“So, Christianity says, don’t worship ancestors and don’t consult sangomas. Kodwa the creator created the sangoma and gave him/her the gift. How sway? All of a sudden, every Tom, Dick, and Thandi is having a calling. I’m just gonna relax and watch the liars play themselves out. The ancestral lashing will be unavoidable. Jhb folk will bite anything, even sh*t that can’t be bitten or faked. Yonke into bafuna uyenza i-fashion,” which translates to “They want to make everything fashionable).”
