Summary |
Shrouded in myth and protected by the ancient secrets of their ancestors, the African Traditional Healer (Sangoma) has always been a controversial subject in South African society, where the modern meets the ancient and where AIDS is feared by all. Little is known about the healing powers they possess, their cunning knowledge of illness and disease and the rituals an initiate has to undergo. We go to the Northern Province of South Africa to follow an Ithwasane( initiate) as she undergoes the process of becoming a fully fledged African Traditional Healer |
