Which Craft Podcast
Hosted by Which Craft
A South African podcast where a host and a resident traditional healer dissect witchcraft, spiritual practices, and expose fraudulent healers.
This is a co-hosted talk show that serves as a public forum on modern South African witchcraft and spirituality. One host, Velabahleke (Sabelo Mgube), plays the role of the inquisitive layman, while his co-host and wife, Gogo Maweni, provides expert analysis as a practicing sangoma. They dissect everything from spiritual cleansing and bewitchment ('isichitho') to controversial topics like ritualistic killings and fraudulent healers. The show often features guests who share personal, sometimes harrowing, supernatural experiences, which the hosts then analyze.
“The show's unique dynamic comes from its co-hosts: a layman interviewer paired with a practicing sangoma who critically analyzes claims from an insider's perspective. Unlike shows that accept supernatural stories at face value, Gogo Maweni often points out 'loopholes' and inconsistencies in guest accounts, lending a layer of expert skepticism.”
Who hosts this show
Which Craft Podcast is co-hosted by Sabelo Mgube and his wife, the well-known traditional healer (sangoma) and reality TV personality Gogo Maweni. Gogo Maweni, whose real name is Makgotso Lee-Anne Makopo, is a certified sangoma who initially resisted her spiritual calling, even moving to the US, before embracing it to heal her son. She is now a prominent media figure and entrepreneur, while Sabelo, who refers to himself as 'Velabahleke the king', runs an events and shuttle service business. The podcast serves as a platform for them to educate and discuss the realities of South African witchcraft and traditional spirituality.

What you'll be asked on this show
Velabahleke facilitates the narrative, using a mix of audience questions and his own curiosity to probe the guests, often feigning misunderstanding to elicit clearer explanations. Gogo Maweni acts as an expert analyst rather than a traditional interviewer; she listens intently to a guest's story, then interjects to cross-examine details, question the logic of the events from a practitioner's viewpoint, and identify potential 'loopholes' or signs of fraud. They typically allow guests to narrate their experience at length before the detailed questioning and analysis begins.
The format is a mix of co-host discussions, interviews with guests sharing personal stories, and Q&As using audience questions. The male host, Velabahleke, is known for his elaborate and poetic Zulu praise-poem introductions ('izithakazelo'). The production has a distinct style, with glitchy, fast-paced video intros and a casual, conversational tone that can shift from playful banter to serious analysis.
