About
Makhosi Amakhulu!
Sangoma Diaries specialises in indigenous shamanic solutions using African Traditional Medicine (TM) and teaches about African Spirituality with the aim to heal and liberate holistically (mentally, spiritually and physically).
The company is a community of practice for women healers in KwaZulu Natal that seeks to create a space for knowledge sharing and professional support amongst many things.
Sangoma Diaries was founded in 2017, by Gogo Nomangungu ka Nomndindi, with the aim to structure her work which was growing rapidly and to build and develop a community of practice – with professional and standardised codes of conduct – for women healers who found themselves in her midst.
She has worked officially in the traditional medicine industry for 6 years since 2015, and unofficially for 6 more years, on weekends since 2009 at an African Independent Amazayoni church during her student days at Rhodes University in Makanda, in Cape Town and in Pietermaritzburg respectively.
