"Literally my mom. She has accepted, went back to sniffing snuff, wa phahla but nothing is working out. She lost immense weight, she's just hanging to dear life but nothing is working out. The pain of having to see her go through this is heartbreaking."

In a contrasting piece involving traditional healers, Briefly News reported that Paballo, not to be mistaken with Pablo (Picasso), was happy to give a healthy report on the year that was.
Her post was one of many that cropped up on Twitter showcasing tweeps' graduations after successfully completing their tertiary studies.
But what made this particular stunner's social media post unique is not only the academic milestone she's checked but the fact that it was accompanied by another graduation, that of becoming a traditional healer or a sangoma – ukuthwasa.
It is the process or period during which an initiate studying to be a diviner or traditional doctor develops the powers of a medium. Heading online using her @PabieP_ handle, she wrote:
""This year's greatest achievements."
