This is not the first time Rethabile has faced significant challenges in her life. In 2020, she survived a car accident, and just last year, she bravely opened up about her battle with depression and a previous suicide attempt. The news of her alleged poisoning has only added to the difficulties she has had to endure, further highlighting the immense struggle she has been facing.
As Rethabile’s family and loved ones remain by her side, the entire Mzansi community has rallied together to offer their support and prayers. The outpouring of concern and well-wishes from her fans and the wider public is a testament to the impact Rethabile has had on the music industry and the hearts of many. In this time of uncertainty, the collective hope is that Rethabile will find the strength to overcome this latest challenge and make a full and healthy recovery.
