'That season had to be won by a child of iDlozi to make people aware of our ancestors,' said Mpho wa Badimo
“Even me taking snuff on the show was looked at as something dirty, and it was also our own black youth who were saying those things. It was very sad to hear.”Mpho Wa Badimo said the negativity she was getting that was mostly from black youth was the most painful in her journey as a contestant on BBMsaid there were certain things she could not do in the house as a “child of the ancestors”.
“I really believe it was not by coincidence, I went there to represent a black child who walks with elders. I had to protect the sacredness of the community I stand for. “I went in there to show people that African spirituality is freedom. It will not box you or cage you as long as you know who you stand for and because, if really we do not want to believe what we are, then I believe we shouldn't walk around with our surnames — we should use our names.”The mother of one said African spirituality is not limited to traditional healers. In a broader context, it's in the bloodline.
