A resurfaced video of an explosive confrontation between media mogul Somizi Mhlongo and celebrity sangoma Gogo Skhotheni has reignited a fierce debate across social media.
Fans were treated to a front-row view of a tense standoff between the stars as they discussed, or rather argued over, the treatment of Somizi’s close friend, outspoken content creator Dominic Zaca. The friction reportedly began when Skhotheni made comments about Dominic on her podcast, The Venting, prompting Somizi to step in and confront her during a TikTok Live.
The exchange quickly turned personal, with Somizi questioning the sangoma's views on the LGBTQ+ community and seemingly accusing her of homophobia, and Skhotheni was forced to defend her character.
"I did not bully him, I did not bodyshame him, I didn't do anything. He went on a Live and disrespected me. I wasn't going to stay quiet, so I responded to him."

Tensions allegedly hit a fever pitch when Dominic later teamed up with Gogo Skhotheni’s rival, Gogo Maweni, to drag Skhotheni on social media, prompting her to respond.
"I defended myself because Dominic offended me. Why are you saying I'm homophobic? Why must you decide how I choose to react?"
However, the exchange soon calmed down, with Somizi offering Skhotheni advice on how to manage her emotions and express herself without offending others.
While the clip showed what happens when a misunderstanding gets blown out of proportion, viewers soon picked sides with a heated discussion in the comment section.
