Former Soweto Gospel Choir member Lehakoe Tladi has broken her silence and is pleading for help to improve her life.
This comes after a video of her intoxicated and in a distressed state, went viral on TikTok earlier this week.
In another video posted on TikTok on Wednesday, Tladi shares her story in the hope of receiving assistance.
She said that after her colourful years with the Soweto Gospel Choir and having her own show in Germany, she lost her job and returned to her home in QwaQwa, Free State.
“I have been home for years now. The help I need is to get a job. I also fell into depression and became an alcoholic, so I need help there as well. I need to get rehabilitated and get back to work.”
Tladi said she is currently living with her mother and sibling, and they are all unemployed.
“All those things got me into a situation where I couldn’t cope anymore,” she added.
