The arrest has caused a stir, particularly among netizens who are used to Maweni’s bold public persona as a “powerful” gobela. One Twitter user, @FinestZungu_, mocked her abilities, asking, “Why doesn’t she turn into an orange since she is a powerful Gobela?” The user’s post quickly went viral, with others joining the chorus of playful jabs, poking fun at the gap between her spiritual claims and her reality. The joke centered on Maweni’s frequent boasting of her powers, leaving many to wonder why she couldn’t “transform” and avoid the consequences of the law.
