Since the days when young individuals despised or feared their sangoma calling because of their age, there has been a significant improvement in the situation. There was a widespread misunderstanding that children and teenagers were ineligible to take part in the sangoma calling because of their age. The fact that they were still so young when they answered their calling made many of them feel embarrassed about themselves.
The term “sangomas” is frequently employed in a derogatory context. They were worried that they would be shunned by their peers if they obeyed the Calling. As a direct consequence of this, a growing number of individuals in the twenty-first century are heeding the call to become sangomas at an earlier age. The allure that sangoma employment holds for the youth of today is something that many adults fail to appreciate.
The sangoma way of life is gaining popularity among South African celebrities at an alarming rate. Sangoma status is no longer seen by young people in South Africa in the same light as when it was seen as potentially harmful or shameful. The general public can look up to celebrities as role models because celebrities can demonstrate to the public how to be proud of who they are.
It was a widely believed belief among those of the younger generation that sangoma calling was something that could only be experienced by those of advanced age due to a lack of knowledge or experience. On the other hand, this is no longer the case now. Some children put up a battle to avoid becoming icy witch doctors as they grew up, but in the end, they couldn’t escape their fate. Some of today’s youths feel uncomfortable when they are referred to be “Sangomas.” Because it is a common misconception that Sangomas do not follow the teachings of Christianity.
There are now two actresses in South Africa who have agreed to play the role of Sangoma for the skeemSaam production.
1. Eunice
In the past, Eunice was known as Oratile Maitisa; however, she has now responded to the call of the Sangoma. The young Sangoma woman who was speaking affirmed this, and she did so with a sense of pride.
2. Celia Kunutu.
Her given name is Celia Kunutu. The woman, whose birth name is Shoki Mmola, has chosen to become a Sangoma in order to continue the Sangoma tradition that has been passed down through her family. She responded to the questioning despite the fact that she was a well-known figure.
3. Emkay
Mlungisi Mathe is the correct spelling of his given name. In addition to that, he is a young sangoma working in the South African entertainment industry and is one of the actors working in South Africa who is a sangoma.
