Mabote explained that she decided to burn the clothes because the bible said such items are “accursed.”
A popular South African media personality, Kefilwe Mabote has opened up on why she destroyed her expensive designer clothes.
She opened up that she reached the decision after dedicating her life to Christ.
The media personality recently caused a stir after sharing a video of herself burning her designer clothes.
Many had criticised her for burning the clothes instead of dashing them to the needy.
In a new Instagram post, Mabote explained that she decided to burn the clothes because the bible said such items are “accursed.”
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.”
