Lasizwe's heartbreaking Mother's Day post

Awkward Date host Lasizwe Dambuza shared a heartfelt post about his late mother. Mother's Day was a grim reminder of his late mom, and he poured his heart out on the post.

"Shoutout to "us" that made it through today. A day that is supposed to be celebratory towards one woman who gave birth to "us". But for "us", today is just a painful reminder that our "mothers" are no longer with us in the flesh," he wrote.

Lasizwe said, although some people celebrate the day in their honour, it is not the same as having their moms around.

"Yes, we can celebrate them and thank them, but the feeling of seeing them excited to be pampered or receiving gifts and flowers is all an illusion. Life really did a number on me when my mother passed on. It is painful, and that pain does not go away. You just learn to live with it," he said.

In 2021, Lasizwe paid tribute to his late father. Check out Lasizwe's Instagram post here.

The successful content creator was a guest on DJ Sbu's podcast, The Hustlers Corner, in 2024. He spoke about how his mother passed away, saying she had accompanied him to the barbershop to get a haircut. In 2016, Lasizwe was preparing for his matric dance, and he revealed that his mom spent her last money to make sure that he had a great day. He described the day as "weird" as she died from a heart attack that very day.

Lasizwe looked back on the painful day as he witnessed her take her last breath.

"I was cutting my hair and when I looked back at her on the mirror, she collapsed. I saw her take her last breath," he revealed.

Shmartyy expressed:

"Ohh hini @lasizwe. Mommy is watching over you. There's been there and always will be. You might be surprised that she is the one with the biggest smile in heaven because she can look down and say, "there goes my son"."
