who are the custodians of folklore @ history? The witchdoctors???? or the Healers?? I think I would much prefer to listen to folktales and history from a village elder than a crazy witchdoctor!

I hear awful tales about the witchdoctors, and i certainly am not one to dabble with juju....NO WAY. There was that story in SA not that long ago about the serial rapist. When he was being sentenced in court he told the judge that he did what he did because he had visited a Sangoma who told him that he is experiencing strife in his life because he has a tokoloshe following him around. The sangoma told him that the only way to make his life better is to to what the tokoloshe says and he went off and did these awful things.

Then you hear about children going missing and people talk about their bones being used as muti!

Education is the key!!

But I do think there is a place for traditional healers........its good to hear alternative treatments to medical science sometimes...so long as you keep your wits about you.
