This piece starts with Nokhaya Noqayi, a traditional diviner who explains the characteristics that one should uphold if they are to be a professional traditional diviner. One may be called by their ancestors but they have to act in an appropriate way in order to survive the life long journey. 



The first narration introduces the expectations that are placed on a person who is called to become a traditional diviner. Noqayi then explains the process that happens from the minute the person receives the dreams to when they speak to their ancestors. 



The second narration introduces Nothongo Samson whom not long ago received the calling. She explains how she received the calling when she was still young. She explains the hardships that she has had to face as she did not have money to pay for her ceremonies and she did not want to be a burden on people. She states that her church was not able to explain her dreams and so she had to be assisted by traditional diviners. This is when she knew that this was not a church matter, it had to do with her customs and traditions. She explains how her dreams where at times so intense that she was scared to even tell anyone about them. She used to dream of drowning in water. She however states that these dreams do not mean any harm might come to her, they are simply warning her against unforeseen future circumstances. 



The third narration goes deeper into the stages that one has to go through to finish their training to become a diviner. Nondithini then explains the process that she went through. The training process differs from person to person. 

 

The fourth narration introduces Noqayi who tells people about the characteristics that one should show and how people do not want to obey the rules that come with being a traditional diviner.
