Cape Town – South African social media star Lasizwe, real name Thulasizwe Dambuza, has reportedly checked himself into a mental health wellness facility.
Sharing the news on social media, Lasizwe uploaded a video of himself in the facility.
“One thing about me, I am not shy to express how I feel. I have checked myself into a Mental Health Wellness Facility. I haven’t been okay for the past months. I have been so depressed. I have decided to fight this by taking a break and dealing with this 1 on 1,” Lasizwe captioned an Instagram post.

Earlier this year, he deactivated his Twitter account after he was trolled for posting a picture of a part of his body, which he thought would tickle the funny bone but didn’t.
His fans rally behind the star during this difficult time.
Take a look at some of the reactions by Lasizwe’s fans:
Love and light to you
This is not an easy journey but totally worth it. I have experienced it both in private and public.
I love that you put your mental state first and never doubt that it’s not good.
Trust the process of recovery.

Looks like the one I was at beginning of the year. I hope they match you with a psychiatrist and psychologist who get you.
Please attend everything, even the stuff that seems silly. It helps you in the long run.♥️✨
