Celebrity Sangomas Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni’s Feud Takes a Sinister Turn
The escalating feud between two of South Africa’s most controversial celebrity sangomas, Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni, has captured public attention as it takes a deeply personal and increasingly dark turn
What began as an exchange of accusations has now spiraled into a bitter rivalry marked by shocking allegations, sinister messages, and public outrage.
The Origins of the Feud
The animosity between Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni reportedly stems from an earlier dispute involving Gogo Maweni and TikTok personality Dominic Zaca. Maweni accused Zaca of being coerced into an intimate encounter with Gogo Skhotheni’s husband, Monde Shange. The allegations sparked a social media firestorm, with both sangomas entering the fray and hurling accusations at one another.

What followed was a heated back-and-forth, with each party making explosive claims. Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni both targeted each other’s families and lifestyles. Accusations included outing the alleged sexual preferences of their respective partners and questioning the authenticity of luxury items flaunted by the other.

Accusations Turn Darker
As tensions mounted, Gogo Skhotheni upped the ante during a TikTok Live session, accusing Gogo Maweni of being involved in multiple murder cases. Skhotheni went so far as to share alleged case numbers with her followers, suggesting that Maweni’s name is tied to criminal investigations.
Gogo Maweni, known for her unapologetic persona, retaliated with a cryptic yet chilling Instagram post. The post featured a coffin adorned with a note written in isiZulu, which translates to: “My boy, even if your mother poops and pees her pants, that will not bring you back to life. Your father-in-law, Maweni.” Social media users were quick to interpret this as a veiled reference to Gogo Skhotheni’s late son, Monde Junior, who tragically passed away after battling lifelong health complications.
This disturbing post sent shockwaves across platforms, with many condemning Maweni for what appeared to be a deeply personal and hurtful attack.
Public Reactions and the Fallout
As the feud plays out on public platforms, it has left fans and followers divided. Some social media users have expressed their disgust at the extent to which these two sangomas are willing to go to humiliate and hurt one another. Others have questioned why the feuding spiritual healers do not simply use their supernatural powers to resolve the matter decisively.
One user commented, “If they are as powerful as they claim, why not have a spiritual duel and settle this once and for all?” Others have taken sides, with some defending Gogo Maweni’s actions and others siding with Gogo Skhotheni, arguing that the line was crossed when Skhotheni dragged alleged murder cases into the public domain.
The Unfolding Drama
What makes this feud particularly unsettling is its personal nature. From accusations of fake luxury items to remarks about deceased loved ones, it seems that no topic is off-limits. The public’s fascination with the drama continues to grow, with many tuning in to see how far these two spiritual figures are willing to go.
However, the feud also raises deeper questions about the ethics and conduct of public figures who hold positions of cultural and spiritual influence. As sangomas, both Maweni and Skhotheni are meant to embody healing and guidance. Instead, their ongoing feud has exposed a darker side to celebrity culture, where personal grievances are aired in a public arena for all to witness.
Will the Feud Ever End?
Whether this feud will ever be resolved remains uncertain. Both parties have shown little interest in reconciliation, with their actions seemingly aimed at causing maximum emotional damage. Meanwhile, fans and critics alike are left wondering how long this bitter battle will continue to dominate headlines.
For now, the drama between Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni continues to grip the nation, a reminder of how personal vendettas can overshadow the cultural and spiritual roles these individuals are expected to uphold.
