"A SELF-PROCLAIMED sangoma"

When are the various (overpaid and underworked) organisations relating to traditional affairs going to start to regulate these charlatans?

While i understand her desperation, why go meet someone u've never met before, alone in the bushes at 5pm nogal. Why did she not have take along a neighbour or someone. There are no sangoma nowadays, only chancers.

Seabi said the man, who is in his late 30s, then told the woman to come with him to the mountains where he started collecting firewood. He made a fire because it was cold on top of the mountains.

"The man allegedly started raping the woman repeatedly throughout the whole night."

What kind of reporting is this??? You collect wood because it's cold then you start raping repeatedly for the whole night??? Where is the link of events in this part of reporting??? Sowetan is an @ss!!!

the issue is here how will the government be able to regulate such practices as traditional healing, I mean it’s a spiritual issue that transcend beyond the physical and only the "spiritual" realm can have authority over it in proclaiming if one is an authentic traditional healer or not.

In your knowledge and opinion; is there a rape victim who has ever enjoyed being raped? What manner of statement is the one above?

The age of the woman is not the point here at all; the point is that a human being has been raped!!! Your statement above leaves a lot to be desired.

The woman told us that the man advised her that the rituals would work when the two had undressed.

"She complied and the man started burning some chicken feathers, claiming they would help find the missing child," he said.

Usually i am all for women's issues, especially rape but something does not add up. Firstly you agree to meet with someone all on your own, you tag along to the bushes, and without making a noise take your clothes off and even wait for the guy to make a fire because of the cold? During all of this, you don't even attempt to run? How is it known how old he is? No man, this not sound convincing.

Any self respecting woman would not 'meet in the bushes' to find out about the missing child. The Sangoma has given a new meaning to ukuphahlela (I just cant stop laughing)

Sangomas are all crooks, its different with traditional healers, who I regard as African doctors. Sangomas are like Nigerians, criminals to the core. If anyone on this blog thinks that 'magic works' then they are as guilty as these crooks, who are constantly lying to our people about their so-called 'powers'. Its time the govt ban all sangoma criminals. They serve no purpose to our society only retrogression, and thieving
