I received news last year - 2005 - that Credo Mutwa had died. Apprarently this was published in South African Press. This would need to be verified.

I don't think he's dead - everyone in the country would have heard about it. I haven't heard anything like that! Was it last year or the year before when he (reportedly) claimed that he had been abducted by aliens? This article looks good, so far... Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 22:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Someone told me that he was stabbed to death after revealing that Cecil Rhode's has a living descendant named David Rhodes (aka Fantana) of Britain. ~~ A Muslim ~~ 74.181.32.91 (talk) 02:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I saw/heard him at a talk in Cape Town in 2007. Wizzy…☎ 09:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Credo Mutwa and Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa

Nothing new on that page. Just redirect to this. Wizzy…☎ 12:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

There is no place named "Natal" in South Africa and the guy's not a "witchdoctor". I actually think that the article should be deleted and this article should be moved there, since his first name is important (and Credo Mutwa would redirect to there). Good idea? Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 13:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Fine by me. Wizzy…☎ 14:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

So who'll do the deleting? Or do we need to VfD AfD MfD StD it? Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 14:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It needs an admin to :-
  1. remove Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa
  2. move this page there.

That would preserve the history of this page. OTOH, we could :-

  1. edit Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa to redirect here.

The second does not need admin privs, and leave the primary page as Credo Mutwa. (but it wouldn't be hard to find an admin). It is basically about which history we want to preserve, which would be this history. Wizzy…☎ 14:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree about the history, but I think the title with his first name is more appropriate. Yes? Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 15:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Merged. I copied and pasted the article text to this location. The history is available here. I moved the talk page without copying and pasting, so the talk history is available through the usual history link on the talk page. Zaian 11:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Zaian. Who needs article histories anyway? But some people might complain (not likely in this case)... Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 12:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone agree with me that this page should address Credo's claimed experiences with the chitauli? A good interview is here:http://www.metatech.org/credo_mutwa.html
