It\u2019s a character people! Generations: The Legacy\u2019s Letoya Makhene was forced to defend her life as a real life Sangoma after her controversial character on the popular soapie started practicing witchcraft.<\/p>\n

\"letoya\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It seems the viewers can\u2019t seperate her character who\u2019s using witchraft to protect her family and Letoya, a real life Sangoma. \u201cI am a healer. A child of the gods. The stories I tell on Generations<\/em> are in no way a reflection of my views, but I will tell them to the best of my ability\u201d, she told Move Magazine.<\/p>\n

The actress says her character Tshidi is practicing witchraft, despite the reasons that it\u2019s to protect her family and it\u2019s something she (Letoya) doesn\u2019t want to be associated with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWitchcraft is a negative space and I refuse to put myself in it\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n
