*
Born in a culture so strong in beliefs
We grew up very afraid of the dark
Something sinister was always lurking
The fight between good and evil affected us
-
Full of beliefs love finds you and you fall
You go to a healer first to give you Muti
Muti is a mixture of African herbs from a Sangoma (witch doctor) to resist evil
-
You're in love and you have proposed
The night of your stag party just before dawn wearing your wedding suit you go to your Sangoma for the ritual
-
You get cleanse and you are made strong
You drink from the cauldron of the witchdoctor, naked you sweat in its steam
The trust you have in the ritual is from the old belief that a Sangoma knows best
