“We still cannot believe that the talented Lulu Dikana has passed away. She will be missed by many. May her soul rest in peace,” wrote 180 with Bob on KAYA FM.

"Rest in Peace Lulu Dikana. May you have a beautiful journey back home," wrote Boity Thulo.

And as usual Ntsiki Mazwai chose to take the controversial route: “But since we don't celebrate talent BEFORE it dies.......a lot of them probably don't know who she is. S/O to our excellent journalism!”, she wrote.

Sony Music Entertainment will be releasing a formal statement on the matter later on today.
