Inkosi Nsizwa Mahlangu calling all traditional healers
He added to say that he was doing this as a chairman of Amakhosi in the urban areas.
After a call was made by Inkosi Nsizwa Mahlangu of all the traditional healers, they heeded the call and attended the meeting which was held at Hlalanikahle Community Hall.
The meeting was held on Saturday, March 3.
The call came after the kidnapping and murder of the Shabani children and one of the suspects in the case is a sangoma, Thokozani Msibi aged 32, who has already appeared at the same court.
The police managed to locate the lifeless bodies of the two children, one in Cullinan and the other along the N4 Highway.
According to Inkosi Mahlangu, over 100 traditional healers attended the meeting and the aim was to register all of them and have them on a database.
It was also found that some of the traditional healers do not have the necessary certificates to practice as required by law and that some of them are from the neighbouring states like Swaziland, Mozambique and other countries.
“I have taken a decision that all of them must register before March 15 as the deadline. A workshop has also been organised for them on March 31 to issue them with permits. These permits will be renewable annually and those who do not have permits will be stopped from practising as traditional healers. I will also involve the South African Council of Traditional Healers to assist with the issuing of permits,” stated Inkosi Mahlangu.
Inkosi Mahlangu said the traditional healers are welcome to register at his place at 1009 Hlalanikahle Extension 3.
He added to say that he was doing this as a chairman of Amakhosi in the urban areas.
He also thanked members of the CPF and Neighbourhood Watch and the ward councillor Msibi for their role in organising the meeting.
