African traditionalists believe that there is only one Supreme God (Mbiti 1986:40–43). In spite of their view about God, they also believe in ancestral spirits, with the belief that they are all intertwined and are in constant relationship with living beings.
These spirits demand worship and are said to possess supernatural powers with which they punish or reward their worshippers (Sarpong 2002:95–97).
According to Mbiti, the African traditional view about God is influenced by factors such as geographical location, culture, language, social and political factors.
He further states that the indigenous names of God are always present in the worldviews of African people and have been passed down through generations by oral tradition.
In his conclusion, he emphasised that there is therefore, no place for atheism or denial of God's existence in traditional African communities and that Africans are ontologically attached to God.
In African traditional practitioners’ understanding, God is for everyone everywhere (Mbiti 2012:6–15).
However, God does his work through ancestral spirits and diviners (Chavunduka 1999). This implies that God is the healer but works through mediums such as spirits, herbs and deities with the assistance of diviners or traditional healers (Obinna 2012:135).
