Gogo Skhotheni Revealing Shocking Information About Ubungoma

In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the spiritual and traditional healing community, popular sangoma and reality TV star Gogo Skhotheni has come forward with startling claims about the world of ubungoma — lifting the veil on what she calls “the hidden truths” of modern spiritual practices.

Known for her bold personality and no-holds-barred approach, Skhotheni’s confessions have sparked debate, disbelief, and discomfort, especially among traditional healers who prefer to keep certain knowledge guarded.

During a candid and emotionally charged interview on a local podcast, Gogo Skhotheni — real name Patricia Tumi Motsoeni Shange — delved into a side of ubungoma that few are willing to talk about publicly.

“I’m tired of pretending everything is pure and sacred,” she began.

“There are things happening in the name of spirituality that are misleading people, exploiting them, and damaging the image of our calling.”

Among her most shocking statements was the admission that many newly initiated sangomas are being misled by mentors who are more interested in money and power than actual healing.

“Initiation schools are popping up everywhere,” she said. “And not all of them are legitimate. Some of these gobelas (mentors) are initiating people who were never spiritually called — they’re just chasing a trend.”

This bold claim directly challenges the credibility of a growing number of spiritual practitioners who have built online followings and monetize their services through social media platforms.

Gogo Skhotheni criticized the culture of instant initiation and ‘influencer sangomas’, warning that the commercialization of ubungoma is not only disrespectful to ancestors but also dangerous for those seeking genuine spiritual guidance.

“There are people now using TikTok filters to ‘communicate’ with ancestors,” she said with visible frustration. “We are playing with sacred things, and people are getting hurt because they’re being given false hope, fake prophecies, and empty rituals.”

She also opened up about her own challenges within the traditional healing space — including betrayal, spiritual manipulation, and emotional exhaustion.

“Being a sangoma is not glamorous. It’s lonely, it’s heavy, and at times it feels like a burden. But people think it’s a business model now,” she added.

Gogo Skhotheni admitted to having moments where she questioned whether she should have ever accepted the calling, especially after experiencing envy and sabotage from fellow healers.

Perhaps the most haunting part of the interview was her admission that some sangomas, out of desperation for power or clients, are resorting to dark practices — including summoning spirits they do not understand.

“Some are using spirits of the dead that were never cleansed properly. They’re opening portals that they can’t close. And the spiritual backlash is real — I’ve seen it with my own eyes,” she warned.

Her words have caused ripples across social media and within the spiritual community.

Some have praised her courage for speaking out, calling her a much-needed voice of truth in a space increasingly clouded by ego and deception.

Others, however, have accused her of disrespecting the tradition and airing sacred matters in public.

“She’s breaking the code of silence,” one sangoma tweeted. “Not everything is meant to be shared. This is spiritual betrayal.”

In response to the backlash, Gogo Skhotheni stood firm. In a follow-up live stream, she said, “I would rather be hated for telling the truth than loved for keeping quiet. We are losing the essence of what ubungoma is — a divine calling to heal, not to hustle.”

Beyond the drama, her message has reignited important conversations about the future of ubungoma in a digital age. Should sacred practices evolve with technology and popularity?

Or must they remain strictly within the boundaries of ancestral law and traditional structures? For many, the tension lies in balancing authenticity with visibility.

Some elders within the spiritual community have expressed concern that the new generation of healers is losing touch with foundational values such as humility, patience, and deep training.

Others acknowledge that Gogo Skhotheni may be controversial, but she is also opening doors for much-needed reform and regulation.

Interestingly, she also hinted at plans to launch an initiative aimed at mentoring young sangomas with a focus on ethical practices, spiritual grounding, and accountability.

“It’s time we clean up our own house,” she said. “Because if we don’t, ubungoma will become a joke — and that’s something our ancestors will never forgive.”

In the wake of these revelations, the traditional healing space is at a crossroads. Gogo Skhotheni’s words may be uncomfortable for some, but they are undeniably powerful.

Whether she is hailed as a reformer or condemned as a disruptor, one thing is clear: she has forced the community to look inward and ask hard questions.

And in a world where silence often protects systems of harm, her voice — raw, brave, and unapologetic — might just be the catalyst that ubungoma needs.
