SEBOKENG.- The Sangoma community is coming together for an exciting cultural celebration, the 1st Annual Izangoma Carnival Festival that will be held at the Saul Tsotetsi Sport Community Hall in Sebokeng this Saturday.

The event is said to be a unique gathering dedicated to unity, tradition, and giving back.

The event will bring together traditional healers, artists, musicians, dancers, and community leaders to celebrate African spirituality and heritage.

The organisers said that this is not just a festival – it’s a cause with a purpose.

“Proceeds and donations collected during the festival will go towards supporting local orphanages and vulnerable children. We hope to raise enough funds to provide clothing, food parcels, school supplies, and emotional support to those who need it most.”

The festival will feature:

• Traditional Performances – Cultural dances, drum circles, and healing rituals.
• Carnival Parade – A colourful procession celebrating the beauty of African tradition.
• Local Craft Market – Handmade items, beadwork, and cultural attire.
• Food & Music – Authentic African cuisine and live music performances.
• Donation Drive – Drop-off point for clothes, food, and school stationery.

This event is an opportunity to not only experience the spiritual richness of izangoma culture but also to make a difference in the lives of children in need.

“We are combining celebration with compassion. Our goal is to make this festival an annual tradition that uplifts the community and gives hope to those who need it most.”
