Is that animism? And what about the ceremony after my Ndebele (Zim) sister's granny passed away - which my sis wouldn't turn up to in case she was the one chosen by the... ancestor(s?), as a voice or something? I'm trying to understand the animism article - but it's largely from 1911 Britannica, that fine authority on all things African :-( And I don't advise reading it yourself unless you want a stroke - it's particularly blood-pressure raising for a Mosotho...
