UMVELINQANGI

Zulu and Xhosa Creator God

Creator God heavily involved in the Thunder and Earthquake industry

He came down to Earth one day and it was love at first sight — he had never seen such a beautiful swamp. So he married the Marsh Goddess Uthlanga and the two of them lived in bliss.

The subsequent formation of primeval reeds resulted in the birth of Top God Unkulunkulu.
