In our #spiritualitycorner this week, @ThorisoMaloka speaks to Architect & PhD candidate, John Molebatsi about traditional healing in South Africa needing spaces designed for the purpose. In our spiritual corner this morning, we are doing things a little different instead of speaking to our resident spiritual experts. .
Christina Breed Senior Lecturer, University of Pretoria and Gary Ivan Stafford Lecturer/researcher, University of Pretoria wrote on the lack of infrastructure support for traditional healers. African traditional medicine and its practices were prohibited under the pretext of witchcraft in South Africa by the British and later the apartheid government. This led to secrecy in the practice and a lack of infrastructural planning to support it.
