The interesting part about it was when we take pictures and after we present about it, and share information including (knowledge) After I take pictures of the three traditional healers I asked them Sam questions.

 

When did they accept the calling of traditional healers. What happen for you to accept the calling. They said that it was on 1996 at  Mpumalanga. And for them to accept it was not easy, because to be a traditional healers is not you choice.
