2021 Off To A Bad Start For Some Celebrities
2020 proved to be a dreadful year for many of our ZAlebs. So much so that 2021 is seen as a year that could possibly treat many better. For some of the celebrities, they start the year off on a sad note, and it’s only day 4.
As we try our best to make 2021 a year that is not a duplication of 2020 and become our best selves, some celebs have to do that whilst having to bare the pain of losing a loved one. For Zodwa Wabantu, she has shared a video of herself drenched in tears after losing her aunt, who according to her succumbed to COVID-19.
“COVID-19 is real” is the message she sent to her followers as she lost her aunt because of the virus. A sentiment that has been widely echoed by many in order to raise awareness and try to make people see the seriousness of the deadly virus.
This morning she shared the news and captioned her video, “My Aunt has Passed Away. Today you are happy, tomorrow you are Sad. Alive today and tomorrow you are dead. COVID-19 is real!”
Many flooded her Instagram comments section to try and find the words to comfort the socialite.
Songstress Berita Soul recently revealed that she contracted the Coronavirus and is feeling much better after her husband Nota Baloyi contracted it in December 2020. Berita shared the news on January 1st saying although she is better than she was when she first showed symptoms, she is yet to regain her sense of smell and taste.
“2020 taught me that nothing is promised. What matters is that in the many lifetimes of 2020 we survived. I spent the last 2 weeks fighting for my life against the novel Corona Virus. I still can’t smell or taste anything, I am not sure when my body will feel the same again.
“Nevertheless 2020 Thank you. Thank you for the ups and the downs. The yeses and the nos. The tears and the laughter. The valleys and the plateau. The trials and tribulations. Every moment counts. I know this for sure because nothing is promised, not even 2021,” she wrote.
Gospel singer Sipho ‘Big Fish’ Makhabane has come out victorious in his battle with the virus. The veteran musician told Sowetan Live that he contracted the virus during a performance in Durban causing him to spend the rest of the festive season under quarantine.
He then warned South Africans to take the virus very seriously especially if they or close people around them have underlying diseases. He also expressed his shock at how people make jokes about the virus and refer to it by calling it names. As a person who lost loved ones due to the virus, he is appealing for SA to be safe and adhere to COVID-19 lockdown protocols.
