She would often vent about her unhappy life to a friend who was also going through the same thing. After almost making it to a decade with her husband, she called it quits.
Lilly took off the makoti attire that aged her and invested in clothing typically worn by unmarried women her age. The transformation amazed many online, as she looked much younger and happier.
South Africans applauded her decision to leave the miserable environment and take her power back. Some people who had been following the trend wondered what the men were doing to their wives that they looked worn out during the marriage.
Lilly captioned the now-viral post that she posted on Wednesday:
“I just had to hop on.”
