Lady Du has publicly shared her grief since the passing of her friends. In her recent post, she thanked her husband Andile Mxakaza for being there for her during the difficult time.
"This song describes the man you are. I felt soo warm when I wrote this, till today I still feel the same. Thank you for nursing me, spoiling me, even when I pushed you away because of the pain and you’d force me to speak to me every 2 hours. I thank God for you. I love you myeni wam @andilemx a pillar of strength (my strength), she wrote on Instagram.
The past few days have been evidently difficult on Lady Du, she also passed out at a gig.
Apologizing on Twitter, she said she tried so hard to be strong.
"To the fans that saw me pass out last night, I apologize, I tried soooo hard to be strong, I tried to keep it together. I thought I’d be able to handle that last gig, But I broke down, I don’t know how I’ll ever perform msebenzi wethu. I’m taking some time off! Thank you,” she tweeted.

She has also opened up about being depressed and suicidal.
On a now-deleted Instagram post, Lady Du wrote: "I’ve been through soooo much in my life, I’ve been depressed, suicidal, I survived all that, today as I lie in my bed crying I feel a pain that takes me to a dark place. I feel numb, weak, the toxic environment I’m entering is not good for my heart. I’m crying for my friends, I have to deal with toxic people, still have to smile and act brave. People telling me to ignore everything, how??
"All I know is writing songs and championing God, I pray a lot, I fast, I meditate but I haven’t even done it. Because telling people to pray now has become something else. I will be honest, I am broken, I am in pieces, If this is the price we pay to be In show biz, y’all can close my curtains. God knows my heart. I love hard, I ask all my friends to pray all the time. Today I ask God to clean our hearts."
