High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke and is often associated with older people. So the news came as quite a shock to many netizens, especially Buhle’s fans.

While she didn’t go into too much detail about the underlying causes of her stress and anxiety, Buhle has often spoken up about healing from past traumas, societal pressures, and her recent break up from socialite Sibu Mpanza as she seeks counselling.

We’re thankful her loved ones and her unnamed best friend were able to be there for support when she needed it most.
