Here are some of the responses from Twitter:

The star is all about the upliftment of those feeling the trials and tribulations that is life.

Last year, The Girl From St Agnes star had advice for those anxious about the lockdown.

“Watch and listen to things that will uplift and encourage you and things that will get you to the right frame of mind. Once the mind is defeated, you are defeated  because if you lose your mind what do you have? I want to encourage everyone to look after their minds and that's very important," Makgotso said.
