“That Oil Might Be Working”: Man’s Bheka Mina Ngedwa Products Experiment Delights Mzansi

• A man's humorous experiment with traditional 'love attraction' items captured the attention of online audiences
• The individual's candid review, shared across TikTok, detailed his attempts to use specific products to draw a romantic interest
• Social media users reacted with amusement and playfully teased, eagerly awaiting the results of his special effort
• Briefly News spoke with local sangoma, Mkhulu Thobile, to hear his views about love attraction practices

A man's unconventional approach to finding love, involving products believed to attract romantic partners, became a source of amusement and intrigue on social media.

The engaging content, which was shared on TikTok by @_christrust, garnered widespread entertainment and lively commentary from viewers.

In the initial part of his video, the man presented two items he had been advised to try: a jar of pink-coloured salt, resembling traditional medicine, and a clear bottle of oil intended for moisturising the face and hands. He openly shared that he had been bathing with the salts, but to his disappointment, nothing had materialised, especially with his ex-partner. He mentioned that he had been told to give the products more time to work.

The love attraction mission continues

In the second part of his clip, the man once again displayed the products, reading out their names: "Bhekamina ngedwa" for the oil, and "Uthando" for the salts. He then explained that he had been using the items incorrectly. Instead of bathing with the salts, he was supposed to steam with them and then apply the oil. He also revealed an unusual instruction: he was to select five individuals and call out their names to test the products' effectiveness. Seated comfortably at home, he promised to provide an update on his progress in three to four weeks.

An insight into love attraction practices

The Briefly News team connected with Mkhulu Thobile, a respected local sangoma, to discuss a trending TikTok video where a man experimented with traditional love attraction items.

From his traditional understanding, we asked the sangoma what is the purpose of products such as Bhekamina ngedwa and Uthando. He responded:

"These products are meant to enhance a person's aura and attract positive energy in relationships. They aren't about forcing love, but about opening pathways and making one more appealing or noticeable to others."

We asked how important following precise instructions is when using traditional remedies for love or any other purpose.

"Following instructions precisely is extremely important. Traditional remedies work with specific energies and intentions. If you don't follow the proper method, be it steaming, bathing, or applying in a certain way, the desired results won't manifest, or you might even get unintended outcomes. It's about respecting the process.

When asked what the significance of calling out names in traditional practices, especially concerning love attraction, is. Mkhulu Thobile said:

"Calling out names in certain rituals signifies directing your intention and energy towards specific individuals. It's about focusing your spiritual aim. In love attraction, though, this isn't meant to manipulate someone; it's more about aligning your desire with the universe for a connection to form, assuming there's already a natural compatibility.
