Weird and Wonderful: How does climate change affect the world of traditional healers

The Aubrey Masango Show

On tonight’s edition of the Weird and Wonderful, we explore the intersection of ancient practices and modern challenges. Imagine the impact of severe droughts and damaged crops on herbs and plants essential for healing, the sacred rituals, once performed with flowing water, now disrupted by unpredictable floods. These environmental changes pose significant threats to the medicines and spiritual practices that have been passed down through generations. How do traditional healers adapt and continue their vital work amidst such challenges? What happens when your sacred spiritual house, for instance, indumba is demolished by floods? Join me and my guest, Prof Nceba Gqaleni as we delve into the struggles and resilience of traditional healers and discover the innovative ways they are navigating and adapting to the harsh realities of climate change.
