Skhotheni, once known for her bold presence as a sangoma, has now made a dramatic and unexpected leap—straight into the pulpit.
The internet is buzzing after a video surfaced of her preaching in church, dressed in a body-hugging outfit that left little to the imagination.
Naturally, this has set social media ablaze, with many questioning her intentions, her new role, and most of all—her wardrobe choice.
Is this a genuine transformation or a clout-chasing move?
The viral clip shows Skhotheni standing confidently before a congregation, passionately delivering a sermon.
But instead of listening to her message, most viewers—including the vlogger behind the video—found themselves distracted by her enhanced
curves, visibly on display in a tight dress.
Let’s be honest: when your sermon competes with your silhouette, the focus shifts.
This wasn’t just a question of fashion—it was about what’s appropriate in a religious setting.
For those familiar with traditional Zion churches, the scene was particularly jarring.
In these churches, women typically wear long, modest garments, head coverings, and avoid makeup or flashy accessories.
The dress code isn’t just cultural—it’s about respect and reverence.
So, when Skhotheni appeared on the pulpit in what could easily pass as a club dress, many felt it crossed a line.
The question isn’t whether she’s allowed to change her life.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
But how you present that change matters—especially when you’re claiming a leadership role in the church.
It’s not just about preaching a message, it’s about living and embodying the values you claim to represent.
What rubbed the vlogger and many others the wrong way was the apparent fast-track from traditional healer to preacher, with no visible
period of spiritual growth or preparation.
“Shouldn’t there be some kind of training before leading a congregation?” she asked.
And it’s a fair point.
In many faiths, spiritual leadership requires not just charisma, but also education, mentoring, and community validation.
Skhotheni’s rapid pivot raises eyebrows, especially given the controversies that surrounded her just before this transformation.
Allegations of scamming clients while working as a sangoma were beginning to surface, and it wasn’t long after that she announced her
departure from the practice.
Coincidence?
Some think not.
The idea that churches are now driven more by popularity than piety is nothing new.
But this situation takes that criticism to a new level.
With millions of followers on social media, Skhotheni brings instant attention to any platform she joins.
And sadly, that might be exactly what some churches are looking for: visibility over virtue.
This has led to a larger conversation about the state of modern churches.
Where has the focus on God gone?
Why does fame seem to hold more weight than faith?
In the vlogger’s own words, “Church is no longer about God.”
She believes that sin is not just tolerated in many churches—it’s celebrated, especially if the sinner brings influence and money.
Many feel that true believers, the ones living quiet, faithful lives, are being pushed aside for celebrities who can fill seats.
This disillusionment has led her—and many others—to walk away from organized religion entirely.
But this doesn’t mean she’s abandoned her faith.
She still believes in God, but feels today’s churches have “missed the plot.”
Her critique is harsh, but it resonates.
What example does it set for young women and future believers when a preacher’s sermon is overshadowed by her surgically enhanced body
in a skin-tight dress?
At what point do we say, “Enough is enough?”
This isn’t just about fashion—it’s about intention, reverence, and the sacred space that is the pulpit.
You wouldn’t wear a bikini to a funeral, so why wear a nightclub dress to preach?
Yes, times are changing.
Yes, churches are evolving.
But should standards of respect and dignity evolve to the point where they disappear?
It’s a conversation worth having.
As the video continues to trend, viewers are split.
Some defend Skhotheni’s right to redefine herself and walk her spiritual path.
Others see it as yet another example of how fame can buy you a position, even in the house of God.
Whether you agree or not, one thing is certain—Skhotheni’s transformation is shaking the pews and forcing everyone to take a long, hard look
at what we now accept as normal in the modern church.
So, what do you think?
Is this a true redemption arc, or just a strategic rebrand?
