Cape Town – South African influencer Kefilwe Mabote recently sparked a social media frenzy when she posted a video of herself burning some of her designer clothes, including expensive Versace items.
In a follow-up explanation, Mabote revealed that her decision was rooted in a spiritual transformation.
She publicly declared that she had found God and felt the need to let go of worldly distractions, including practices like idolatry, horoscopes, and unforgiveness.

Mabote explained that burning the clothes, particularly the Medusa face on her Versace wear, was a liberating act of breaking down idols that had kept her bound.
“Burning the Medusa face was one of the most freeing and therapeutic things I’ve ever done as one of the things of breaking down the idols I unknowingly built in my heart, the very things that distracted me from fully walking with Jesus,” she said.
