Zimbabwean philosopher Joshua Maponga is trending on social media after pictures of him in the wilderness went viral.
Social media is abuzz with reactions as his pictures in the wilderness circulate on the internet.
Joshua Maponga is reportedly now living in the wild to reconnect with his ancestors.
Joshua Maponga, who allegedly abandoned Christianity several years ago, has embarked on a journey to reconnect with Mother Earth.
He describes this as a healing process aimed at rediscovering our ancestral roots and revitalizing cultural connections.
Posting several pictures of himself in the wilderness, including some dwelling inside a cave, Joshua Maponga remarked that there is healing in the silence of nature.

He revealed that this has become his new church.
“There is healing in the silence of nature. Take time to experience nature. Listen to the rocks and birds. Take off your shoes and walk on the ground. No need for a pilgrimage to Mecca or ISRAEL or Nigeria. Go to the sanctuary of nature and renew your soul… This is my new church.”
Pictures of Joshua Maponga in the wild have set social media abuzz with a flurry of reactions.
On the other hand, others argue that he is simply creating content and seeking attention.
Here are some of the reactions;

He is now possessed by the spirit of a baboon now living in the caves and mountains eating wild berries and roots.
