Controversial philosopher Joshua Maponga has once again taken social media by storm. Recent pictures showing him living in caves have gone viral, sparking a flurry of reactions online. Maponga claims that his move to the wild is an attempt to reconnect with his ancestors, but the internet remains divided on his true motives.
While some social media users have expressed concern over Maponga’s well-being, speculating that financial difficulties might have driven him to this lifestyle, others have suggested more controversial reasons. One user commented, “Joshua Maponga probably doesn’t have money to pay rent; he took an easy way out.” Another suggested that he might be under the influence of dr_gs, while others questioned the authenticity of his new lifestyle. “Who’s taking his pictures?” one user asked. “His phone always has a battery, and he takes clear pictures. This is just for content.”

Not all responses were critical. Some users defended Maponga, pointing out a potential double standard in the way such actions are perceived based on race. “When white people go into the mountains and caves, it is seen as an adventure, but when Africans do it, it’s called madness,” one user noted. Another supporter added, “We stand with the brother in these difficult times, even if he can’t afford money for soap.”
The debate continues as Joshua Maponga remains in the mountains, leaving the public to speculate about his true intentions and the symbolism behind his actions.
