The Question That Started It All

Dineo’s Honest Take
Known for her openness on spiritual matters, Dineo replied:
“No one goes to a healer when things are going well in their lives.”
Anele challenged the statement, sharing that she sees a healer once a year for cleansing — regardless of circumstances.
“I go once a year to cleanse whether it’s good or bad. I think saying no one is a big assumption.”
Observation vs. Assumption
Dineo clarified her stance, saying her opinion was based on real-life patterns:
“Me and my healer peers mostly see people whose lives are in shambles. Not an assumption, an observation.”
When Anele asked if she had ever seen someone with no spiritual issues, Dineo admitted such clients exist but are rare.
“Yes, and it’s usually followed by ‘there are small things to fix’… I call them unicorn clients.”
Opening Up the Conversation
Their dialogue resonated with many online users. Some echoed Dineo’s observations from their personal experiences, while others appreciated Anele’s perspective on proactive spiritual care — highlighting the diversity in how people approach healing and spirituality.
