Zodwa Wabantu’s ex-boyfriend is now a Sangoma. Well, Zodwa Wabantu’s former boyfriend, Ntobeko Linda, has accepted his ancestral calling. Linda, who was known to be a photographer, revealed he is now a traditional healer just like the entertainer.
He shared a photo of himself wearing accessories that suggest he is a sangoma. The image caused a bit of a stir on social media, reminding people of Khanyi Mbau’s words about the urban sangomas.
“Urban sangomas. You do not have a calling. It’s anxiety. This is the most anxious generation. That’s why we have so many sangomas. Anxiety is wild. You will hear drums, I swear. Laugh it off. You are not alone. Just get magnesium and a bit of sun B12 and have sea moss.
That’s the only sea you need. I am not attacking you. Just saving you money. Stop buying cows, chickens, and goats. Instead of buying melatonin to help you sleep and to boost your serotonin so your mood is better. Magnesium tablets and lots of B12. You can be your healer,” she added.

Letoya Makhene became a sangoma at the age of 19 years after she graduated from an initiation school headed by the prominent Gogo Mulle.
