Khotso Sethuntsa, the near-legendary medicine man, was believed to
be a worker of powerful and dangerous magic. Khotso was renowned
and feared throughout South Africa and beyond, even after his death
in 1972. He created a fabulous eccentric kingdom around himself. He
has been surrounded by mystery: the origins of his fortune and the
extent of his powers shrouded in secrecy. This title takes us into
the world of one of southern Africa's best-known herbalists.
Khotso
was famed, especially, as a seller of ibangalala, a herbal remedy
for sexual potency, and ukuthwala, a terrifying procedure for
acquiring long-term wealth. Also, he claimed to be in spiritual
contact with Paul Kruger, hinting that his fortune derived from the
long-lost Kruger millions. Meanwhile, leading Afrikaner
Nationalists politicians, including H.F.Verwoed and J.G.Strijdom,
sought Khotso out - for his medicines for political power, it has
been said. Some believed that Khotso had entered into an occult
pact with the mamlambo, the seductive mermaid woman who grants
wealth at a terrible price. It is rumoured that the tragic twists
and turns in his life sprung from this. Yet, as one of his many
wives said, he was, too, ""a lively, joking medicine man who loved
money, sex and laughter.""
This title unravels many of the
mysteries surrounding Khotso Sethuntsa. It explores his unique
empire and tracks his extraordinary career.
