This past weekend on Sunday at 5AM we were honoured to be Hosted by uKhozi FM with Prof. VVO MKhize. Baba mkhize has done great work in research and has published books on umsamo issues. The programme was short though, wish i had more time to unpack more issues especially on "umuntu onjani okumele athwase, uthwasa sekunjani bese ethwasani". Ubunyanga needs to be professionalised to a certain degree. If a person undergoes initiation, and pays to be initiated then they should have certain rights and responsibilities as wel. I look forward to the day when we have a standard curiculum of what a thwasa needs to know, what learning areas need to be covered, what are ecpected outcomes of that initiation. Maybe ubaba umkhize angasisiza nabanye abelaphi ke isetshenzwe lendaba. After the show people started pouring ekhaya (without making an appointment lol) and most sadly, izangoma ezithi zathwasa zakhokha o R20000 but azikwazi ukubhula aziboni lutho, aziphuphi lutho, azazi ngisho ukuthakintelezi. Half of the traditional healers i consulted on sunday buy prepackaged herbs from emakethe and unreliable suppliers in order to sustain their practices. I was saddened, engabe kwakhala nyonini ngalobunyanga obugcwele ezweni.
