I'm inspired by animals like snakes and hyenas: White Sangoma reveals
PEOPLE come from all over to be healed by sangoma Leona Swanepoel.
"Respect your ancestors!" the sangoma warns her patients.
She is known as Mmamarapelo and lives in Matlapeng, in the mountains of North West, on a piece of land she says is sacred. Mmamarapelo said her journey began when she was still young.
"My family are all Christians and I was a full member of the Catholic Church. At one time I owned modelling agencies in Cape Town and Joburg, but I left all that for my calling," she said.
