‘GOD DOESN’T ANSWER BLACK PEOPLE’S PRAYERS’
The musician Nathi Mankayi, revealed on King David’s Podcast that God never answers black people’s prayers because of the way they pray.
Mankayi added that apart from benefiting from apartheid, white people are more progressive than black people because of how they use what they have.
“As a black person, you pray in English, how do you think God is going to answer your prayers? It is not that God does not understand English, but He gave you your own language. “
“Even when sangomas go to their indumba (a traditional healing space), no matter how they twang, they speak to the ancestors in vernacular. Praying in English as a black person is not powerful.”
Social media user @rapelangmpetha5065 reacted to his interview and said: “The manner in which Nathi articulated himself resonated like hand in glove with initial remarks bro Dave uttered that Nathi’s story is a special one.”
“Needless to say, the interview was not only intriguing but also educational, what a feast for our ears!”
