About The Indigenous Corner with Gogo Zipho

The Indigenous Corner with Gogo Zipho is a thought-provoking podcast that delves into the richness of African spiritual, cultural and traditional knowledge. Formerly called Gogo, Have I Been Scammed?, the rebranded platform moves beyond uncovering scams in the spiritual space to explore deeper conversations about identity, ancestral wisdom and indigenous practices.  Hosted by Gogo Zipho Dolamo, a healer, writer and cultural commentator, The Indigenous Corner brings together historians, traditional leaders and spiritual practitioners to unpack critical topics such as land justice, African healing systems and the intersection of tradition and modernity. Each episode is a journey towards reclaiming knowledge, challenging misconceptions and fostering a deeper connection to our roots.  Keywords: indigenous, African, spiritual, culture, traditional

Unpacking the Letoya Makhene incident: The rights and responsibilities of initiates

Letoya Makhene, the former Generations actress turned sangoma, finds herself embroiled in controversy as allegations about her spiritual practices and personal life dominate headlines. Recently she was featured on the Moja Love show Fake Gobela, where one of her former initiates accused her of being a fraudulent traditional healer, adding to the public dispute between Makhene and her soon-to-be ex-wife Lebo Keswa.  The initiate claims his initiation journey under Makhene was abruptly cut short due to alleged abuse by Keswa, leading him to leave Makhene’s home. He accused Makhene of owing him money, arguing he did not receive the training he paid for.  While the personal dispute between Makhene and Keswa continues to unravel publicly, both parties have alleged abuse against each other in various interviews. However, the controversy surrounding Makhene’s practices as a gobela — particularly the accusations made by the initiate — has sparked wider debate in the traditional healing community.  In this episode, host Gogo Zipho is joined by Mkhulu Manzolwandle as we explore key issues in the traditional healing community, such as the rights and responsibilities of gobelas and their initiates and how grievances should be addressed.  Respected as an elder in the traditional healing community, Mkhulu Manzolwandle assists us in discussing various topics, including whether initiates are entitled to refunds if they are dissatisfied with their training, how to bring up grievances with a gobela and the ethics of transferring initiates to another mpande (initiation school).  Gogo have I been scammed? is a TimesLIVE production.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
