‘I love my thicker self, my mkhaba, everything’ – LadyDu

Musician Duduzile “LadyDu” Ngwenya recently took to her social media to express her gratitude, her feelings on thick bodies, and the non-material blessings in her life.

The uZuma yi Star hitmaker with a new dance challenge for her current trending song Tjina, reflected on the tranquil point her life is in.

Careerwise, LadyDu has been blooming since gracing the music scenes. She’s also branched into the beauty business, opening a beauty pallor called Wawa Beauty, a name taken from her favourite phrase Wawawe.

Sharing a four second video of herself on her social media, the Tjina hitmaker wrote the following:

“I’m in such a good space, I’m content, God has blessed me beyond measure not only with tangible things but supportive friends.”

She proceeded to share her fitness plans seeing that she had gained weight from her happy era but also noted that she loves being thick.

“I’ll start gym soon shame when the heart is happy zihlobo we gain weight Mara to be honest it doesn’t bother me I’m just doing it for health reasons. One thing about me I love my thicker self my mkhaba everything, loving yourself just the way you are makes you look more beautiful than you think you are ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

She concluded her post thanking those who’ve been part of her journey, adding:

“I’d like to thank everyone that’s been a part of my journey may the good Lord bless you. I’ve felt soooo much love from you it’s amazing.”

She added a bit of humour saying:

“This is a more out of character video of myself I’m posting it to add some light ??????.”
