South African media personality Kefilwe Mabote has sparked conversations after burning all her designer clothes following her decision to become born again.
In a post shared on her Instagram story, Kefilwe addressed questions from people asking why she chose to burn her Versace items instead of donating them.
The media personality explained that her choice to destroy the expensive clothing stemmed from a personal conviction tied to her faith.
She wrote:
“I’ve been getting questions about why I chose to burn Versace items instead of giving them away, and I want to take a moment to explain with care and understanding.
“The decision to burn the items came from a place of conviction. According to the Bible, such things are considered ‘accursed’ (see Joshua 7:13 for context). For example, the image of Medusa represents a Greek god, from the marine kingdom, and as believers, we cannot serve two masters. To give these items away would be to pass on something I no longer stand for, and I can’t in good conscience transfer things that I know carry deep spiritual implications.”
