The singer recently opened up about her motivation.

“A lot of things have shown me that I’m here for a reason, I shouldn’t give up, I should keep going. One of those moments was my graduation day when I received my double platinum plague for Phakade Lam. It made me think a lot because, at some point, I thought I would fail and be required to repeat my fourth year and not graduate,” she said.

Mom says she’s been ignoring cyber bullies, though that was not the case at the start of her music journey.

“When I began in the game, I used to cry every time something negative was said about me on social media. Most of the time that happened, I’d be home, and my mum used to say ‘Moh, out of 10 people, nine are showing you love, and this person is here to crush your soul and you let them win? Just delete that comment and show the people who are giving you love the same love.”

“So, the moment I accepted that not everyone would love me, I learned and that helped me. I even have a song titled Uyazkhohlwa because at times we tend to forget who we are. We need to go back to the mirror and remind ourselves who we are. I should stay true to myself,” she added.

Lerato is popularly known for her roles as intern Dr Luthuli on Durban Gen and Mpumi Cele on Lingashoni.

She shared with Daily Sun that buying her first house felt amazing as growing up, she had to share a bedroom.

“It feels liberating, especially because I am a young lady who grew up in KwaMashu in my granny’s house, where I shared a small bedroom with my mother and two sisters. So, I’ve always wanted to have my own space. Even when the odds were against me, I kept pushing and praying that God grants me this wish,” she said.

Lerato added that she had to buy a house as she got tired of renting a place that she could not renovate or decorate.

“Also, the complex I was staying in was too big with a lot of people, and I was uncomfortable to even take a walk because of my anxiety. And, people just seeing where I live because they would guess on my TikTok comments made me uncomfortable and unsafe – almost like I had no privacy,” she said.

However, she admitted that she had challenges negotiating a good price and not understanding some things during her meetings with attorneys. But she encouraged people to go after their goals.

You must be SIGNED IN to read comments”.

“You have to see it; believe it and you’ll definitely achieve it. Save money; attorneys are expensive. Having a good budget and the discipline to live within your means is also important. But most importantly, please pray. God hears you and answers all prayers. There is so much I still want to achieve before 25. If I had to begin unpacking it, people would think I’m crazy. But I believe in God so much that I know all is possible,” she concluded.

In a dramatic twist, popular businessman and award-winning DJ Tira has dismissed a chilling prophecy predicting his death in a car accident. The prophecy, delivered by self-proclaimed Zimbabwean prophet Obey Tichafa Mukanhairi, has left social media users reeling.

 

 

 

 

Mukanhairi, known for his controversial predictions, recently took to Twitter to announce that both DJ Tira and fellow South African DJ Maphorisa would meet their demise in car accidents.

The rapper endured injuries and spent several weeks in the hospital.During a live Facebook session, Mukanhairi stated, “Two artists who are in the track of accidents are DJ Maphorisa and DJ Tira.

In an interview with ZiMoja, he expressed his unwavering faith and trust in God. “I pray and I will continue praying as I always have. There is one God, and I trust in him, so I won’t panic and live my life in fear,” DJ Tira said.
