The Soil’s Buhle Mda To Return From Her Sangoma Training In August

Buhle Mda announced that she will be taking a sabbatical in her quest to “answer to greater beings”. She said that she will be away from all the group’s performances to focus on her ancestral calling.

She announced in January that she was leaving temporarily for a greater ancestral calling and, after a nationwide search, Theo Matshoba, from Soweto, stood in for her.

But the strong-willed singer says her training to be a sangoma is something sacred that she prefers not to share with the public.

Her official comeback is in August when she will tour with the acapella group with their ongoing #ExperienceTheSoil tour which kicked off on April 29 this year at Umfolozi Casino in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal.
