Your Life Reflected
If you've been reading this site for more than a week, you can guess which newspaper this article comes from.
A sangoma [a traditional healer, or a kind of witch doctor] claims she has a magic mirror that gives her clients solutions to their problems.
Abigail Giwu also uses the magic mirror to examine people's illnesses, she says.
Giwu has used the mirror for the past 25 years to help residents recover belongings and trace crime suspects.
Parliamentarians also run to her to get rid of witchcraft in their homes and workplaces, she says.
She says she can also find missing persons in her mirror.
Even the township cops have used her mirror to help solve criminal cases.
But the most popular clients these days are those who play the Lotto.
They visit her to learn what numbers will be drawn on a particular Lotto draw date.
The 66-year-old sangoma is a mother of six and is originally from the Eastern Cape.
She says she started her unique business in 1979 after she got the calling from her ancestors.
Abigail is also a registered member of the Western Cape Traditional Doctors and Herbalists Association.
And she charges R250 [about $40] for a consultation...
But Abigail says she does not help those with evil motives, like murderers.
"If a murderer comes to my home, I will get bad feelings before the peerson enters," she says.
"I will immediately instruct him or her to leave."...
As a bonus, I give you the best headline from last week. It's referring to the sprouting plants that grow near some of the settlements around Cape Town, which shield people who are robbing passersby. It is NOT a reference to the current president of the United States. Not this time, anyway.
