A recent snake video has South Africans questioning the authenticity of celebrity sangoma Dr Maweni, accusing her of potentially misleading people.
Gogo Maweni Stokes Fire Over Snake Video
In a video that gained attention, Gogo Maweni showed a large yellow python moving across the floor inside a house. Another person, not Gogo Maweni, played with the snake, ensuring it didn’t stray too far.
The video prompted a Twitter user, MZulu wa Limpopo, to claim that the sangoma might be misleading her followers. The tweet stated:
“Gogo Maweni posted this snake with the caption ‘My pride and Joy.’ I don’t know what she wants her followers to think, but this is not her snake. Go to Soweto Snakes Show, Vilakazi Street. You will find this snake and many others in this room.”
