It's a topic that sometimes divides friends and families.
How do you know if you have a calling or are simply ill?
Media personality and actress Khanyi Mbau has questions.
She addressed the matter on her social media, saying that sometimes, those who think they have a calling could be suffering from anxiety rather. She has since deleted the Instagram posts.
"This is the most anxious generation. That's why we have so many sangomas. Urban sangomas."
She says anxiety is serious, so much you'd swear you are called to dance to your ancestor's drum.
"Anxiety is wild! You will hear drums, I swear!! laugh it off. You aren't alone, just get magnesium and a bit of sun B12 and have sea moss. That's the only sea u need."
Khanyi says that she is not attacking anybody but rather dishing out tips about saving money.
"I am not attacking you. Just saving you money. Stop buying cows, chickens and goats. Instead of buying melatonin to help you sleep and to boost your serotonin so your mood is better. Magnesium tabs and lots of B12 you can be your own healer."
