The tension between two prominent South African sangomas, Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni, has reached new heights as accusations and counter-accusations dominate the headlines. Their public feud, marked by sensational claims, has captivated social media users but drawn widespread criticism for its lack of maturity.
The Latest Allegations
Gogo Maweni has responded to Gogo Skhotheni’s earlier remarks that her husband, Sabelo Mgube, is allegedly gay. In a fiery Instagram video shared by the blog Maphephandaba, Maweni alleged that Skhotheni was romantically involved with Mpumelelo Mseleku, the son of polygamist and reality TV star Musa Mseleku. Maweni accused Skhotheni of engaging in this affair at the Constitution Hill Hotel, stating, “If you have nothing to say, just shut up because the same Constitution Hill you are talking about, that is where you were busy with Mseleku’s son.”
This revelation comes after Skhotheni, known for her candid nature, previously denied allegations of an affair with Mpumelelo. Instead, she had taken shots at Maweni, adding fuel to their already blazing feud.
#### Fans React to the Drama
Social media has been abuzz with reactions to the escalating conflict between the two sangomas. While some users expressed disappointment, others questioned the maturity of both parties.
One user, @nkatiseng_m, remarked on Maweni’s defensive tone, saying, “The way she’s breathing, okare she is shocked from hearing what the other lady said.” Another added, “Why is she breathing like this, yet she started this?”
Others voiced their exhaustion with the ongoing drama. @mfaith.23 commented, “We’re tired of these two,” while @ntuthukofreeman expressed dismay at their behavior, saying, “Yho old people behaving like this on social media.”
#### A Feud Rooted in Personal Attacks
This is not the first time Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni have clashed publicly. Their feud dates back to earlier incidents where they exchanged harsh words, with Skhotheni accusing Maweni of physical threats and Maweni retaliating with remarks about Skhotheni’s personal life.
In a past incident, Gogo Skhotheni apologized for mocking Maweni’s appearance. However, any hopes of reconciliation between the two were dashed when their conflict intensified, revealing deeper animosity.
Social Media Criticism
Many fans have called on the two sangomas to resolve their issues privately, emphasizing the need for maturity, especially given their public platforms. Critics argue that their behavior detracts from the spiritual guidance they are expected to provide as sangomas.
Conclusion
The public feud between Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni continues to unfold, with each making increasingly shocking claims. While some find the drama entertaining, others have grown tired of the constant conflict. Whether the two will eventually bury the hatchet or further escalate their feud remains to be seen.
For now, their story serves as a reminder of the consequences of airing personal grievances on social media.
