Umeqo

Umeqo is a disease that attack people mainly starting from the feet and eventually attacking the whole body. This disease explains itself (Umeqo) (Ukweqa) Ukweqa is to jump in Zulu language. Now here they call this Bantu disease umeqo; meaning that you jumped the thing or you stepped on the thing that it got into you and started eating you up.

Umeqo doesn’t come only when you stepped on it or you jumped it, bad people can take the soil of the mark of your foot print and work on it calling the bad spirits to make you sick. They do this by cooking that soil, frying and roasting it, by so doing the magic reaches you and your feet start to be painful an swollen. That is umeqo.

I Khokhovula in my Sangoma / Inyanga carrier have dealt with a lot of umeqo cases in KwaZulu Natal province of South Africa. It is not only in KwaZulu Ntala where you have this umeqo thing, you have it in your area may be you call it in a different name.

The Shona people of Zimbabwe call it Chitsinga and the Ndebeles call it Isitsinga, they also call it ukucutshwa izinyawo, the Zulus call it ukucushwa izinyawo. The Vendas of Makhado in Limpopo province of South Africa call it Udzhiwa milenzhe.

It is always the work of inyanga and Sangoma to heal this Bantu disease called Umeqo.
