YouTuber Lasizwe Dambuza’s good deed hit a bump in the road after he posted proof of it which divided tweeps. 
On Tuesday, the “Lasizwe: Fake It Till You Make It” reached out to his fans in these uncertain times and asked those in need to send their electricity meter numbers.
Following this, Lasizwe posted a screenshot of the R100 electricity voucher he sent including the caption: “To everyone I bought electricity for, Please use it wisely.”
The coronavirus pandemic has heightened uncertainty over finances, relationships and employment among others.
As a result, many people have developed feelings of anxiety and fear. That being said many people find refuge in music as a way to relax and relieve the stress.
In a bid to encourage fellow South Africans during these difficult times, local musician and tradition healer Letoya Makhene is spreading the message of hope and healing through her new song, “Ngihawukele” which loosely translated means “Forgiveness or Pardon.”
Taking to her Instagram page, the former “Generations: The Legacy” star shares the powerful message to the nation, she wrote: “ This song is about healing…To every South African that is feeling hopeless, discouraged or helpless…this song is for you. God and the ancestors are watching over us and we shall all overcome. Love & Light “Ngihawukele” is a common chorus among izangoma or traditional healers. Seemingly, the song has received a warm reception, judging by the messages on Makhene’s timeline.
Instagram user Nkosazana Kagogo said: “Am listening to it right now ingumlilo. thank you. mbokodo”
Another user, Jamani Khanyisile commented :”Wow nice song sisi #ThokozaGogo. I love that u are proud of being Makhosi . Heal us sisi we are here to Support u.”
“Thank you…a much needed massage, ” added another Instagram user who goes by the name Angel Shelembe.
