Mwari also known as Musikavanhu, Musiki, Tenzi and Ishe, is the supreme creator deity according to Shona traditional religion. It is believed that Mwari is the author of all things and all life and all is in him. The majority of this deity's followers are concentrated in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Mwari is an omnipotent being, who rules over spirits and is the Supreme God of the religion.
The same deity is applied and also referred to as Inkhosi in Northern and Southern Ndebele.[1] Mwari's reverence dates back to the age of the ancient king Monomotapa, of the Mutapa Kingdom on the Zambezi River.[2]
