Ntsikana is known to be the first gnostic to denounce religious conformity by throwing his blanket on the ground in a traditional communion (in a kraal) about dead Kings, where he said, “Let the Dirt Bury The Dead”, believing that the past is non-existent. In contemporary times, with traditional churches, he is most often likened to Jesus Christ.
