The insufficient formulation and vagueness of the definition ‘Traditional Health Practitioner’ as included in the Traditional Health Practitioners Act (Act No 22, 2007) of South Africa

Conclusion It seems that the legal definition of a traditional health practitioner, as offered by the Traditional Health Practitioners Act No 22, is vague and insufficiently formulated. This shortcoming frustrates the intention of the Act to make the traditional health practitioner the exclusive role player who has to deliver a traditional health service to the public.
