During the podcast interview, Mokhethi challenges the traditional belief that ancestors are benevolent spirits guiding and protecting their descendants. Instead, he portrays them as familiar and monitoring spirits, suggesting that they have a sinister agenda.
“Those are not our ancestors, queen. Those are familiar spirits, who have familiarized themselves with our lives. They know who you are, what you want, and what you need because the devil has monitors.
“They are also called monitoring spirits, and those are the same spirits that, when you move away from God like me, are able to manifest in sickness, accidents, and other misfortunes,” Mokhethi explains.

While some listeners commended Mokhethi for his thought-provoking arguments, others were quick to link his perspective to his recent financial struggles and life’s disappointments. The Twitterverse was abuzz with reactions, ranging from confusion to outright dismissal of his views.

@prow_II commented, “We’re not ready for this chat.”
@NneteKeNnete shared, “He made sense on some points but misled the audience on others. Some people are misled by Gobelas stating they need to Thwasa, but some people are genuinely gifted to be a sangoma.”
@Menzi_MrP wrote, “No wonder no one wants to give him a chance anymore, he’s lost his way.”
@OPChairlady added, “This one is very confused.”
@blueEyeBallz questioned, “Lol, haibo this man. So if they are not our ancestors, then who are our ancestors?”
@Ken_cee3 stated, “Everyone is bound to experience bad luck in their lifetime, whether you believe in Christianity or ancestors.”
@NewYearNewMe_30 suggested, “This guy has had a run of bad luck. He needs to man up and stop discrediting amadlozi.”
It’s clear that Mokhethi’s views have struck a nerve, challenging deeply ingrained beliefs and sparking a lively conversation. While his perspective may be unconventional, it’s important to remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if they go against the mainstream.
