Mpho Wa Badimo celebrates the 7th anniversary of being a Sangoma. Taking to Instagram, the BBMzansi 2022 winner shared photos of herself dressed as a traditional healer.
She talked about the struggles encountered before accepting the calling.

“Today marks my seventh year anniversary edlozini and still on this journey and not even halfway. I will never exchange my gift for anything because I am because of my gift. Ngathwasa ngimcane and I went through initiation thinking I’m doing this just [for] my family, but I didn’t realise the reasons were bigger than me,” she said

“After I came back from initiation, I sunk into depression — angry at my ancestors for stealing my youth, trying to find myself and also heal from the abuse iphehlo brought because the journey to self-discovery is not easy. When it finally hit, I then humbled myself and accepted my gift and gave my ancestors permission to use me.“Today i carry my gift with grace and pride,and yes it isn’t as easy all the time kodwa angeke ngiyeke ukuhlabela abaphatsi ngoba ukuphila Kwami kusedlozin. I’m a Young woman navigating this life thing with a spiritual gift and slaying it one day at time. My Gift is my Spiritual Inheritance & My name will never be forgotten, I AM MPHOWABADIMO.
