Businesswoman and former sangoma-turned-pastor Gogo Skhotheni, real name Tumi Motsoeneng, got baptised over the weekend.

The former sangoma, who made headlines in April when she preached at a local church, caught the attention of Mzansi on Tuesday, 6 May, after a video of her being baptised was shared on social media.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE on Tuesday, the popular pastor said she remains committed to her new journey despite the backlash she received from social media.

Skhotheni, who also received criticism from her initiates, also shared that she's 10 times ahead with her mental health, so the criticism doesn't break her.

The reality TV star reveals that she's not changing her stage name, Gogo Skhotheni because it's good for business.

Entertainment channel Mdnnewss on X, shared a video of the podcaster and DJ getting pabtised in a river.

Did Gogo Skhotheni open her own church?

In more entertainment news, Briefly News reported in April that the former sangoma, Gogo Skhotheni announced plans to open a church shortly after resigning from ubungoma, marking a new chapter in her spiritual journey.

The controversial media personality's decision to convert to Christianity has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans questioning her intentions and others accusing her of exploiting vulnerable people for financial gain.

Her recent viral video of delivering a sermon in church, alongside criticism of her attire, has further fueled the debate about her authenticity.
