South African-based former Miss World Zimbabwe, Phoebe Monjane, has insisted that she is working on becoming a sangoma or a prophetess.

Speaking to H-Metro, Monjane said reports claiming that she had become a destitute and was staying with drug addicts in Johannesburg, “were not entirely true.”

She said: “Basically, what I am struggling with are prophetic things, to be a sangoma, or kuita n’anga in other words. But, kuve mustreet, I don’t wanna lie, no I am not. So, my spiritualism means a lot to me.”

Monjane, who won the Miss World Zim title in 2003, said she is seeking help on how she can become either a traditional healer or prophetess.

She also revealed that she has engaged with her new white boyfriend and will notify the public of her wedding celebrations in due course.
