Businesswoman and celebrity sangoma Gogo Maweni, real name Lee Ann Makopo has been accused of witchcraft for many years as many people felt that living with many snakes and some of the practices performed on her reality show were signs of witchcraft.

Rumours like these have never bothered the mother of three as she’s always spoken about how she doesn’t start trouble but will face trouble head-on when it approaches her.

In a video shared on X, an app that was formerly known as Twitter, gogo Maweni defended herself explaining that she would retaliate when people come for her and her family.

“Hey, hey Maweni practices witchcraft, hey Maweni does bad things, can I ask you guys something? What do you do when someone comes to you and says she/he will kill you?” asked the popular sangoma.

She added, “If someone comes and ruins your marriage, when they bewitch your child, if they cast a bad spell on you what are you going to do? Are we just supposed to keep quiet and watch people come for us? Oh No, that will never happen to me.”

One user felt that the sangoma was using the witchcraft rumours as a marketing strategy commenting:

She is really milking this thakathing business, make me question if she is really thakathing, because those people they work in silence ? pic.twitter.com/vwYyXQsffJ

Number One witchcraft and it starts with jealous simple witchcraft craft is jealous seeing others not succeeding is witchcraft.
