No Healer is an Island
Abstract
Traditional healing is our concern I have been an aficianado of traditional healing since my rural hospital years in Transkei, and particularly since our experience of a working group with amagqira in 1973.'" In 1974 I was invited by the SA National Cancer Association to advise them about including traditional healers in their campaigns against cancer. It was there that I met, as another adviser, Bouchier, a white man who became a traditional healer. In 1978 I was invited by Max Price, then President of the Wits SRC, to take part in a conference on traditional healing at the Medical School.'
