Zamalek "God" Giza (born 1 October 1983) is a South African creative intellectual, scholar, researcher, and content creator, born in Soweto, South Africa. He is acclaimed of royal lineage as a “Prince descendant waseLangeni, Zimu Zimu Ndlondlo yeZulu.” From a young age, he showed interest in African indigenous knowledge and spiritual systems. This background influenced his later commitment to decolonizing the African mind by reviving and reinterpreting traditional Bantu knowledge systems.

Between 2005 and 2007, Giza underwent a period of initiation and training in Mali under a teacher identified as Master Initiator Hogana Ogomulli. This initiation – described as part of the Order of Sirius and related to the Karanga tradition – is said to have bestowed upon him several traditional titles and roles. According to Giza, this sacred training, acknowledged within his community, qualified him as a Grandmaster of the Sigi, a Timekeeper, an Astronomer, a Priest, and a keeper of "knowledge of the Whale." His functions include serving as master of ceremonies for festivals hosted to sustain civilizations and maintain community and structural economies, as well as developing blueprints for predicting community shifts, forming kingdoms, statecraft, and the creation of organizations.

Giza’s work centers on decolonial intellectual projects that seek to reclaim African knowledge and traditional memory. He is the founder and leader of **Adane Satanye**, a South African institution dedicated to restoring ancient technologies and indigenous knowledge systems for modern application. Adane Satanye (a legally registered entity) functions as a research and educational platform incorporating various faculties – including psychology, geography, astrology, and Bantu science – into decolonial and transformative frameworks.

In his role as a cultural researcher and creative intellectual, Giza often performs the functions associated with his traditional titles. As a timekeeper and astronomer in the indigenous sense, he studies and teaches about African calendrical systems and cosmologies. As Grandmaster of the Sigi, he identifies as a custodian of Bantu secret knowledge (the Sigui rites) and broader African esoteric wisdom. He also serves as a spiritual priest, conducting teachings on ancestral veneration and rituals grounded in Bantu traditions. These roles inform his content creation and public lectures, where he blends historical, spiritual, and scientific perspectives.

Central to Zamalek Giza’s philosophy is the decolonization of the African mind. He argues that centuries of colonialism and Eurocentric education have severed African people from their indigenous knowledge and sense of identity. To counter this, Giza advocates a return to African indigenous knowledge systems, often highlighting what he terms **Bantu science** – the scientific and philosophical principles embedded in Bantu and other African cultures. This includes traditional cosmology, medicine, ecology, and metaphysics passed down through oral history and practice.

One notable aspect of Giza’s teachings is his focus on the star **Sirius** and its significance in African traditions. Citing Dogon and Zulu lore, he has propagated the idea that people of African descent have ancient connections to the Sirius star system. In his lectures, he explains myths such as the belief that the Black African race originated in the “Dog Star” system, Sirius. This ties into narratives popularized by African mystics like Baba Credo Mutwa, whom Giza often references as a source of inspiration.

Giza’s work blends such cosmological themes with calls for self-knowledge and pride in African heritage. He has spoken about topics ranging from African spirituality and the legacy of colonial religion to theories of human origins and extraterrestrial life, always through an Afrocentric, decolonial lens.

Through Adane Satanye, Giza and his team put these sciences into practice by developing programs that integrate indigenous knowledge with modern disciplines. They explore African psychological concepts alongside Western psychology, and indigenous astronomy alongside contemporary science education. The organization’s projects encourage communities to restore ancient technologies and adapt them for sustainability and empowerment in the present.

Zamalek Giza maintains an active public presence, primarily through digital media and community lectures. He shares his research and teachings on platforms such as Zoom, TikTok, and YouTube, where he delivers lectures and discussions for a broad audience. His content often takes the form of long-form talks on history, spirituality, and science from an African perspective.

For example, he was featured as a guest on DJ Sbu’s podcast *The Hustlers Corner SA*, where he discussed African spirituality, the legacy of colonialism, alien narratives, and figures like Credo Mutwa.

Giza’s YouTube videos and live presentations aim to make indigenous knowledge accessible to younger generations of Africans, blending academic insight with storytelling in both local languages and English. Clips of his talks on ancient history, indigenous science, and topics such as "reptilians" or "aura studies" have circulated on social media, contributing to his reputation as a provocative thinker.

While embraced by followers who see him as a voice of African renaissance, some of his more unorthodox claims – such as his royal lineage or cosmic origin theories – are based on community knowledge and oral tradition.
