If you are from a culture that verifies its heritage and history using scientific data collection, that is not the case with me. I am insulted by anybody who questions my traditions and customs. i take offence that you want me to prove so you can believe. It is not your tradition, it is not in your blood and you don't have to believe in any of it. But I do demand respect.
I have been desensitised for a very long time by people who are just bigots and prejudice other because of their creed, race or sexual orientation. However this time I thought it is time that I stood up to quell this fire trying to extinguish our traditions. I have been called a faggot, I have been called a Kaffir and now that I am Sangoma I am called a devil worshipper, liar and a savage. I cannot wear my beads with pride because uncultured people who do not understand our way of doing things oppress and insult us.
I will not be a victim because I know where I come from. I totally understand where I am going.
