In a candid chat on Ukhozi FM, Kelly shared that her journey to becoming an inyanga has been a long one, spanning over 15 years and multiple training sessions. She revealed that she has been trained four to five times in various locations, including nature and even in water. Talk about dedication! She emphasized that her practice isn’t just about traditional healing for black people but is intended to reach a universal audience. “It’s a universal gift,” she explained, and it’s clear she’s ready to take her newfound identity to the next level.
