Ukunyamezela yinkunzi: Exploring the perspectives of God in relation to our daily bread
Résumé
Multiple interpretations of Matthew 6:11 have arisen among biblical scholars. This article aims to delve into the understanding of God in relation to the concept of ‘our daily bread’ as perceived by black women in the townships of Cape Town. Through the utilisation of indigenous storytelling methodology, this study will not only address the question of how the concept of ‘our daily bread’ contributes to the oppression of black women but also juxtapose it with the broader discourse surrounding the concept, Ukunyamezela yinkunzi (loosely translates to ‘perseverance is the key’). Furthermore, the indigenous storytelling methodology will uncover the nuanced experiences of black women concerning their perceptions of God within the context of their everyday lives. Contribution: This article contributes to the literature on African studies by highlighting the experiences and indigenous connections of black women. It offers a close cultural reading of the text, providing deeper insights into their unique experiences and traditions.
