While many entered the comments congratulating her on her new venture, others took this as an opportunity to seek employment.

“Lady Du, my contract is ending in September bathulile abelungu ndaba zokuThatha permanent (employers are quite regarding permanent employment)… I will be back job hunting again. I have no experience ngesalon but I am willing to be a cleaner as long as ngine salary nje (as long as I just have a salary),” wrote one user.

Another asked: “Have you filled all the vacancies?”

According to the news and entertainment publication, The South African, Lady Du is no stranger to the beauty industry. In fact, it is reported that she holds multiple qualifications in somatology, after having travelled to numerous countries as a somatologist on a cruise ship before her rise to fame.

Besides her beauty business, she is also a proud author of the book Fame or Business and owns her own construction company.
