Cutting once did a story called Umsila weMpisi “Tale of a hyena”. They consulted traditional healers who then confirmed that burning this tale near a person it will make that person sleepy. Cutting edge experimented with this on some of its staff, but it did not bring substantial evidence to support this myth. The Traditional healer that appear on TV and claim muti works while it not the case. This surely discredits their practices indeed.
I remember before Bafana went to France on Felicia’s show. A Sangoma called some Bafana players to come and blow to the bones. Jerry Sikhosana and some players did blow on the bones. The Sangoma claimed confidently that the bones say the squad will win the World Cup. The players and all the guest on the show laughed the man off.
