Bulelwa Hoala
South African Afro-pop singer Vusi Nova has confirmed that he has accepted his ancestral calling and is now officially igqirha, also known as a traditional healer or a sangoma.
The “A’sphelelanga” hitmaker posted moving pictures of himself on social media in traditional isiXhosa regalia for amagqirha.
In a separate post Vusi said, “Ndibuye namandla amatsha ekhaya…” which translates to “I came home with new energy..”
He also posted a video of himself singing at intlombe surrounded by his family. Intlombe is an IsiXhosa spiritual gathering used by amagqirha to communicate with ancestors. It involves song, dance, and chanting.
