In a lighthearted Instagram post that has sent ripples of laughter across social media, the multi-talented South African personality, Somizi Mhlongo, has shown his humorous side and given a nod to the power of traditional healing, Gogo Maweni over Harry Potter.
The post in question features an image of the renowned South African sangoma (traditional healer), Gogo Maweni, accompanied by none other than the beloved fictional character, Harry Potter. Somizi couldn’t resist making a witty and playful comparison between these two icons in a caption that read, “mawenza mawenzaro mawenziza maweni uyinja dawg,” essentially declaring the powerful stature of Gogo Maweni.Gogo Maweni’s reputation as a traditional healer precedes her, and her spiritual practices and healing abilities have earned her respect and admiration. She’s known for her guidance, her proficiency in assisting individuals with life challenges, and her in-depth understanding of ancestral communication.
On the other hand, Harry Potter, the fictional wizard created by British author J.K. Rowling, is a beloved character known for his magical exploits, using spells, and even taking on dark forces. While Harry Potter’s adventures have enchanted fans worldwide, it seems Somizi’s light-hearted post implies that when it comes to the realm of power, Gogo Maweni may indeed surpass even the magical wizard.
This fun Instagram post comes hot on the heels of the Springboks‘ victorious game against England. South Africans were jubilant after their national rugby team clinched a remarkable win, and Somizi couldn’t help but celebrate with a touch of humor. In a sporting context, it’s a playful reminder that South Africa boasts some of the world’s most celebrated sports teams, and they have their own “sangomas” of sorts who contribute to the nation’s triumphs on the field.

Somizi’s post has sparked laughter, admiration, and playful banter on social media, demonstrating the power of humor in uniting people and bringing smiles during times of celebration. It’s also a testament to Gogo Maweni’s esteemed status and the recognition of the significant role traditional healers play in South African culture.
