Utixo or Tiqua was a god of theKhoi (the nativepastoralist people of Southwestern Africa).
Utixo was a benevolent deity who lived in the sky, sending rain for the crops, and speaking with thunder. Utixo is sometimes translated aswounded knee.
One story that has survived in Christian literature, was that Utixo sent a message to his people that death would not be eternal. He used a rabbit to carry the message. The rabbit became confused, reversed the message, and ended up telling men that they would not rise again.
Utixo was the word that missionaries used for translatingGod intoKhoikhoi. TheZulus call the GodUNkulunkulu, the Great One, and uMvelinqangi, the one was before all were.
