Boity Thulo heeded her call to become a traditional healer (sangoma) with a witty tweet. “Peeps are gonna have to get used to seeing me take snuff in public, hey. The stares are wild.”
Her bold proclamation was met with diverse responses, with some of her million viewers calling her decision to fulfil her ancestral vocation as a social media stunt to prop her status. Since then, she has assumed the title Gogo Nomakwezi.
In accepting her new role, she followed in the footsteps of other stars, including Buhle Mda and Letoya Mekhane. The media personality has however maintained her previous personality, despite her new spiritual label. She has however upheld a unique lifestyle, always interacting with her fans through her public exhibition of beauty and versatile persona.
A Sangoma in South Africa is a highly respected healer, entitled to diagnose, prescribe and often perform rituals to heal clients physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. The training requires humility for ancestors. And those who religiously follow Boity are definitely poised to get one of the above treatments, and those opposed to him will never be spared her backlash.
