In a video, Khumalo said she wasn't judging anyone but saw the need to chip in and advise the women to stop this fight and respect Isigodlo as they are both spiritual beings.

She said:

"Respect the secret of Isigodlo. Respect the secrets of ancestors. Respect the secrets of Amakhosi. There are things that people shouldn't know that we do in our sacred spaces."

Khumalo further expressed her disappointment in the two ladies and advised them to stop the fights. It wasn't cool anymore, and it was slowly stripping them of their dignity on social media.

She said:

"My sisters, this thing isn't cool. It takes down your dignity of the gift of healing bestowed upon you. At some point, you will see people in compromising situations, something that needs to be hidden at all costs."
