For one to become a Sangoma, one must first have ubizo, the ancestral calling. There are many ways to find out if one has ubizo. The most common is through dreams, and another is through consultation with a qualified Sangoma. For me it was through dreams. No one told me I had ubizo, but my ancestors showed me everything through dreams. I should probably mention here that I am using the word Sangoma here to refer to traditional health practitioners in general but it should be noted that not all traditional health practitioners are referred to as Sangoma. Some are called izinyanga (healer), amagedla (herbalists), and ababelethisi (midwives). Sangoma is often used to refer to diviners. The South African Traditional Health Practitioners Act of 2007 recognises the following categories, diviner (Sangoma), herbalist (igedla), traditional birth attendant (midwife), and traditional surgeon, those that perform coming of age rituals. While all these healers undergo some kind of training, it is often Sangomas who undergo the process of ukuthwasa, the initiation process, and it is through this process that one acquires their ancestral name.
Once one has confirmed that they have ubizo, there is a process called ukuvuma ukufa or imvuma kufa (literal translationaccepting death)that must take place prior to going to ephehlweni, the training college.

Imvuma kufa may vary from culture to culture and family to family. That said, it is essentially the process involving the person with ubizo accepting their calling, as well as the family accepting the calling.
It is for this reason that imvuma kufa is commonly done with the involvement of the family. In some cultures, imvuma kufa may be done by the family alone, while in others it must be done with the assistance of the gobela. The dynamics and technicalities of this process vary but the aim remains the same, to accept and welcome ubizo. 2351a5e196
