In this powerful episode, host Nii Okyne speaks with Lehlonhonolo Mofokeng Makara, a proud descendant of the Basotho people of Lesotho, born in Johannesburg but deeply rooted in ancestral memory. Through his story, we explore what it means to straddle two worlds—the modern urban life and the timeless rhythm of village tradition.
Lehlonhonolo shares:
🏔️ The significance of his forefathers from Lesotho and his great-grandfather, Makara
🏙️ Growing up in Johannesburg while holding onto village values and ancestral teachings
🪔 How early trips to the ancestral village sparked his spiritual awakening
🧭 The pivotal rites of passage guided by his father—from birth through manhood
🏡 The ancestral kraal as a sacred place of identity, instruction, and connection
🔥 How he began to view traditional systems not as outdated, but superior and restorative
🧠 His reflections on modern societal breakdowns and how ancestral wisdom offers healing and structure
This episode is a call to re-root, to remember that ancestral knowledge isn’t lost—it’s waiting. Lehlonhonolo’s journey will resonate with anyone navigating the tension between modern life and ancient ways, and who seeks a deeper spiritual and cultural homecoming.
