The comments led to a whole discussion where numerous people sympathised with him and shared their own experiences with absent fathers.
“I pray that you find it in you to let it go and redirect your energy. He’ll still tear you apart even in his grave for as long as you allow him to cloud your heart and soul, ” said one Twitter user.
Lasizwe responded by saying: “All the time I try [to] let go and forgive and forget but I constantly relapse.”
