N° 3 fé (faith) DE/ MZ 2019
"...when a Mozambican is really in trouble, he will go to a traditional healer. He will have faith and hope. Even if he denies it later." Curandeiros, the traditional healers and the community of Zion, are not held in high regard by the modern urban society. It is a social taboo subject.
