N'anga

n'anga ("asekuru" or "godobori") means a witch doctor, traditional healer (sangoma), fetish priest, or sorcerer. A female traditional healer may also be referred to as nyahana or nyahanda; however, this should not be misconstrued as being a synonym of Nyamhita Nehanda (i.e., a mhondoro spirit).

And these n'anga's all have different skills and methods of operation:

• some use hakata, some don't.
• some are into enoptromancy some aren't.
• some can create goblins, some can't.
• some can kill without hesitation, some are a little nervous.
• etc, etc.

In the Republic of Zimbabwe, numerous people consult traditional healers for different spiritual services to be rendered to them and this can vary in the form of:

• dealing with cases of witchcraft (huroyi).
• dealing with avenging spirits (ngozi).
• divination about the certainty of pre-planned events.
• to buy money-making mbashto (medicine), love potions, etc.
• to spiritually spy on other political or corporate opponents through the mirror (girazi).
• to seek services for fixing foes whose heads have grown too big (kukura musoro).
• etc, etc.

This word n'anga is often butchered in the written form as nganga yet in chiShona language there is no such thing as nganga. It should only be written as n'anga with an apostrophe and of course without the letter g just after the first letter n.
