INYANGA’S INDUMBA BURNT WITH E10 000 MUTI, BONES

SITEKI – A female inyanga has been left compromised after her consultation room was burnt to ashes and muti worth over E10 000 was destroyed.

The consultation room (indumba) is one of four houses that have been gutted by fire at popular traditional healer, Siphiwe Maziya’s homestead.This has had adverse implications to Maziya’s traditional healing practice, following that all her traditional medicine and other equipment were burnt.

According to Maziya, the traditional medicine that was burnt is worth over E10 000.
She said the fire also burnt tinhlolo, the ‘bones’ which are used by traditional healers to make predictions or to uncover the cause(s) of certain things. She revealed that these bones cost not less than E3 000.

“The burning of the indumba crippled me because I’m now struggling to work efficiently as I am not fully equipped,” she stated.
She said the destroying of the indumba was an indication that the burning of houses at her homestead was deliberate and was aimed at sabotaging her.

However, despite the burning of the indumba Maziya continues to attend to clients.
She now uses another house (rondavel) as a consultation room.

While she was showing this reporter around the houses which were gutted by fire, people were seen arriving to seek her services.
What was noted is that the traditional healer’s homestead has been destroyed within a space of four months.

The damage that has been caused by the fire, since the first house was burnt in December last year, is estimated to be over E200 000.
