A playwright, poet, educator, Zakes Mda, the author of the award-winning novel "The Night of Death" (1995), is an important member of posterity writers. The red heart that red represents traditional South Africa is a multi-generation legend. The title reflects Joseph Conrad's "Darkness of the Darkness" and often challenged by the characteristics and images of African writers. As Mda's novel in Qolorha depicts a lot of highly complex intertwined family relationships, the authors included a lineage of Xikixa, a descendant of headless ancestry, from the beginning. Author's devotion recognizes the reinventment of Qolorha's life and acknowledges the work of historian JB Peires in "killing cows".

Looking at African religions one by one, Sub-Saharan Africa is generally divided into West Africa, East Africa and South Africa. West Africa occupies about a fifth of the continent, but with a population of over 120 million, accounting for half of the Africa's population. It extends from Senegal to Nigeria along the Atlantic coast and then extends down the Guinea bay. As West Africa has a long tradition of trade with Europeans and Muslims in North Africa, we are in great contact with the history of West Africa. Therefore, one of the things we have to do in this survey is to focus on ATR, the role of traditional African religion in Nigerian practice.
