Katlego Danke opens up about her spiritual gift
The actress spoke in an interview about her gift that has elevated her discernment and enabled her to better navigate the entertainment industry.
Speaking on Unveiled with Koketso on 5 May, Danke revealed that she was able to sense spirits, often when she had to perform on stage. When asked what kinds of spirits she was referring to, the former Gomora actress revealed, "Demonic spirits. They would seek me out."
The star went on to explain that she has also turned down several roles and business opportunities due to her gift, emphasising that it has become a major part of who she is.
"This is actually the heartbeat of who you are, and that must govern how you operate in those spaces. I was walking through a prophetic journey without understanding it. I was walking through the senses."
Her interview, which premiered just days before her beloved mother died, sparked vibrant reactions from fans, who expressed admiration for the actress' profound respect for her gift. Read some of the comments below.
Irvinpooe recalled:
"I have worked with her before, and she would literally sit there and just read her physical Bible. There is something profoundly spiritual about her."

"Wow, endorsements, what a lesson. Never thought about it. I have unknowingly been endorsing darkness. I was contemplating coming off X, but it is for lessons like these that I am still here. Now I need to be wary of the content I engage with."

"Having a clean spirit aura makes you see through others."
NkosiPardon added:
"Imagine endorsing darkness consciously in broad daylight. I'm getting chills all over my body."
