O. Vengeyi, The Bible in the Service of Pan-Africanismthan anything else. This has seen them sponsor and stand with rebels
against legitimately constituted governments. It is this context Mahoso
responds to. Without this understanding of how the West is viewed from
a pan-Africanist perspective, it is impossible to understand Mahoso.
Thus, I have invested some time describing the context of Zimbabwe,
Southern Africa and Africa at large. The events in Zimbabwe are used by
Mahoso to explain what is going on in other parts of Africa and the
world. At the same time, he uses examples from other parts of the world
and Africa to explain the political, economic, social and religious events
in Zimbabwe.
