I came to know the word inyanga as meaning a traditional healer; one who works with natural medicines in particular. In Zimbabwe, the word encompasses the spiritual healers we call sangomas.
Yesterday I helped make a drum which looks like the moon, and discovered the isiZulu word for both moon and month:
inyanga, izinyanga
Namhlanje inyanga ingcwele.
Today the moon is full.
