What can hustlers learn from waganga?

Mganga kutoka Tanzania, Mganga Kutoka Zanzibar are common adverts appearing on street posts and even in our newspapers. Some of the waganga give themselves titles like Dr and Professor. It is not clear to me why TZ and Zanzibar are home to the toughest Waganga and why Kenyan waganga never advertise their services that vigorously. Why not mganga kutoka Shamakhokho or kutoka Ekalakala?

If you read through any of the adverts by a mganga, one gets a feeling they “know you,” chances are they will mention at least one problem that disturbs you. Over the years, waganga have mastered the common problems an average human being faces through all the phases of his or her live and through seasons from cold, rain, dry or even electioneering. This in-depth understanding of human behaviour keeps Waganga active and moneyed.
