South African media personality Kefilwe Mabote has shared her reasons for destroying her high-end designer clothes after dedicating her life to Christ.

Mabote shared a video of herself burning expensive designer items, a move that drew criticism from many who argued she could have donated the clothes to those in need.

Addressing the backlash in a recent Instagram post, Mabote explained that her decision was deeply rooted in her faith and biblical teachings.

“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,” she wrote.

“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.”
