Community talks about healers’ posters
When walking on the streets, the dominant posters one sees are those of healers who claim to be able to make one win the lotto.

The electricity boxes and street lights are also covered with these posters.
They are not only found in the CBD but can also find them in the townships.
These posters contain information that convinces the public to visit a healer for good luck, enlargement of private parts and promises of wealth.
Traditional healer from Tsakane Extension Eight Baxolile Mtetwa said she does not believe the claims and promises contained in these posters.
She argues that, if these healers can make one win millions from the National Lottery, why do they not do the same for themselves?
“It is very strange that someone claims to be able to make one rich while he also struggles to make ends meet,” said Mtetwa.
She also wondered if the private parts enlargement can be reversed when the owner feels that the size is too big and wants his normal size back.
KwaThema resident Mthuthuzeli Nkosi said he does not like these posters.
“I have read many of these posters and ignore people who give them to me,” said Nkosi.
He said he is worried that these posters might encourage their children to seek assistance from the traditional healers who claim to have a solution to all these problems.
He believes what is written on these posters is not true and the individuals who claim to have healing powers rob the citizens of their hard earned money.
