South African celebrity sangoma Gogo Skhotheni recently opened up about her first encounter with dark practices. The reality TV star revealed how she assisted an unknown hitman from Johannesburg, marking her initiation into a world she had never experienced before.
Skhotheni, who was still conducting consultations in eMbalenhle, Mpumalanga, at the time, recalled the chilling moment when she was approached by a man seeking protection after committing numerous crimes.
A Hitman Seeks Help
In an exclusive interview with ZiMoja, Gogo Skhotheni disclosed how she used dark spiritual means to help a hitman who had killed several people. She revealed that the encounter happened long before she became famous, back when she was practicing in a modest setup.
“I had a client from Joburg while I was still staying in eMbalenhle. He arrived at 6 in the morning and said, ‘Gogo, I am inkabi (hitman). My inyanga is dead.’ I wasn’t famous at the time. Nobody knew me. I was working in my mkhukhu and had two initiates,” she shared.
She further explained that the man confessed to being a professional hitman, stating that his job was his only means of survival. He sought her assistance after his previous sangoma passed away, fearing that the spirits of his victims might haunt him.
“This guy came to me and said that his work as a hitman was the only way he could provide for his family. He was afraid that the spirits of the people he had killed would come back to torment him,” she added.
Skhotheni’s Love Life Under Scrutiny
Beyond her spiritual work, Gogo Skhotheni’s personal life has also been making headlines. A recent post from @izidabazabantu revealed that the sangoma might be getting married soon.
She reportedly shared an Instagram story mentioning that her first lobola negotiations did not take long. In a leaked text message, she allegedly confirmed the ongoing discussions, stating, “They [are] busy negotiating as we speak ngise kamereni (while I’m in the room).”
Her love life has been a topic of speculation, especially following her rumored reconciliation with her ex, Monde Shange. The couple had allegedly broken up, but rumors surfaced in November 2024 suggesting they were back together.
Additionally, Skhotheni previously made headlines for admitting that she once used a love potion on her husband. She also had a public feud with fellow sangoma Gogo Maweni, with their clash lasting several days. There were even whispers linking her romantically to Mpumelelo Mseleku, the son of polygamist Musa Mseleku.
