends promoting promiscuity and the mistreatment of women. Some justify such behaviour by claiming that “a man is a leader; a man is polygamous by nature.”
The agenda also highlighted that while polygamy is a recognised and accepted practice, the men of TRSH should not use it to fulfil selfish desires. Instead, they must approach polygamy with dignity and honesty.
The floor was opened for attendees to share their views and experiences regarding their hardships as men and their aspirations to build families. One speaker noted that many men feel intimidated by successful women, particularly those within the TRSH community, where the calibre of women is high and admirable. This intimidation contributes to the fact that many women at TRSH remain single, hindering the realisation of the concept of “isosha esosheni.”
To conclude the meeting, it was suggested that while gatherings like these are beneficial, recreational programs should be developed to create a hub where men can relax and share ideas.
Indeed I felt the last part about most men being intimidated by TRSh women who seem to be more successful than them. Such gatherings are important as they highlight such factors. I wish men out there could really be part of TRSah the world would be a better place indeed.
Kuhle the message was indeed very important in times of the aquarius Era and being guided by inkosi yamakhosi omoya we thank the message it will help us as Africans men in this journey and leave they fear behind and focus in the important matters and leason isambulo
Oh, this is beautiful only if all men could open their eyes and agree to be guided so they can serve their purpose: to make the world a better place. Because you do good when you feel good, and when you feel good, you fight to become a better version of yourself.
