Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Zodwa Wabantu has received backlash from social media users after she posted pictures of a sacred traditional ceremony she recently participated in. Zodwa Wabantu recently embarked on a spiritual journey which she has been sharing with her followers on social media.<\/p>\n

Her latest Instagram post has caused a social media stir. The photo shows her in the Eastern Cape where she can be seen undergoing a spiritual ritual.<\/p>\n

In the photo, Zodwa has white stuff all over her face and body, and a white cloth is wrapped around her. A chicken is placed on top of her. Incense is also being burned.<\/p>\n

Many social media users slammed the socialite for sharing sacred traditional ceremonies with the world. \u201cSocial media media is slowly destroying the beauty of African tradition, how sacred it should be,\u201d wrote one social media user.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t put everything on social media sis ,this is the reason why school is very important, atleast metric can open one\u2019s senses nje,\u201d wrote another user.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomethings are for private sesi zodwa,\u201d another one wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cDis shudnt b exposed, it\u2019s sacred..,\u201d another one added. Last month, there were rumours that Zodwa had become the latest celebrity to become a sangoma. She set the record straight in an interview with IOL.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have recently accepted a calling but this is a different kind of ubizo (calling). I\u2019m not a sangoma. I\u2019m not going to an initiation school for sangomas. I am Inkosazana ya Manzi [ princess of the water],\u201d revealed the star.<\/p>\n
