"Graduation dances and a beach bonfire celebrate the training of new izangoma in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal. Part spirit medium, part herbalist, izangoma gather plant and animal materials to use in rituals against sickness and bad luck. Some izangoma now work with conservationists to limit the impact of such collecting on threatened species."
