Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Dear All:
This wonderful and inspiring short speech by the great Zulu shaman, author, historian and philosopher Credo Mutwa is the most heartfelt and passionate appeal for Africa you will ever hear.
Here's the story of how this remarkable clip was captured. I had just that minute switched on the microphone, and had asked Credo to say a word or two as a routine audio test. I thought he might say "1-2-3", or "Hello, hello".
What he said instead was worthy of an appeal to the United Nations by one of the great statesmen of the world. It was quite unplanned, and I was more than fortunate to be able to record it all.
This moving speech is MUST WATCH essential viewing for anyone who knows Credo Mutwa's life and work, and for anyone who cares about the fate of Africa.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
"Sound check", indeed.
"Can you hear me?
Can you hear me calling?
Can you hear me calling you?"
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
That was absolutely incredible.
Bill, it must be deeply moving to have the privilege of recording Credo's life story, he is one of the most spiritual men ever to have spent time on this lonely, little marble of a planet.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
He's such a lovely man, a wonderful soul...Bless him.
Well lets hope his words are heard and answered. If not here then elsewhere!
Loved the song at the end. One of my favorite groups. :-)

Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Thank you, Bill, & the great & good Credo Mutwa --
here's a song by Juluka, 'Scatterlings of Africa'

edit to add that i think it very sad that the continent where all humans began this round of recorded history, Africa, & her people, are pretty much ignored by the rest of the world -- & there is seldom a news story about the fact that AIDS is ravaging the population in some places -- 'Africa, the Forgotten Continent'
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
the more I see of this man, the more I am amazed by him.
In his final days, he still has the courage in his heart to defend what is right.
He still has the love in his heart for nations under attack by such evil, that it is beyond any war that human kind has waged against itself.
May his spirit ever be strong and his spirit forever remain pure.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Credo Mutwa - a bright light over Africa, in this World and the next - a really great being!
- I love how he suddenly comes back into this reality after having looked into the other one, and how he starts talking with such clearity, such strength...
Great, that you had the opportunity to catch this, so his message can reach many many people out there, touching all our hearts.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Thank you Bill, for this great moving video. My love and blessings to Credo and Africa!
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Thanks for this Bill. This man's words have to be shared like a precious treasure that only multiply when given. Credo's talk are at another level.
I am very happy to see many people here on Avalon discovering this great man, a real shaman, not a charlatan. Now, sharing is secrets and risking high in doing that so.
Namaste, Steven
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
The native africans aren't the only ones that have had this done to them.... The Australian Aboriginals, for one, have also been decimated. In fact, it saddens me that a race that is/was so close to the land it inhabits has lost that connection so completely for the most part...
We anglo-saxans should be absolutely ashamed at what has become of many of our native peoples...
At the risk of going wildly off-topic, do any of you know of any native Aboriginal shamans who have come forward and spoken? I'd love to hear what they say, and perhaps even compare it to Credo's words....
Surely you'd think there'd be strong similarities...
A soul as pure as Credo's could never go to hell..... I understand how downtrodden he must feel but he's accomplished more than he could ever know.....
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Thank you Bill and Credo Mutwa! Amazing and passionate, this video. What a deep sorrow to carry in Credo's soul and what light and love in his big heart! Bless him, I was moved to tears by his saying "before my eyes finally close in death" May the angels carry him lightly to the Heavens.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Credo will never die.
There's a story around that Princess Diana called an African Shaman from a phone box sometime in the final weeks of her life. I've since assumed that it was Credo that she called. Does anyone here happen to know if that story is true, and if was true, that it was Credo that she spoke to from that phone box?
I'm nearly in blub mode thinking about it.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Dear Bill
That was a fantastically moving erudite off-the-cuff speech by this amazing human being, I feel absolutely privileged to have seen his message and been humbled by his presence. Like many Avalonians I am so looking forward to further videos of this great man.
Love and peace to you. JP :cool:
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Awesome video bill, thank you so much for sharing and that song at the end was just the best choice !!Some of the best lyrics pink floyd ever done.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Thanks truthseekerdan.
Naturally I am a fan of Credo but your video clip stimulated all sorts of memories. That Toto number was one of my favourites when it was first issued as a single but I never paid attention to the actual words for some reason - the video clip leaves you with no option not to!
I was born and spent the innocent years of my childhood very near to where Credo was born and understand Zulu temperament better than I do that of English people! The song reminds me of the innocent presumptions of my childhood so brutally disrupted as I grew up in the UK.
I fervently hope Credo gets his wish.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Thank-you, Bill! Credo's message truely leaves me speachless... so, much to do, so much to un-do, so much to heal...
Bless you, Credo! Bless Africa! My heart is reaching out to you; may my prayers unite with everyone elses.

This is correct: Credo told us the story on record.
Diana phoned from a public phone in Marks and Spencers (a major UK department store). Credo talked to her just the once.
She was enigmatic and guarded, and Credo never did quite understand what she wanted to tell him or ask him. It was shortly before her death in the car crash in Paris.

It is interesting even the fact that someone like Diana knew about Credo Mutwa. I guess she saw the old video where David Icke interviews him (I should check the release date). This suggests she was interested in the research about reptilians... and that is significant IMO.
Re: Credo Mutwa : Before my eyes close in death
Bill thanks for this video, Credo's heart of courage is just simply incredible. Few have the courage to speak with such conviction.
A rare but very important moment of reflection, the words echo throughout the world with a haunting spark of truth that cannot be denied. The memory of this man will live on till infinity.
Long live Credo Mutwa.
