Are there 200,000 and more traditional healers practicing in South Africa?

Conclusion The allegation that there are 200,000 and more traditional healers practicing in South Africa could not be confirmed. The true number of bona fide traditional healers in present-day South Africa seems insignificant. It is of great importance that the official registration process of the South African traditional health practitioners is fully activated in 2017. Only then will clearance on the real number of traditional healers practicing in the country be obtained and can constructive decisions on the group ’s future be taken.
