Johannesburg – Idols SA judge Unathi has taken to social media urging South Africans to stay safe during the third wave of the pandemic the country finds itself in.
In an Instagram post, she said, “LEVEL 4 SEASON 2 Coming from the EC and having been through what we went through last year. It was DEVASTING. GP stay home and take this SERIOUSLY PLEASE. I KNOW YOU WON’T want to hear this BUT DONT attend the prayer sessions, memorials and funerals that are coming. Mentally I would suggest you avoid the online ones aswell because mourning alone and bringing that into your own home is NOT HEALTHY. Working from home comes with it’s own challenges BUT we must ALL make it work, stay home and keep each other alive.”
