Wayaziwa njengombhali wezincwadi ezisebenzisa izinganekwane zase-Afrika, izinganekwane zendabuko zamaZulu, zokuhlangana namankengane ayizimbulu kanye nobungcweti bakhe njengesanusi.

UCredo kwakuyi*sanusi* esinohlonze, okuwuhlobo lombhuli wesizwe samaZulu noma umngoma. Leli gama livela esikhathini esinomlando kakhulu futhi alisetshenziswa kabanzi namuhla, ngisho nasendaweni yendabuko.  

UCredo wayehlala nomkakhe uVirginia eKuruman, eNyakatho Kapa, lapho babenomtholampilo we-hospice khona. 

Uyise wayengumfelwa onezingane ezintathu ezisaphila lapho ehlangana nomama kaVusamazulu. Uyise wayengumakhi futhi engumKristu kanti unina wayeyintombazane encane engumZulu. Ephakathi kwempikiswano yezithunywa zevangeli zamaKatolika ngakolunye uhlangothi, kanye neqhawe elidala lamaZulu elinenkani, umkhulu kaCredo Mutwa ozala umama, abazali bakhe babengenakukhetha ngaphandle kokwehlukana. UCredo wazalwa ngaphandle komshado, okwabangela ihlazo elikhulu endaweni futhi unina waxoshwa nguyise. Kamuva, wathathwa ngomunye womalumekazi bakhe. 

Ngemva kwalokho wakhuliswa ngumfowabo kayise wayiswa ogwini oluseningizimu yeNatali (manje iKwaZulu-Natali ), eduze nogu olusenyakatho loMfula uMkomazi . Akazange aye esikoleni waze waba neminyaka eyi-14 ubudala. Ngo-1935, uyise wathola umsebenzi wokwakha esifundazweni sakudala saseTransvaal futhi wonke umndeni wathuthela lapho ayesebenza khona.

Ngemva kokugula kakhulu, wabuyiselwa KwaZulu-Natal ngumalume wakhe. Lapho imithi yesimanje yehlulekile khona, umkhulu wakhe, indoda uyise ayeyidelela njengomhedeni nomkhulekeli wamademoni, yamsiza ukuba abuyele empilweni. Kuleli qophelo, uCredo waqala ukuzibuza izinto eziningi ngalokho izithunywa zevangeli ezazifuna abantu bakubo bazikholelwe. "Ingabe thina ma-Afrika sasiwuhlanga lwabantu basendulo ababengenalo ulwazi nhlobo ngaphambi kokuba abamhlophe beze e-Afrika?" wazibuza. Umkhulu wakhe wafaka kuye inkolelo yokuthi ukugula kwakhe kwakuwubizo olungcwele lokuthi wayezoba yisangoma, umphilisi.

## Umuzi wamasiko Kwa-Khaya Lendaba

Ngowe-1974, uCredo wathola indawo esiqiwini sakwa -Oppenheimer eSoweto ukuze akhe umuzi wamasiko ase-Afrika ukuze kulondolozwe ifa lamasiko kanye nezimfundiso zakhe.  Wakha izindlu zendabuko ezime ngendlela yobuciko nezifanelo zokwakha ezivela kulo lonke elase-Afrika, kuyilapho abantu kanye nezichuse zezinganeko zaletha inganekwane, izinkolelo kanye namasiko ase-Afrika njengoba kubonakala ngombono wakhe wobuciko.  Ngaleso sikhathi, njengoba abantu bendawo babecwile ebuKristwini, babenokungabaza ngomuzi wamasiko. 

UCredo wayekholelwa ukuthi iziyaluyalu ezinkulu eGoli kanye nokuthandwa kobukhomanisi emzabalazweni wabantu abamnyama kwadonsela abantu base-Afrika kude nezimpande zabo zendabuko. Ngokungafani nezishoshovu eziningi zezombusazwe, empeleni wasekela ukuhlukaniswa phakathi kwabamhlophe nabamnyama ukuze kulondolozwe amasiko endabuko kanye nendlela yokuphila yabantu abamnyama.  Ngowe-1976, abafundi bashisa ingxenye yemuzi wamasiko ngemuva kokucashunwa kabi emsakazweni wesiBhunu, njengoba bebona umuzi wamasiko njengokhuthaza ubuzwe kanye nentuthuko ehlukile.   Izingxenye zomuzi wamasiko zaphinde zashiswa futhi maphakathi nawo-1980 ngesikhathi sombhikisho ngokumelene nomkhandlu wesidlavela saseWest Rand. 

Ngemva kokubulawa kwendodana yakhe “yizishoshovu” zezombusazwe ezimnyama kanye nokushiswa kwesibili komuzi wamasiko, uCredo wasuka eSoweto wayokwakha umuzi wezivakashi zamasiko eLotlamoreng, eMahikeng, (elaziwa ngaleso sikhathi ngokuthi iBophuthatswana ). Lapha waqondisa ukwakhiwa kwemizi emincane yamasiko, ngayinye imelela amasiko endabuko ezizwe eziyinhloko zaseNingizimu Afrika .
