The traditional healer said that it was her desire to consult for free or at a minimal price, but her ancestors wanted otherwise. Taking to Instagram to explain, she said:

“Sometimes I wanna help for free. Sometimes I wanna reduce the price for consultation to R5.00 but Akuvu. I just can’t boGogo. Bo Mkhulu. It’s not me. It’s them. Those who gave me the gift to help.”
