I want to touch on cleansing sefifi from ukufelwa - abortion, and miscarriage. Aborting, by many people, is never seen as an act that carries any depth. This is why when they are consulted, and are told to have children that are spiritually lingering they become surprised. It doesn't matter how early you abort, spirit doesn't die.
As per tradition one is required to have a goat while other house holds use a sheep to cleanse you - ufelwe, that's the depth of it. Ifu elimnyama walks with you in your day to day life causing various complications, baby spirits can create serious blockages in life - they need to be laid to rest. You need to also ask for forgiveness from amadlozi wakini for the baby spirits you keep sending back, and not receiving - allowing them a chance at life.
Nga buza mina edlozini ukuthi manje njengoba abantu are barely making enough money to survive how will they be able to buy goats, and sheeps to set themselves free from lesinyama as well as to appease the ancestors. Idlozi liyacengwa, and are able to bargain with them to have mercy on you. Chickens have always been accepted by Idlozi when amandla awekho to provide what's needed. The truth is many people would remain uncleansed for a long time if we don't shwelezwa on behalf of those in need. I don't know who needs to hear this, but yeah.
