Prince Kaybee shares his mother's final moments

On Tuesday, 9 September 2025, Prince Kaybee shared a post reliving his mother’s final moments. In a lengthy post, the Children of the South producer questioned God’s existence.

He recalled how his late mother was a devoted Christian who frequently immersed herself in prayer.

“I just wanna discuss God, if he exists. My mother was one of the most faithful people I know, kept the loyalty and faith in her God, prayed on average twice a day, sometimes overnight, because I used to listen to her cry in prayer throughout the night, because my room was right next to hers,” he wrote.

While Prince Kaybee hasn’t disclosed his mother’s cause of death, he shared that in her final days, she was in constant pain and that her sickness left her financially exhausted.

“But oh boy, she suffered. I saw in her eyes how excruciating the pain was; she walked, and I could hear her breathe through the pain in the most difficult gasps through her mouth. She went through financial exhaustion,” Prince Kaybee added.

He questioned why God allowed his mother to suffer in her final days.

“People that love her like me also suffered looking at her go through all that, what kind of a sick God allows all this to happen if he is all-powerful and all-knowing, what kind of a sick plan is at play here?” Prince Kaybee lamented.

The father of two clarified that he wasn’t doubting God’s existence because his mother passed away, but because she died in pain, unable to speak or lift her hand.

“I have lost the oldest person that loved me through ALL my flaws, the ONLY person in this world I can be able to share ANYTHING without being judged, but guess what, she is dead, and for some reason, there's a God that is all-powerful and capable of everything and anything that is orchestrating all this as part of his plan. If she had to die, let her die, but not like this, not to a point she can’t speak or hold her own hand up,” he explained.

In a subsequent post, Prince Kaybee shared that she was due to undergo surgery, saying:

“Today is the day we booked first first-ever surgery consultation that could’ve changed her life, but nooo, God had other plans, she had to die a few days before her surgery after ALL that she went through. MY MOTHER JUST WANTED TO RAISE MY KIDS, MAN. She felt that's the only thing left to do for me.”

How to deal with grief when blaming God

Paula Quinsee, a grief counsellor and psychologist, told Briefly News how to deal with anger when anger at God is part of the pain.

Quinsee shared that when it's difficult to express feelings, one can indulge in small rituals, such as taking a nature walk, lighting a candle, or writing in a journal. She said that with time, anger can turn into self-reflection, leading to a comfortable relationship with faith that allows for healing.

"Some people find temporary rituals like lighting a candle, journaling, sitting in silence, or walking in nature helpful when words and ways to express ourselves feel impossible. Over time, anger can slowly morph into curiosity where we can ask ourselves what kind of relationship with faith feels honest for me now and seek a way forward that feels comfortable instead of forcing a resolution and that healing can take place," Paula Quinsee said.

“Don’t blame God, though. I know how you feel. I lost both my parents. As painful as it is, death is inevitable. She played her part and raised you; it’s your turn to raise others and do as she taught you.”

@Nelisiwe94 said:

“I'm sorry to learn of your mother's final suffering. The majority of Christians, including myself, also lose faith in the face of difficulties. Your mom was faithful to her God, and she's at peace now.”

@BastardZuma recounted:

“That's why I stopped going to church, coz there were so many things I couldn't understand there.”

@SirDavid_Dashe said:

“Condolences to you, my brother 🙏🏽”

@BonganiZuluSA explained:

“Whether you believe in God, or ancestors or are an atheist or believe in a higher power, suffering is inevitable, and death is inevitable. Ancestors are always angry and want slaughtering all the time, God wants a faithful servant and a prayerful soul, yet death and suffering are inevitable.”
