Thokazo 🙏🙏🙏 This is such an important message. I was studying a mentorship "under" izangoma last year and even though it wasn't even ukutwasa, it had similar problems to what you describe... there was a huge power imbalance and I felt compelled to do everything that my teachers were telling me to do, including spending money I didn't have on healing sessions I didn't ask for and imphepho which never arrived... :( When I objected or tried to set boundaries, I was chastised like a child.... I have significant childhood trauma and I am trained in mental health, so when I saw the signs of my trauma resurfacing due to parental-like attachments, with potential for abuse, I ended the mentorship. As you mentioned, there is lessons for all of us when these things happen... I did fall prey to this due to my own need for approval, and the whole thing gave me a chance to do deeper healing, so I am grateful in the end. Thokazo!
Thokoza Gogo does Sangoma recognize when one comes to them to initiate as Sangoma really needs to train as a royal traditional healer and then refer them to where they will get the proper help/training thus shows that they are operating under the guidance of the ancestors than their on greed

Have you seen that Sangoma who doesn’t femba send their thwasa to someone that does if they find that’s what’s needed
