South African musician Nathi Mankayi revealed that God does not answer to black people’s prayers in a recent podcast interview with David Mashabela.
To back up his argument, one of the examples he made was that God does not answer black people’s prayers because black people pray in English instead of vernacular when engaging in spiritual matters.
“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,” he said on the podcast.
The musician also has plans to get back into the music scene, he has a live show coming up in Cape Town. The star also recently spoke with TshisaLIVE and revealed he plans to work with Makhadzi.
“I left the company I was with and I’m independent now. That’s why things are not the same as before. I got into the music industry not knowing anything and wanting to learn. I’ve learnt how the industry works and I’m a businessman now. I’m under Mangai Media and I’ve partnered with Open Mic and Gallo,” he told the publication.
“I think the time is right for me to release music because people have missed my music. With all that I’ve been through, I want to let my fans in on what I’ve been through.
“My first album I was introducing myself, the second album was about showcasing my talent, and with this album I want people to know what I’ve been through in the music industry,” he added.
