SANGOMA Mjeyi Msomi sells muthi to wake up sleepy 4-5s and help people get top jobs.
And he has strange helpers to bring him customers – two big snakes around his neck and one on the pavement.
Some people don’t want to get too close as they fear the snakes will bite them.
But the serpents don’t worry this sangoma.
“They won’t harm me as they are my ancestors,” he said.
“They can foresee evil and protect me against it.”
Sangoma Mjeyi said he sells his muthi at taxi ranks as there are so many people there.
He goes to the Bekkersdal taxi rank, Westonaria, every week to trade.
His gobela, Bongani Ngcobo, goes with him.
Mjeyi uses a loudspeaker to call customers to buy his muthi for their 4-5 problems and other troubles.
“If you want muthi for that top job, we are here to help you,” he said.
“For R100 you can be the CEO of a company!”
People scream as the snake on the pavement moves towards them.
A shocked Joyce Motshwane said: “The world is coming to an end. Wherever have you seen this? People do desperate things just to get customers!”
But Mjeyi wasn’t upset by these remarks.
He said he became a sangoma three years ago and the snakes keep him in business.
“My girlfriend isn’t afraid of them. She respects them as she knows they are harmless and they bring money.”
Simon Pharuma said he bought muthi for his 4-5 and wants to see if it will work.
“I have been to a men’s clinic but the erection lasts only a few hours during sex and goes back to normal.
“I just pray it works.”
