See sangoma.

noun isangomas · izangoma

Synonym of sangoma. In this The Story of the Zulus, p. 80, Mr. Gibson translates izangoma 'witch-doctors'. [...] Father Bryant adds that inyanga is 'another title' of the isangoma. The vague use of the English word 'witch-doctor' may be responsible for these confusions.
