Gogo Skhotheni allegedly scammed a customer

Haibo! Gogo Skhotheni's woes are far from over. The media personality made headlines after resigning from ubungoma and joining Christianity. She was later baptised and was seen preaching in her church. Although she is trying to leave her former life behind, some unfinished business is still following her.

According to a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, by controversial blogger Musa Khawula on 24 May 2025, Gogo Skhotheni's former customer is demanding R50,000 back from the sangoma and DJ after she failed to deliver. The post read:

"A customer demands a refund of R50,000 from Gogo Skhotheni. This comes after the desperate customer ordered and paid for Isigubhu Semali and Gogo Skhotheni has failed to honour her end of the deal and is now refusing to refund the customer."
