South African Sangoma Urges Artists to Use Muthi to Protect Themselves

Tyra “Gogo Manzini” Sindane, a well-known sangoma from Secunda in Mpumalanga, has called on South African artists to protect themselves from violent attacks by using muthi. Her call comes in the wake of the murder of Kiernan “AKA” Forbes, who was shot and killed on Florida Road in Durban on Friday, 10 February.

Other artists such as DJ Citi Lyts, Vusi Ma R5, and DJ Sumbody have also been gunned down in recent times. Gogo Manzini believes that more artists will meet the same fate if they do not take measures to protect themselves.

According to Gogo Manzini, the entertainment industry in South Africa is in a state of war, and if artists are not careful, they will continue to die like flies. She stated that the industry is now full of people who are thirsty for blood, and that artists are plotting against each other and engaging in backstabbing.

Gogo Manzini has been studying the entertainment industry for some time, and her findings suggest that many artists will lose their lives due to jealousy. For this reason, she is urging artists to use muthi to protect themselves.

Muthi is a traditional African medicine that is used to provide protection, good luck, and other benefits. It is often made from natural ingredients such as herbs, roots, and animal parts. In South Africa, muthi is widely used for various purposes, including protection against violence.

Gogo Manzini’s call for artists to use muthi to protect themselves highlights the high levels of violence in the entertainment industry in South Africa. The country has one of the highest homicide rates in the world, and violent crime is a major problem.

While some may dismiss the idea of using muthi as superstition, many people in South Africa believe in its power to protect them from harm. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in traditional African medicine, and many people are turning to sangomas and other traditional healers for help.

The use of muthi by artists to protect themselves is just one example of how traditional African medicine is still relevant in modern-day South Africa. While some may view it as outdated or primitive, for many people, it is an essential part of their culture and identity.

Gogo Manzini’s call for artists to use muthi to protect themselves should be seen as a wake-up call for the entertainment industry in South Africa. The industry needs to take measures to address the high levels of violence and ensure the safety of artists and other workers.

In addition to using muthi, artists can take other measures to protect themselves, such as hiring security personnel, avoiding dangerous situations, and being aware of their surroundings at all times. The government and industry stakeholders can also play a role in improving safety by implementing measures to reduce violence and increase security.

Gogo Manzini’s call for artists to use muthi to protect themselves highlights the need for action to address the high levels of violence in the entertainment industry in South Africa. While traditional African medicine may not be the solution to all the problems facing the industry, it is an important cultural practice that should be respected and valued. The industry must work together to find solutions that ensure the safety of everyone involved.
