Gogo Nonkolomba and Carol Motolo crack the spiritual mystery on his jacket

In a chat with Briefly News, a spiritual teacher on TikTok and clairvoyant, Gogo Nokolomba, explained that ancestors communicate in different ways whether one has a gift or not. Therefore, he could have been instructed to design his jacket as a symbol of remembrance:

"Specific ornaments/garments can bring them (ancestors) close to us. For example, a rosary worn by a Roman Catholic doesn't necessarily it carries God, Jesus and Mary, but it's the remembrance of.

"The same goes with our garments, our guides instruct us on how to make certain things for them."

Meanwhile, a popular spiritual healer on X, Carol Motolo, drew important lessons from Black Coffee's tribute for readers about the beauty of united ancestors and acknowledging them at all times:

"He seems to have broken the separation wall many Africans have with their ancestors but rather walks with them and connects and understands their presence. He has allowed himself to recognise their presence and celebrate it.

"Both his maternal and paternal grandmothers are very active in his life as guides. This is his way of acknowledging that and showing us that they are forever a part of him and he appreciates the sacrifices and blessings they have contributed in making him the man he is today."
