She represents the present generation which is merged with western practices and traditional practices too.

The actress opened up in an interview with Daily Dun that she’s really thinking of taking up the task of being a Sangoma in real life.

She revealed that her own biological mother once trained to be one but did not graduate as she left to become a fully dedicated Christian.

“My mother went to train to become a sangoma. She graduated but left it all and became a Christian. Now, I’m paying the price,” Nelisiwe said.
