Briefly News journalist Jessica Gcaba spoke with a sangoma, Gogo Shozi, who stated that the initiation process is a sacred one and should be handled with the utmost care and sensitivity.

"There is nothing wrong with posting videos from the welcoming ceremony, because this is usually the final stage of the entire process. Many things should not be spoken about as they are sacred. However, the celebration that follows is totally valid," she said.

On the comment from a social media user who said tattoos are not part of the sangoma culture, Shozi said that some ancestors will communicate with the person what they want and what they do not like. "If isthunywa sakhe is against tattoos, then they will most likely tell him to remove it. If they are fine with it and they feel as though it does not affect his work, then they will not have a problem with it."

SA reacts to Vusi Nova becoming a sangoma

Shortly after it was revealed that Vusi Nova had become a sangoma on social media, many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions. Here's what they had to say below:

@amethyst_mandy said:

"They either turn into Sangomas or born-again Christians. These celebrities have become too predictable."

@RealMadamCoco wrote:

"I hope he considered having a relationship with God. It has a way of making you revived and reformed. Maybe it didn’t work."

@TMukhovha28613 commented:

"Every sangoma is a celebrity lol. When we grew up, it was not easy to find a sangoma roaming around the street, and also to know if someone was undergoing initiations. Being a sangoma was regarded as a full-time job, to heal people spiritually and on different ailments."

@Mntungwa123 responded:

"If you dig deeper...you'll find out that all our talented African singers have somewhat of a spiritual calling in the background. Singing is a spiritual thing that touches and heals other people in the way of spiritual energy."

"A tattoo is not our culture. You can go argue with your uncles. This video perfectly shows a sign of confusion. That's what happens when you try many things in life, with no standards, no direction. And this is a Gospel song, why didn't he just go to church?"

@BHERE41 mentioned:

"The fact that they praise God as long as we know he exists, then we know he will judge us on his own, not any human being...ukuthwasa is a Xhosa word of spiritual initiation, just like it, these people still believe in God, Vusi is anointed in music because it's inside."
