Here are 5 things you should know about sangoma Gogo Maweni, who has been with Orlando Pirates’ Thabo Rakhale, SK Khoza, and Sundowns’ Siyabonga Zulu.
Reality TV star Lee-Ann Makopo, also known as “Gogo Maweni,” is a traditional healer (sangoma) who is known for using “muthi” on her ex-boyfriend, former Orlando Pirates player Thabo Makhale. She has two baby daddies, former Mamelodi Sundowns player Siyabonga Zulu and former The Queen actor SK Khoza.
Here are 5 things you should know about the traditional healer:
GOGO MAWENI IS FROM GAUTENG
ZAlebs says that sangoma Gogo Maweni is from Sandton, Gauteng, and that her reality TV show Izangoma Zodumo, which shows how she lives a luxurious life, made her famous.
WHO ARE HER EX-BOYFRIENDS AND BABY DADDIES?
Reality TV star and mother of three Gogo Maweni is known for making controversial comments and having unusual pets, like snakes. She is also said to have used “muthi” to end the soccer career of her ex-boyfriend Thabo Makhale. People on Twitter have also said that she ended the careers of her baby daddies, SK Khoza as an actor on The Queen and Siyabonga Zulu as a soccer player at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Twitter user @uSivuyisiwe’s response to SK’s wild behaviour raised eyebrows as she wrote: “His baby mam said “If my kids don’t eat no one eats” and its been downhill for SK since then and shame umsebenzi wakhe uyancomeka [she’s doing a great job]”
WHY SHE USED MUTHI ON EX-BOYFRIEND THABO MAKHALE?
On Gigi Lamayne’s podcast Point of View, TV star Gogo Maweni said that she used “muthi” to end the soccer career of her ex-boyfriend Thabo Rakhale at Orlando Pirates.
Her second baby daddy, soccer player Siyabong Zulu, was reportedly fired from Mamelodi Sundowns in 2019, and his family said it was because of his baby mama.
Maweni said she was heartbroken when former Orlando Pirates player Thabo Rakhele dumped her for being a sangoma a few years ago and that his career at Pirates ended because of the “muthi” she used.
Iharare said that after Gogo Maweni gave traditional medicine to Thabo, the footballer was always on the bench and had trouble making the Pirates’ starting lineup.
The dribbling wizard had trouble getting regular playing time, and the club let him go in 2017. He then signed a permanent deal with Chippa United.
SHE IS AN EDUCATED SANGOMA
Maweni is a well-educated woman who went to St. Teresa High School for her primary education. After that, she went to Manhattanville College and then The University of Johannesburg.
The magazine also says that, in addition to being on TV, she runs alternative and holistic health services for Gogo Maweni Chakra Online, which is a herbal store.
THE REALITY TV STAR IS MARRIED
ZAlebs also says that she is happily married and that her husband, Sabelo Magube, is an entrepreneur and social media influencer who runs a business called Velabahleke events.
