00:00My friend, Sté, who knows the city well, is taking me to a market in the middle of
00:08downtown Durban, but this isn't a regular market where you'd purchase fruit and vegetables.
00:17This is a traditional medicine market.
00:22This is Cindy, this is her stall, and as I'm about to find out, these roots, these herbs,
00:29these crushed up branches, and everything that's for sale here is for a variety of different
00:34ailments.
00:35Really a very interesting part of this journey, I can't wait to find out more about what's
00:38on sale and what it's to be used for.
00:42So what is this one used for here?
00:45You burn this for bad devil spirits.
00:49For bad spirits?
00:50Yeah, bad devil spirits.
00:51So if you take this, and you put it in a bucket of boiling water, and you put a blanket over
00:57your head, and you breathe that steam, and you do that for five days, this is going to
01:00ward off evil spirits.
01:02This is going to make sure your evil spirits don't come anywhere near you.
01:06And Iwoza-woza, what is Iwoza-woza?
01:08If you're looking for a job, you use this one.
01:11And then it's going to help you get money and help you get work.
01:14Iwoza-woza is to attract, yeah, it's the same as this one.
01:20To attract luck.
01:21Yeah, attract luck.
01:22Or woman.
01:23I luck.
01:24Not woman.
01:25No, only luck.
01:26Like attract luck.
01:27Yeah.
