 In October this year, Sangomas led by the Traditional Healers Organisation (THO), marched to the offices of the channel in Rosebank, north of Joburg to complain about the airing of “fake” izangoma show.

They said they were tired of the fake traditional healers whose shows are aired on the channel as it misrepresent and undermines real traditional healers.
