  Beliefs
  The Creator and the ancestors
  Similar to some other Bantu religions, Adherents of Zulu traditional religion believe in honoring ancestors (Amadlozi). Unkulunkulu is the highest god and is the creator of humanity.
  UmkhuluwoMkhulu  ("the greatest one") was created in Uhlanga, a huge swamp of reeds, before he came to Earth.  Individuals base their morality or behavior ethics on his judgment or “apprehension of the Ultimate Reality.”
  Unkulunkulu is sometimes conflated with the sky god Umvelinqangi (meaning "he who was in the very beginning"), the god of thunder, earthquake whose other name is Unsondo, and is the son of Unkulunkulu, the Father, and Nomkhubulwane, the Mother.
