MOURNERS came in large numbers to celebrate mama Jostina Sangweni’s life and bid her farewell.
Her funeral service was held at the Naledi Community Hall in Soweto on Saturday, 17 April.
Those in attendance were in high spirits to make it a day to remember.
Speaking at the service, Jostina’s cousin Thembi Xaba said people should always bear in mind that no one wakes up in the morning and decides to become a sangoma.
“If people knew and understood the pain that comes with the journey, they would stop associating it with ubuthakathi. By the time a person decides to honour their calling, their family has turned their backs on them. They are judged, sidelined, lose jobs and relationships, and are mostly loners but that’s not their doing,” said Thembi.
