Abantu abaningi bayaphika ukuthi izikhathi sezishintshile, kodwa izangoma zihamba nezikhathi.
Iqembu lezangoma ezisencane ezithwasiswe ugobela oyedwa (umqeqeshi) e-Alexandra, enyakatho neGoli, lithe ngeke libambeke ezinsukwini zakudala.
UDipuo Chauke nabangani bakhe abasebancane bezangoma bazibiza ngama-Phahlarists.
Izangoma ziphendule igama lokhokho elithi phahla, okuyisenzo esisho ukuqeqeshwa, saba ibizo. “Singabesimanje futhi sifuna ukubukeka futhi sizwakale kanjalo,” kusho uDipuo.
UDipuo uthe UkuPhahla kuwumkhuba owenzelwa ukucela ukuholwa, inhlanhla nezibusiso kokhokho.
Waziwa ngegama lokhokho njengoGogo uMahambanomoya, uDipuo uthe abantu bezinsuku zakudala babebheka izangoma njengabantu abangenampilo. “Ngaphambi kokuba sibe yizangoma, sasinezimpilo. Sasivame ukuphila kamnandi.
“Igama elithi-Phahlarist lifana nokuthi isiteketiso. Siyisizukulwane esisha sezangoma esibusiswe okhokho bethu esingalapha futhi sibe nezimpilo zaso,” esho.
Isazi samasiko uRefiloe Waga Khunou uxwayise abantu abasha ukuthi bangadlali ngezipho zabo zokhokho.
Uthe bebengazi ukuthi bangajeziswa, baze baqalekiswe nangokhokho babo uma benza amahlaya ngalokho abakunikiwe.
Uthe kunezangoma ezisencane eziveza izithombe zazo zinqunu e-indumbeni. Izinto ezinjalo kufanele zigqugquzelwa futhi azimele isiko lase-Afrika.
Kodwa abangani bakaGogo uMahambanomoya uTinyiko Mtsenga, uNtsako Mtsenga, noNkosazana Chauke bathe bonke bayabahlonipha okhokho babo nesipho abasiphiwe. “Sihamba nezikhathi kuphela,” kusho uNtsako.
Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, i-Scrolla.Africa saxoxa indaba yesangoma esisasencane esizibiza ngeSlaying Sangoma nabantu abanemibono engafani ngalolu daba.
Ama-Phahlarists athe afuna izangoma ziningi ngisho nalezo ezaqala ukuphahla eminyakeni eminingi edlule zihambe nezikhathi.
