MphoWaBadimo also known as ‘the advocate of idlozi’ was introduced to many South Africans through the Big Brother Mzansi competition. The young woman has from the on set came out about her spiritual gift of being a sangoma, even though it is unpopular to do so.

 

 

 

 
Sangomas are mostly perceived negatively by the general public. However Mpho opened up about it even when her survival and win of the competition depended on votes from the public. Be it as it may, with all the challenges Mpho went on to win the Big Brother Mzansi competition and walked away with R2 million.

After the competition she walked away as a millionaire and a mini celebrity. A few media companies have featured her in some interviews and she keeps on to reveal her talent and spiritual journey.

On a video released by Zkhiphani which Mpho also shared on her social media, the young woman gives a review of her spiritual journey. Apparently she once had what she call sangomaphobia (which means she was afraid of sangomas).

She says she understand where people who are afraid of sangomas come from. Having to interact with people of her age Mpho says the sangoma issue played a role and she didn’t like to be side-lined.

“You don’t want to be looked at, just as a sangoma. There is a human inside here, I exist, see me for who i am and not for what i carry. Sometimes people look at that and they already come with their stereotype, ‘oh you are a witch’ only to find out that, I live like you and i have problems like you do.” Mpho said on that interview.
