Tributes to Lebohang continue to pour in on social media. 

Media personality Nomsa Buthelezi-Shezi was among the celebrities who penned a lengthy post in her remembrance.

“Dear Lebo, words fail me. I’m literally speechless. I have been writing and deleting the fact that we have been planning to meet each other. The truth is you made so me proud when you made it on television. You came strong and unapologetic. Isdudla/big girl with big plans to take over the world, you made big girls proud, you made your voice heard in this body shaming industry. You made it, Lebo. You lived for your grandmother you wanted to build her a castle because she was your queen,” she wrote.
