Gogo Maweni: The Sangoma Who Turned Spiritual Power into a Million-Rand Empire

In the world of modern African mystics, few names shine as brightly as Gogo Maweni. A traditional healer, reality TV star, and also an entrepreneur, and now a proud mother of twins, Maweni is rewriting the rules of what it means to be a sangoma in the 21st century.

Makgotso Mofokeng born in Sandton, Johannesburg, She is far more than the crystals and candles seen on her Instagram feed. With an academic background and international exposure, she’s combined spiritual calling with sharp business savvy amassing an estimated R20 million net worth. Her booming herbal and spiritual wellness business has made her a household name in South Africa, especially among those seeking both ancestral healing and lifestyle inspiration.

But her journey hasn’t been without drama. From public feuds to high profile baby daddy scandals and even a brief stint behind bars, she’s handled controversy with unapologetic boldness proving she’s not one to be silenced or sidelined.

Most recently, Gogo Maweni has captured hearts again this time not with spells or rituals, but with joy. On 19 July 2025, she welcomed twin daughters with her husband, Sabelo Mgube. The couple shared emotional moments from the hospital on social media, showing a softer, more maternal side to the often fierce and fearless healer.

Whether she’s on television, TikTok, or in a consultation room, Gogo Maweni is a force who cannot be ignored. With her growing family, business empire, and cultural influence, she continues to shape how traditional healing meets modern fame and does so with unmatched energy.

One thing is certain: Gogo Maweni’s magic is only just beginning.
