Exploring the perspectives of Zulu traditional healers and caregivers, this research reveals their belief that psychosis, or ukuhlanya, is a curable condition often attributed to bewitchment. The study highlights a clear distinction made by participants between psychosis and the symptoms associated with individuals who are called to become traditional healers. This work offers valuable insights into the cultural understanding and conceptualization of psychosis within the Zulu community.
