South African sangoma Gogo Maweni turned heads this week after posting a home workout clip that she likely hoped would silence her critics. Instead, it only gave them more ammunition.

The video, shared on X on 11 November 2026, shows Maweni jogging on a treadmill inside what appears to be a living room, complete with decorative wall art and a dreamcatcher in the background. She wore form-fitting gym wear that showed off her figure, while a motivational voiceover played in the background: "Just stop saying what can't be done and do what needs to be done. Because without discipline, you won't get far."
