Mzansi Reacts To Boity’s Ancestral Name

Boity Thulo has revealed her ancestral name and tweeps had lots to say about it.
It is no secret that the rapper is a sangoma who accepted her ancestral call in 2016. She has however focused on her career and admitted that she was not a practicing sangoma just yet. However that doesn’t stop her from talking about it.

The reality show star recently announced that she her fans could now refer to her as “Gogo Nomakhwezi”. The name which has Zulu origins left tweeps questioning how she got the name since she is Tswana.

You can officially refer to me as Gogo Nomakhwezi. Thokozani. 👏🏾🕯✨🤗👑

Boity has been training to become a sangoma since 2016 and she told Glamour recently that her ancestral journey is very personal.

“Yes I did go thwasa but I’m not going to practice as a sangoma. This is a very sensitive matter that I don’t want to talk about in the media. It’s a personal matter and way too deep to be reduced into a celebrity gossip in the newspaper. It’s a secret. It’s so much deeper,” she said.

Everything in her life seems to be doing well including her alleged relationship with Maps Maponyane who she has been spotted with a few times, fueling dating rumours.

The rapper also launched a perfume Boity Pink Sapphire a few weeks ago.
