One Prediction for 2013 We Want to Believe In

   I do not really believe in sangomas/witchdoctors/'lingaka tsa Sesotho' and their ways.

   From my personal experience, most of them fly by night. There has been too many instances in the past where one was given a powderish stuff and told to throw it to the west after having a bath at home. When this remedy did not work and you went back, you were told that you got the instruction wrong. The powder was actually to be thrown to the east.

   This year however, in this one instance, I am going to suspend my skepticism about the sangomas' know-how. I am going to be a believer just this one time.

   A friend of my sister who bought a copy of our FGM blog book(FEELING GOOD) happens to be a trained sangoma. She first smsd my sister this prediction on New Years's Eve(31st Dec 2012). In this sms this friend said my sister must tell me that I must be patient as far as the FGM blog book sales were concerned, because soon the book is going to take off. In 2013 the book's sales are going to go through the roof, the sms said.

   When I heard about this prediction, I did not take it seriously. My past history with sangomas did not allow me to get excited. What will be will be, I told myself.

   This past Tuesday(2nd Jan 2013) my sister's friend was again at it. This time she made the prediction in person while visiting us. She told my sister that the book is going to sell in huge numbers this year and implored my sister to please take her seriously. On being asked how she knew this for sure, she said she can 'see' these things. 

   On hearing the prediction for the second time - this time delivered by the horse itself - I sat up. I then decided to note it on my calendar, just in case. And I did get excited a little bit also. But I remained calm on the outside and never said a word to the friend. A guy must keep his cool, you know. I also decided to treat this divination as a self-fulfilling prophecy for myself. Now that my ancestors - through my sister's friend - have told me about the book's good prospects, I am going to work even harder, harder than I currently am, to make the book a success.

   There you have it otherwise, ladies and gentlemen. Remember you read it here first: FEELING GOOD is going to be HUGE in 2013. Courtesy of our resident sangoma.
