We do not publish direct telephone numbers or personal email addresses for named individuals. This page carries none, and it will not carry them if you ask.
Traditional healing is a regulated profession in South Africa, and that is the useful fact here. Traditional health practitioners must be registered with the Traditional Health Practitioners Council of South Africa, and registration is verifiable.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We have no relationship with any individual named in a search query, and we cannot pass a message to anyone.
What you probably need instead
Advertisements promising guaranteed results, lost lovers returned, instant wealth or cures for serious illness are the shape of a well-known fraud, and they target people at their most desperate.
| What you are trying to do | Where it actually goes |
|---|---|
| Checking whether a practitioner is registered | The Traditional Health Practitioners Council of South Africa, which maintains the register. |
| A complaint about a practitioner’s conduct | The same Council, which handles complaints about registered practitioners. |
| A serious illness | A medical doctor or a clinic. No traditional or alternative practitioner may claim to cure HIV, cancer, diabetes or any other serious condition, and stopping prescribed treatment on such advice is dangerous. |
| An advertisement making health claims | SAHPRA, which acts against unregistered products and false health claims, and the Advertising Regulatory Board. |
| Money already paid on a promise | The South African Police Service on 10111, and your bank the same day. |
Spotting the fraud that uses this framing
- Guaranteed results are the signal. No legitimate practitioner of any kind guarantees an outcome.
- Payment demanded upfront and escalating, with each payment producing a reason for another, is the defining structure of the scam.
- Never hand over your identity document, your bank card or your PIN to anyone, for any reason connected to a promised outcome.
- Do not stop prescribed medical treatment on anyone’s advice except a doctor’s. This is where this fraud does its worst harm.
- Registered practitioners can be checked with the Council, and one who refuses to give a registration number has told you what you need to know.
Why this page carries no personal details
The rule is applied to everyone equally, whether the request comes from a member of the public, a journalist or the person themselves.
- A personal number published where it ranks in search becomes an impersonation tool. The number is what lends a fraudulent approach credibility, and the people harmed are the ones who trusted it.
- Someone named in a search query did not ask to be listed. A directory publishing an individual’s direct line hands strangers a channel that person never opened.
- Organisational routes are published here in full. Where an organisation publishes a contact route on its own official channels, we publish it, because that is a channel opened deliberately for the public.
- Numbers circulating on third-party sites are not republished. A number appearing elsewhere is not evidence that anyone consented to it being listed, and it is frequently wrong.
Verified routes that can act
These are institutional routes, verified against the organisations’ own published pages.

Where to take a health concern instead
The most damaging outcome in this area is someone stopping medical treatment, so the alternative routes are worth setting out plainly.
- A clinic or a doctor is the route for any symptom that worries you. Public clinics treat free at the point of care for those who qualify.
- Chronic medication is dispensed through public facilities, and stopping it on anyone’s advice other than a doctor’s is dangerous.
- Mental health support is available free. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group and LifeLine both run counselling lines.
- Traditional and biomedical care are not mutually exclusive, and a registered traditional health practitioner should not be telling you to stop prescribed treatment.
- Report false health claims to SAHPRA, which regulates health products and acts against unregistered ones and against claims to cure serious illness.
Complaints and escalation
Complaints about a registered traditional health practitioner go to the Traditional Health Practitioners Council of South Africa, which maintains the register and handles conduct complaints. False health claims and unregistered products are SAHPRA’s, and misleading advertising can be taken to the Advertising Regulatory Board. Where money has been taken on a false promise, that is fraud: report it to the South African Police Service on 10111 and tell your bank the same day.

Frequently asked questions
Is traditional healing regulated in South Africa?
Yes. Traditional health practitioners must be registered with the Traditional Health Practitioners Council of South Africa, and registration is verifiable.
Someone advertises a guaranteed cure. Is that lawful?
Claims to cure serious conditions are regulated, and SAHPRA acts against false health claims and unregistered products. A guaranteed outcome is not something any legitimate practitioner offers.
I paid and nothing happened. Can I get the money back?
Report it to the police and to your bank the same day. Recovery depends on whether the funds are still in the receiving account, which is a question of hours rather than weeks.
Will you publish a personal number?
No. We do not publish named individuals’ personal contact details.
