Sangoma and iNyanga - traditional healers of Swaziland
Three learner “tangoma”, their hair in ochred “siyendle” style, during a ceremony where the “emadloti” (ancestral spirits) speak through them. Snapping their fingers they say “thokoza”, the ritual greeting between the spirits and the people in the “indumba”, the hut where the ceremony is held.
