Mzansi is buzzing with drama after a leaked recording of well-known traditional healer Gogo Maweni confronting her husband, Sabelo Magube, went viral. The couple, who had a lavish traditional wedding in July 2023 and are currently expecting twins, are making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
The recording, which has been widely shared on social media, allegedly captures Gogo Maweni instructing her husband to end an affair with another woman. In the clip, she is heard firmly telling Sabelo to cut ties with the alleged side chick, making it clear that she even knows the woman’s whereabouts.
“Tell her that you don’t want to be with her, you don’t want to see her, and I have her fcking address, okay? … and whatever you guys were doing together is over.” The viral clip has fueled intense speculation, with social media users debating the couple’s relationship dynamics and Maweni’s strong personality.
While Gogo Maweni has remained silent on the scandal, Sabelo Magube has spoken out. In a video response, he admitted to the affair but insisted that it happened a long time ago and was a mistake. “We all make mistakes and learn from them,” he said, emphasising that he is now focused on his marriage and pregnant wife.
According to Izidabazabantu, “He shares that the incident happened a long time ago and it was a mistake. He added that we all make mistakes and we are supposed to learn from them. He maintained that he is building a future with his wife.”

However, not everyone is convinced. Social media personality Matthew Lani expressed doubts about Sabelo’s timeline, suggesting that the affair might have been more recent than he claims.
“He appreciates that Gogo Maweni’s husband took accountability, but according to him, Sabelo is lying about the time frame. He added that the baby mama is living in fear, as she doesn’t know what actions the couple would take next.”

The leaked audio and Sabelo’s response have ignited a social media frenzy, with many questioning the authenticity of his statement.
Some social media users found his delivery too scripted, with one person commenting, “Is he reading a news bulletin or something?”
Another user echoed the sentiment, “Why is he talking like he’s reading a story??? Or he’s reading the news or a poem?”
Others speculated that Maweni may have pressured Sabelo into making the statement, with one suggesting, “Well, he may have been forced to do this.”
