Religion plays a foundational role in shaping social constructs, influencing values, norms, and institutional arrangements. Social constructs—such as gender roles, kinship, morality, and authority—are often given legitimacy and coherence through religious beliefs and practices. In African contexts, both indigenous belief systems and introduced religions like Christianity and Islam have been pivotal in defining social identities and expectations. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Anglican Church Priest, Academic and Sociologist of Religion, Paul Germond and Dean and Head of the school of religion, philosophy and classics at the University of KwaZulu Natal, Prof. Simangaliso Kumalo.
