In a statement issued on his Instagram stories, his followers were encouraged to keep him in his prayers. His team will manage his social media platforms while he is at the facility.

During an interview with TshisaLIVE earlier this month, Lasizwe spoke about issues with balancing his mental health and shutting out the social media critics, and said he finds relief in taking time off to realign himself.

“I haven’t found a balance. I think it’s weird that five years later I still don’t know how to handle trolls and how to allow myself to have peace and sanity. It’s just the element of being human,” he said.
