Gogo Manzini is going to Turkey to get a new body.
SANGOMA buys new body.
Celebrity Sangoma Gogo Tyra Manzini to pay over R310 000 for a new body.
Gogo Manzini, who is a transgender woman, will head to Turkey to get reconstructive surgeries, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose job), fox eyes and breast augmentation.
The sangoma from Secunda, Mpumalanga, opened up to Daily Sun about going under the knife and why she wants to do it.
“The main reason is so I transform and change the way I look completely. That doesn’t mean I hate the way I look now. But I had a dream of looking a certain way. The time hadn’t come for me to do this because these are expensive procedures.
“I wanted to sort my life, have houses and cars and everything would be paid off. I’m a transgender woman I want to look more like a woman. Also, I’m okay with my sexuality. It doesn’t mean I want to be a woman. I just want to doll myself up. A person is like a house, you fix them,” she said.
Gogo Manzini revealed she wants to do more surgeries.
“There were more procedures I wanted to add, but my doctor said that was too much. I had to show him the complete look I wanted, and he said it would be too much. But it’s nothing major, the only big surgery we’re doing is the tummy tuck.

“I’m going back for more later this year after I’ve recovered. One major surgery at a time.”
Asked if idlozi would be able to recognise her after doing so many surgeries and changing her appearance, Gogo Manzini believes they would.
“Idlozi is spiritual and it’s inside you. How you look has nothing to do with that. It doesn’t recognise you by looking at you. Also, I’m not changing my sexuality, not removing my private parts.
“What if I get into a car accident and my face is rearranged, will they not recognise me? They knew you before you were born and know you anywhere,” said Gogo Manzini.
She will take footage of her journey in Turkey.
“I’ll be documenting the whole journey, including my healing on my YouTube channel,” she said.
However, other izangoma disagree with Gogo Manzini’s stance on whether idlozi would recognise her, or not.
Gogo Muntu Segage, co-ordinator of the Traditional Healers Association in Ekurhuleni, said she’s never heard of such before.
“Haibo, this is being a fake sangoma. In ubungoma, a spirit of a person gets inside you naturally. If a gogo chooses me, she’s in me. She controls me and shows me what I need to do, how to heal people and everything.
“When I change myself from the gogo and add to myself, who am I? The gogo is no longer there. You can’t change yourself as a sangoma. That can’t happen unless you’re a fake. What she’s doing is dangerous. It’s just fashion, it won’t help her,” she said.
Gogo Solly Mathebula said the surgery would be problematic.
“That’s not allowed. If she goes and does those procedures, her dlozi won’t know her anymore.
“Edlozini there’s no change. You can’t control idlozi. I could never change my eyes. Idlozi knows me as I am. Once uthelwa ngenyongo, they introduce you to amadlozi, how will we reintroduce you again, if you change? That can never happen,” he said.
