But Mzansi has continued to egg her on, with individuals such as the faceless Good Samaritan BI Phakathi also stepping in a few months ago after meeting with Dlamini in Cape Town.

South Africa continues to rally behind her as she now reportedly prepares to embark on a trip to India for her medical treatment.

But heading online yesterday morning, Dlamini said the trip would be delayed as she wasn't feeling too well.

The tweet read:

"Good morning family, I haven't been feeling well since Saturday and thus also can't travel ... since it limits my chances of being approved to fly.
