An iNtfwasa graduation Ceremony in 1972 - Day 2

The initiates, who have been immersed in the river and “died” have now been carried back to the village where, to the sound of drums, they are rubbed under the nose with a “sizinga”, a special brush and they then suddenly sit up: “reborn” as a fully qualified “sangoma”.
