‘It’s very clear, the ancestors have spoken’ – Sangoma makes bold Proteas World Cup final prediction

Durban-based sangoma Makhosi Mandla Sukude has predicted the Proteas to win the T20 World Cup final.

South Africa’s men’s national cricket team play India in the T20 World Cup final at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday afternoon.

Sukude told IOL that the Proteas will emerge victorious over India in what is expected to be an entertaining final.

“It’s very clear, the ancestors have spoken … South Africa will emerge victorious against India tomorrow in the World Cup final,” he said.

“I threw the bones three times, and they all confirm the same thing that we will come out victorious tomorrow. I threw bones from the sea and the mountains and the answer is still the same.”

The traditional healer has also predicted one player to get injured during the match.

“But one thing you should know … there is a player that is going to get injured tomorrow and will not finish the game. The ancestors have spoken,” said Sukude.

The Proteas play in their first-ever World Cup final. India on the other hand, have lost many finals in the last decade.

Another sangoma, Makhosi Zodwa Ndlovu, said the bones showed “ku-mhlophe”, which means there is light and victory for the Proteas.

“Things appear bright for South Africa and that often means that everything is going to go well … the nation should expect to celebrate tomorrow,” he told the publication.

The Proteas have won all eight of their matches heading into the final but are not considered favourites.
