Maweni vs Skotheni: The battle of the gogo’s takes a dark turn

The feud between celebrity sangomas Gogo Maweni and Gogo Skhotheni has taken a dark turn as both figures have put on their boxing gloves and resorted to revealing and dabbling in more personal affairs.

This feud dates back to an original feud between Gogo Maweni and popular and controversial TikToker Dominic Zaca, who Gogo Maweni alleged was asked to partake in sexual intercourse with Gogo Skhotheni’s husband Monde. This led to a back and forth with each sangoma throwing accusations of outing the sexuality of each other’s partners, as well as owning fake luxury items.

It appears nothing is off limits as Gogo Skhotheni resorted to revealing and alleging Maweni’s involvement in multiple murder cases, and going as far as citing the various case numbers for her followers during a TikTok Live.

In retaliation, Maweni has taken matters to the darker side with an ominous Instagram post where she stuck a note on a coffin reading, “Bhoyo noma umama engazikakela azichamele okusalayo angeke ubuye. Ubabekazi wakho Maweni,” which translates to ‘My Boy, even if your poops and pees her pants, that will not bring you back to life. Your father in law, Maweni’. Users believe that this sinister message is directed to Skhotheni’s late son Monde Junior who recently passed away due to health complications that he had dealt with his whole life.

The back and forth has had users shocked and appalled at the lengths these two figures are willing to go to in order to inflict pain on each other. Others have inquired why they do not use their supernatural powers to settle the score once and for all and lay the matter to rest by proving who the more powerful sangoma is. Furthermore, the quarrel has led to users picking sides and determining who is in the wrong in this whole ordeal.
