"Dear Jwarkazi. Happy Heavenly Birthday! As we remember your special day, it also marks a year since we said our goodbyes. Your love surrounds us still, and we miss you more than words can express.

The news of their mother's passing took its toll on the sisters, who told ZiMoja at the time that they were battling to process the news.

A friend spoke on their behalf, saying that they were battling to accept the death.

"Neither of them are okay. Their mother meant the world to them. They only lived to please her. Her death truely has been hard to accept. We cannot share details, but the girls are not doing okay."

Blue broke her silence but was too emotional to delve deeper:

"I am very heartbroken. It is honetly too soon. It is not a good time. We are still processing the news."

They spoiled their mother rotten in 2016 when they built her a home. "We worked hard in silence and trusted in no one but God. Some said, 'How did you girls do it?' Some even said that the house looks like an RDP house. But you know what? It is a dream come true for us because we never had it, and also because we had done it ourselves.”

That same week, they shared photos of their brand-new cars. Blue captioned the photos, “Lord, we are humbled by your Grace.”
