Amanzi Amnyama

What is “Amanzi amnyama”?– This is a situation where abangasekho are in complete misery and have no good communication amongst themselves and their human families. This situation could be deliberately brought about by someone with the aim of creating instability among the living, the dead or both.

Lolu wuhlobo lokuthakatha olwejwayelekile ukwenzeka ozalweni Iwasibongo sinye olumonazelanayo noma olungezwani. Kuyenzeka kubekhona oyedwa nje ozalweni ozokwenza lolu hlobo lokuthakatha, ethakatha abantu bozalo Iwakhe. Uma ephehla amanzi amnyama usuke ephendula amadlozi ngokusebenzisa inhlabathi yamathuna ayihlanganise neminye imithi emibi ukuze amadlozi akubo alufulathele uzalo.

Ngalolu hlobo lokuthakatha usuke ewaluthe ngendlela·yokuthi abheke yena yedwa kumbe yena nomndeni wakhe, amenzele izinhlanhla, amvikele emikhuhlaneni nasemashweni.

Uzalo-ke lapho alulungelwa lutho, kuba mnyama konke kulo kuzekuyobheda nasenzalweni imbala. Imisebenzi yamanzi amnyama ibonakala ngokuthi kuyashonwa kulo mndeni ophehlelwa amanzi amnyama, kushonwa ngezingozi, kumbe abantu bagule isikhathi esifishane bese beyashona, abaganene bayehlukana (bayadivosa), izingane aZigani, ezabafana ziba yimiphuphe nje engaganiwe, zingayitholi imisebenzi, zibe zidakwa ezinye zibhunguke zingezwani nokuhlala emakhaya, abasebenzayo kuyabheda emsebenzini kuvaleke imali nezinhlanhla, kuvaleke namaphupho etc.etc. The list is endless. Le nhlobo yobuthakathi yenzelwa ukuba izitha kanye nenzalo yazo kungavikelwa ngamadlozi okungadala ukuba ivelelwe ngamashwa anhlobonhlobo.

Now, I've come across many people in this state and what puzzled me the most is that in their attempts to remedy their situation bayahlabiswa to appease their ancestors; which is totally wrong because umuntu obhekene nalesimo even if engahlaba, things will not change. Instead abanye complain that things become worse, which is not surprising at all. 

Different healers tend to have different approaches in remedying such a situation and that is fine. But what I want to bring to light is that the remedying of this state/situation is totally possible and not very complex either. Yes it can be costly mainly because of the number of herbs involved, the time it takes to prepare them etc.
