Moja Love’s reality show “Fake Gobela” exposes Letoya Makhene as a fraudulent healer.
“Fake Gobela” is a reality show that tries to expose traditional doctors who are either fraudulent or do not keep the promises they make to the people they serve.
Kabelo Mpongo, one of Makhene’s ex-initiates, went to the show looking for aid after not receiving any from Makhene.
The popular South African singer and actress also works as a traditional doctor. Makhene is well-known for her performance as Tshidi in Generations: The Legacy.
It is stated that the 39-year-old actress did not carry out her obligations as a typical doctor. Mpongo alleges that the two weeks he spent at Makhene’s initiation school did not prepare him to become a traditional healer, and he wants his R2,800 back.
Makhene is known to charge R10,000 for initiations, but Mpongo could only afford R2,800. He paid R1,300 to join the programme and an additional R1,500 for traditional activities that were required at the time.
Makhene denied defrauding Mpongo, claiming that initiates would not be able to get any lessons in two weeks because being a traditional healer takes longer.
X users came to the defence of Makhene with some saying that they think Mpongo was sent by Makhene’s ex, Lebo Keswa, to try and ruin her reputation after their messy split earlier this year in June.
Makhene and Keswa’s split got very messy and they both went to certain lengths to try and ruin each others reputation’s by insulting each other online and throwing accusations.
Makhene has refused to pay the money back, saying Mpongo knew where to find her.
