A South African gogo has taken social media by storm after revealing the hilarious and chaotic aftermath of a "miracle" healing session with controversial pastor Shepherd Bushiri. The candid interview, shared on Instagram by user @chris_madonsela on 11 June 2026, features the elderly woman visiting a local podcast studio to share her views on illegal immigration and religious exploitation.
During her podcast appearance, the gogo shared his views about the highly publicised illegal immigrants protest scheduled for 30 June 2026. While she voiced her support for the upcoming march, she noted that her biggest grievance lies with the spread of false churches established by foreign national pastors who claim to possess miraculous healing powers. To drive her point home, she shared a personal and unforgettable story from her own past involving the famous and controversial leader, Shepherd Bushiri.
The broomstick miracle
Recalling her trip to Bushiri's church in Pretoria, the gogo explained that she used to travel all the way from Orange Farm, waking up as early as 4:00 AM to attend the services. During one particular session, Bushiri laid hands on her, told her she was healed, and threw her crutches away. Gogo revealed that the next day, she woke up unable to walk. She had to rely on a household broomstick to shuffle around her home while forcing her child to run down to the local clinic to beg for a new pair of crutches.
