Prominent sangoma, podcaster and reality television star Gogo Skhotheni has narrated how her ex-husband abused her.
Gogo Skhotheni, born Tumi Motsoeneng, revealed this in a series of heartwrenching posts on her Instagram stories.
The Ill-Fated Marriage
In January, the sangoma told her social media followers that she had been single for half a year:
“I have been single for six months, and people still think I am in a relationship. Maybe because my break-up with my ex was a mature one. Whenever we are seen together, it’s because of our kids or business, but besides everything.
“We are no longer dating. It’s been a while hle. We stopped following each other on all social media platforms in late 2022. We officially broke up six months ago.”
In April 2024, Zimoja reported that Gogo Skhotheni had reunited with her husband, Monde Shange. A source told the publication that the sangoma had gone through a dark patch during the separation. The divorce did not go ahead.

Gogo Skhoteni Reveals Her Ex-Husband Abused Herd
A month later, Gogo Skhotheni has taken to social media to chronicle the abuse she has experienced at the hands of her former husband, Monde. She disclosed that her ex bashed her badly, even breaking her two iPhones:
“Abuse is a drug. You end up normalising it, but again, thank God I’m alive. I won’t post my face or the scars I had. I have kids to protect. But I’m okay. Both phones [broken] in one month, but [I’m] not ready to talk about it, kodwa. I am safe, thank God.
“Being in the public eye sometimes is hard. When you want to speak about such, you have to think twice because, wow, I have seen other ladies being dragged for such.”
Gogo Skhotheni shared screenshots of her chats with her ex-husband. She was saying Monde treated her like trash and took the abuse lightly, even gaslighting her. The chats show they have had many fights during their marriage.
Sometimes, he would threaten to leave, and Gogo Skhotheni would block his way and hold him. Monde would then accuse the podcaster of abusing him. Monde also accused the sangoma of having anger issues.
