Somizi Mhlongo took to his timeline to comment on Khanyi Mbau’s remarks regarding the current crop of sangomas.
The reality TV personality referred to new generation sangomas as “urban sangomas” saying that many of them likely don’t have a calling but are anxious. Since her words, several celebrity traditional healers have criticised her, while others have advised her to let individuals pick which faith they wish to follow.
Somizi responded on Instagram to the heated controversy caused by the attractive actress. SomG revealed in his toilet conversation that having a sangoma is no longer a fashion statement, but it is now visible.
He says that nowadays, sangomas are confident in their calling. According to ZAlebs, the Idols SA judge chastised Mbau even further, saying her words were off the point. Watch his video below:
His fans had conflicting feelings about SomG’s statements in the image and video-sharing app’s comment area. Some agreed with him, while others believe Khanyi was correct.

nzanele said: “To be honest I would rather have a generation/nation that deals with anxiety through spirituality, whether church or ubungoma, than substance abuse, alcohol abuse. Also, at least they are believing in “SOMETHING” whether church or ubungoma, that is giving them direction and guidance to me that is healing.”
tyzermandak1boy commented: “Very very true SomSom, let us respect each other’s beliefs.”
salphz wrote: “So true, why are they even bothered by people becoming sangoma it has nothing to do with them. People must just do them!”
mrs_sibeko added: “She’s not wrong to voice out her opinion and doing so she never mentioned anyone one in particular, it was just her view that we should also respect.”
