Welcome to "Sour Grapes: The Fruit Of Ignorance", Christina Engela's original activist (human rights, eco and animal rights) related articles from 2009 onward*.
Christina Engela lurks in Nelson Mandela Bay, a coastal metropolis known interchangeably as “the Detroit of South Africa”, “the Windy City” – or, as it was once famously described by a colorful radio DJ: “the armpit of South Africa”.
There, she lives in a part-time haunted Victorian, where her wife Kay and four happy kitties compete for her attention and distract her from writing, but for all the right reasons.
Her lifetime of oddly disturbing interests and diverse accumulated experiences have produced a large portfolio of over 40 books in fiction and nonfiction, two YouTube channels – and seven papers in the field of Religious Studies that influenced scholarly perceptions of Satanism and the “Satanic Panic” in South Africa. These resulted in her receiving Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) from the University of the Western Cape through the Desmond Tutu Center for Religion and Social Justice. In March 2025 Christina embarked on her Ph.D. journey. In spite of her scholarly achievements, her first love remains storytelling, and she looks forward to resuming that thread of her life once she has completed her studies.
