Burning the Past: Kefilwe Mabote Burns Her Versace Clothes in Bold Statement of Faith
In one of her Instagram Stories, she shared a video of herself burning her Versace items, particularly those featuring the luxury brand’s iconic Medusa logo

Kefilwe Mabote Responds to Criticism Over Burning Versace Clothes
Her video sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with netizens questioning her decision to burn her Versace clothes.
In an Instagram post, Kefilwe Mabote clarified why she chose to burn the items instead of donating them to charity.
“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 this with care and understanding.
The decision to burn these 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.
This journey has taught me that the spiritual realm operates on legalities, what we allow into our lives can give access to things we may not even realize. These items were open doors, and removing them was part of reclaiming my spiritual freedom.
I share this not to condemn anyone but to encourage reflection. One day, God willing, I will share more of this journey in detail, but for now, I hope this helps answer your questions with love and understanding.”
