Public FigureSouth Africanb. 1921

Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa (1921-2020) was a Zulu sangoma, author, and artist known for his accounts of Zulu cosmology. He founded the Kwa-Khaya Lendaba cultural village in 1975 and the Vulinda Trust in 1999. Mutwa's claims regarding HIV/AIDS treatments and his interpretations of Zulu traditions were met with controversy and academic rejection, though he received a USIBA award from the South African Department of Arts and Culture in 2018.
