“All of a sudden Tom, D*ck and Thandi is having a calling…I’m just gonna relax and watch the liars play themselves out. The ancestral lashing will be unavoidable. JHB folk will bite anything, even shit that can’t be bitten or faked. Yonke into bafuna ukuyendza “fashion”,” he tweeted.

Another social media user, questioned Masechaba about her decision to be transparent about the traditional rituals she performs. Masechaba responded by saying that, just because it’s sacred, it doesn’t have to be a secret.
