Sfiso Ncwane’s Mom Plans Cleansing Ceremony After Ayanda Shuts Them Out Of Unveiling

It seems like there’s never a dull moment in the world of celebrity drama. This time, the spotlight is on the late award-winning gospel musician, Sfiso Ncwane, his wife Ayanda Ncwane and his mother, Fikile Ncwane.

Fikile has expressed her desire to perform a traditional cleansing ceremony called ukumkhuphula to “bring home” the spirit of her beloved son.

For those unfamiliar with this practice, ukumkhuphula is a traditional ceremony mostly observed by Nguni families who wish to bring the spirit of a deceased loved one back home.

This ritual is typically performed months or even years after the burial, once the mourning period has ended. It is believed that the ceremony helps to honour the departed and ensure their spirit finds its way back to their ancestral home.

The controversy surrounding Sfiso Ncwane’s burial and subsequent unveiling ceremony has only added fuel to the fire.

Sfiso, a renowned gospel singer and composer, passed away on December 5, 2016, at the young age of 37. His wife, Ayanda Ncwane, who also managed his music career, recently held an unveiling ceremony for her late husband. However, it was not without its fair share of drama.

Ayanda chose to exclude Sfiso’s mother and his older child from the ceremony, leaving them feeling hurt and neglected.

In an interview with Zimoja, Fikile Ncwane confirmed that the family is now planning to perform the traditional ukumkhuphula ceremony for her late son. She expressed her heartbreak upon learning that Ayanda had disregarded Sfiso’s family during the unveiling of his tombstone.

Despite the strained relationship, Fikile Ncwane still holds hope for reconciliation and wishes for her grandchildren to be present at the ukumkhuphula ceremony.

She has been denied access to see her grandchildren, and her pleas to Ayanda have fallen on deaf ears. Fikile expressed her love for Ayanda as the mother of her grandchildren and implored her to consider the importance of family bonds.

“I don’t know what I did to her, but I want her to know that I love her because she is the mother of my grandchildren,” Fikile tearfully stated.

She acknowledged her own mortality and the urgency of the situation, emphasizing that she won’t be around forever. Seeing her grandchildren through social media and television is simply not enough for her.

In a heartfelt plea, Fikile asked for forgiveness from her estranged daughter-in-law, acknowledging her own shortcomings. “I am old, my child. I don’t know what I did to her. I am sorry, but God won’t keep me around forever. I would like to see my grandkids because seeing them on social media and TV is not enough,” she added.

As a woman of God, she hopes that Ayanda can find it in her heart to forgive her for any perceived wrongdoings.

Fikile Ncwane recounted the last time she saw Ayanda, which was at the funeral of Sfiso in December 2016.

Despite sitting next to each other, Ayanda did not greet Fikile or acknowledge her attempts at offering comfort during the difficult time. Instead, she gave her a cold shoulder, further deepening the divide between them.

Fikile Ncwane plans to hold the ukumkhuphula ceremony at her home in Mthwalume, located on the picturesque south coast of Durban. The exact date of the ceremony is yet to be determined, but it will likely take place in the coming months.

As we await the ukumkhuphula ceremony, we can only hope that this traditional ritual will not only bring the spirit of Sfiso Ncwane back home but also mend the fractured bonds within the family. After all, forgiveness and reconciliation are powerful forces that can heal even the deepest wounds.
