Kelly Khumalo has taken a significant step in her spiritual journey.

The singer recently announced that she accepted her ancestral calling and had graduated as an inyanga.

“wu Hlanga lomhlabathi Slwane saMandla, wabizwa wasabela [you were called and you answered], now you are a certified healer,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

In a recent interview on Ukhozi, Kelly said she underwent rigorous training and initiation to become a traditional healer.

“I could’ve lost my life due to a lot of things, God saved me. So I have so much to be grateful for,” she said.

“After 15 years of searching and trying to figure out who I am, today I’m finally graduating and am a certified inyanga.

“It’s a universal gift, hence it took this long for me to figure it out and make sense of it. I was trained in many places, including in water, nature, by prayer and through my roots, because it’s important to know where I come from to know where I’m going.”

Videos and images of her in traditional attire have been circulating on social media, sparking conversation.
