“No she’s not dramatic, we’ve always done this. I grew up going to my grandfather’s grave every Sunday to pour whiskey in the soil because it was his favourite drink and it appeases him. That’s just one example, this is normal.”

“Aren't interactions with ancestors supposed to be kept private?”

“No, they are not. Africans hid their practices because the colonial regime outlawed African spirituality. Anyone caught practising could be hanged or jailed.”
Woman, 50, celebrates her birthday, Mzansi can’t believe her age: #ForeverYoung
Checking a related article, Briefly News published that a local woman has social media buzzing after heading online to celebrate her 50th birthday.
South Africans are convinced she must be drinking from the Fountain of Youth because the stunning lady definitely does not look her age.
Heading online, @tourist_ms penned the cute birthday message to herself.
"I would like to take this moment to wish my dear self a Happiest 50th Birthday... I would be lying to say I feel older, which I view as a blessing. 2020 reminded all of us yet again how short this life can be, 2021 is giving me lemons that I am turning to lemonade and adding vodka," she jokingly captioned the post.
