have called on the government to categorise them as an essential service under the state of disaster regulations. They are currently banned from performing ancestral rituals as a measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
“We can’t perform our rituals because we were instructed not to do so. We are not able to consult with our patients. We are supposed to chant and dance to ancestral tunes, but we cannot. We are afraid of police humiliation for instance here I am treating a number of people and I have been forced to send them back home as sick as they are, they are sick and I cannot help them,” says Sakhela.
The KwaZulu-Natal Traditional Healers Council has warned against traditional healers that claim to be able to cure coronavirus .The Organisation of Traditional Healers in KwaZulu-Natal is concerned that fraudsters may take advantage of the COVID-19 outbreak by claiming to be able to heal the virus.He says, “In this country, we have got a lot of charlatans. But I know also that there are people that are going to claim to be healing coronavirus.
Trend: The word medicine is a western term. Therefore the is no such thing as non-western medicine because by using this term, you're acknowledging that we're using the western way of analysing what something is or isn't. day18oflockdown
a big NO...if they want to help, they should do something else...all religious services are required to remain closed...
These is madness some of us we don't believe in such. The government is better open up the church so that we can buy anointing oil
Here is something that might interest you kemopedy...
Yes we need everything now. They must be given a fair chance to consult ancestors to find the Cure for COVID19. CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA KhuselaS sabcnews Covid_19
Hahaha what's next
They should be categorised as essential services. Government must do the right thing here!
Because relationships are trembling because they can go to fetch the muti, devorce rate will increase after lockdown, the hubby will be a real monster after discovering that his family is still staying in shack but he earns 80k per month
Do they pay tax?
dudufatso
But they are essentials just like Dischem;Clicks and Link Pharmacy.
CyrilRamaphosa please baba
I support them 100%.
The government mustn't rely only on China, UK, U.S. we must also try our traditional healers and churches during this killer decease we can't fail before we try, who knows maybe 1 of them can come up with something .please I'm begging you give them a chance MR PRESIDENT
Let them offer their services online
Yes they are essential and need to be sponsored with sanitizers and maskz so they continue working they are health care workers too.
Respect traditional healing. Those who don’t know how it works always despises it. Western medicines have more defects than effects. African doctors should also be consulted to find a vaccine for corona virus.
kgante this term healers wht does it mean?Its an essential service.. Bt ke western medicine hs always taken priority over us
Iyho
Are they not?🤷🏾♂️ Why would they be excluded; I don’t think the are excluded, they just don’t know they’re included.
I think our president must delegate some of his duties to General Bheki Cele the Minister of Police and the president must announce that to the national television and Mr. Cele must act accordingly and deal with this request decisively I know he will not disappoint.
Why is SABCnesOnline televising pope's program ?
But they are essential service
Elliot95910728 What essential services will they provide vele?
no
I am fully behind them. If you wanna kill COVID19, don't exclude traditional healers, prophets and all those with special gifts of healing.
I stan 🙌🏿
Why not vele? When are we going to stop this disrespect towards our traditional healers?
Camagu g_magingxa
Rightfully so. They're doctors
COVID19SouthAfrica shimza01 Ndlozi LockdownSAExtended Can someone please explain why the SANDF killed this man who was found drinking a beer in his house? Even if he broke the lockdown rules and regulations did he deserve to die?
If Churches ask to open as some people believe in prayer more than hospitals or doctors. Will we open them? Not everyone can be accommodated people.
But they can't cure anything, only good at lightnings, and muti killings...
Yes! If the chemists are essential services so should they be!!
Even those selling herbs in the streets
Very true . That’s an essential service . Sesifuna imbiza
Every service is essential to its consumers. If they regard them that will be as good as suspending the lockdown because churches will follow
They are Doctors too
abalaphi bendabuko which qualify them to be essential worker's....
They are indeed thina sikholelwa kwizinyanya for uphila ai ko Go Deeper Papa
We're cursed as a country because of them, they must sit down.
I'm surprised their not classified essential service because almost all cabinet members are sneaking into the domba every day for protection.
People are trying all to collapse this lockdown. What stops all churches to open and pray to people for healing in small groups after this? Then everyone will be roaming around again going for grocery, their traditional healer or pastor.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In support we want our Mhlonyane and Impepho. We dont want western Panados
Yes that is the only work they do
Since when are Traditiinal leaders deemed an 'Essential Service'? LockdownSA C_19
Yes they are essential services
Europeanised Africans are a disgrace, we talk of African traditional medicine they mention witchcraft, MEDICINE, Asia today is the best in medicine because they didn't look down on their traditional medicine ,, ohhhh what a shame, Africa.
To buy mooti
Traditional healer's services are essential they should be categorised as such
Not now the country is in big shit coronavirus
ali_naka They are doctors too
ali_naka I think so, only psychologically . They must establish online service.
ali_naka Some of us resort to them for medicinal purposes and spiritual healing
100% True
actually they are essentials services they have their clients they have people whom they are treating I'm not talking about one day thing but people who needs an ongoing treatment and attention so I say they should be treated as they are 'essential services'
So they will have traditional hand sanitizer there?
If you classify them as essential then they will start to perform their ancestral rituals, the next thing the churches will also want to open and perform their own retuals. No,no🔒
rubbish let them stay locked down essential se kak
Traditional healers are doctors obviously they are providing essential services to our people, why did the government outline them 🤔❤️
It's about time for such a move
Yes, they are essential like Pharmacy , kufuneka ngabe bavulile nabo
Should have been made essential from the beginning.
Then We might as well recognize church as essential
No.Traditional medicine does not cure coronavirus. Just misleading people like they did with the AIDS pandemic. Stay at home.
We dont know our Roots an traditions that is why we found young boys using words like 'sies' . The same bible we're reading it acknowledges tradition an Customs that why it even speaks pf ' Lebollo' .
We're essential even though our government doesn't respect our custom an Heritage site that we need always those land are privately owned.
One day we will all grow up and realise there's no such thing as Western, Eastern, African medicine. There's medicine which works & medicine which doesn't. The labelling is our racist BS as I doubt very much if the compounds in these plants know that they are Western of African.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Aybo bathin abogogo manje. Vuman booo
then everyone will raise hand and say i am also essential..then what🙄
I am for this❤️
Madness
They have done nothing thus far
Traditional healers are essential services to those who use their services, just as churches are essential services to us Christians.
Bonke abantu abarepresenter inkolo yakwantu abahoywanga kwelilizwe lethu, kanti ke babaluleke njengamntu wonke. Sanufuna ukwatisa amadlozi please!😧
Kante what contribution does the house of tradional healers make cause they were consulted?
Mnximmmmmm
I think they deserve to fall under essential services due to fact that they always help people with traditional medicine to cure different disease...hence they are there to save lives too
They aren’t? There people who prefer to consult traditional healers uma begula. That we’re dealing with the epidemic doesn’t mean abantu abaguli ngezinye izifo. Doesn’t make sense.
And that's true. They indeed essential. CyrilRamaphosa you never gave them a chance and it's unfair. There's no difference between them and pharmacies but because they doing things the indigenous way, they are regarded as non-essential. You need to stop😏
Vele
They shouldn't even have to ask!
I'm waiting for the prophets to follow suit
They should have been shut down 25 years ago
Lmao, I like how everyone desperately wants to feel important in this time... Hauweng!!
They should I urgently need impepho, chitibhunga, umhlabelo omnyama, umaguqo nomdlulandlela I can't get those at Dischem. There was no reason they were not categorized as essential services in the first place honestly you'd swear we're not led by a Black government.
Yah good
Traditional healers are indeed essential workers, not every citizen uses western medicine. Some still uses traditional medicine, the lockdown regulations must not have eyes and be bias to certain practices while overlooking others.
If FP can consult then so can Abahlekazi they can help with screening and health promotion get a stipend... They want to be useful that's all
Camagu
If you categorise traditional healers as 'essential services' please let churches to operate for their Spiritual services coz not all of us believe in traditional healers ✍️... because they have the same Vision - to heal the world.
That’s not even questionable, actually the department of health must work with traditional healers to fight corona virus 🦠
Well you don’t need to be smart to realize that they are essential.
Iam also failing to understand properly,may be this time i will be helped.
So is church , it forms part of essential services not for mass meeting but to help and give words of hope to the world.
Providing natural hand sanitizers I think
Sizathakathwa legally manje
How are they essential? I feel if they can justify it and show how, then gov need to consider
The Government shoul've allowed the healers to practise ,if Medical Doctors are allowed to operate, why can't be the same to traditional leaders Remember they both issue out sick notes.
KhofuMoahloli Mos in GP traditional healers are still operating.🙄🙄🙄
Thought they are coming out with a vaccine. We need to hear them as to how far they are working on a vaccine.
we cant access medicine to keep our relationships in line
KhofuMoahloli kweeeu nkosiyam!
Feeding hungry children is an essential service
Iyabanda!! Icecold,yhoo!
Some traditional healers they have practice certificates, so it's obvious they're essential services
I need the powder of someones left testicle sprinkled over my shoulder because my girlfriend is about to leave me. How is this not essential?
Traditional healers using the sanitizers says a lot.
Did they find a cure?
'employment' is also essential.
Its the stomach talking.
Why they were not categorise as such in the first place
Everything and everybody is essential. People are just asking for the lockdown to end that's it
Lol this made my night lol good one
😅😀
The GovernmentZA under MYANC has no powers to do so as it is led by Apartheid criminals who doesn't care about Africans but they want Africans to enrich them but not Africans to participate in the economy bacause the wealth of SA is being Monopolized to serve only Whites 👍
Badakwe amayeza esintu ..
Because they would find a 'cure' and kill thousands.
Suddenly everything is now essential, Sies
I thought they doing it to heal the people not for money .. Kanti!👀
Yeah I think it's within their rights since Tradition is recognised in the SA Constitution
Mane muzuma haiba kamulitusisi iñanga
🤣🤣🤣
I said it long before.I was discussing it with my friend Dr.Math who is also nka di latlha.
They're essential indeed, CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA made a biggest mistake by not giving them a permit to operate.
Buy they fall under essential services because they provide traditional medication
Imagine
And why not vele? People take traditional medicines for treatments.
