In my presentation I will analyse the calling, work and abilities of Southern African healers-diviners. Sangomas (South Africa, part of Botswana and Namibia), lethuelas (Lesotho) and some ng’angas (Zambia) are holistic healers and spiritual leaders, people who in spite of vast Christianisation of Southern Africa still play a pivotal role in the society. Many sangomas, lethuelas and ng'angas are part of global shamanism. They have the same duties, abilities and prerogatives as Siberian and other shamans in the world. They are also believed to be called for their profession by ancestral spirits. Their holistic treatment helps heal not only personal illnesses, but also overcomes family, clan and social differences, including colonial wounds. With their work they cross racial and social borders bringing people together. Vast majority of them belong to various Christian factions, not only syncretic African churches but also so-called “old churches” like e.g. Roman Catholic. They combine the teachings of the Bible with the belief in the powers of ancestors’ spirits and provide services where their Christian clients feel safe and protected. They are also responsible for preserving ancient traditions and modes of healing. I will analyse how they navigate modernity, combining holistic healing, ancestor veneration, Christianity, and the demands of 21st century clients.
