Netizens React to Lady Du Offering Help to a Nappy Thief.

Amapiano singer, Lady Du clears the air about helping the woman who was caught stealing nappies.

Over the weekend, a video of a woman who stole nappies topped the trend in South Africa.

Taking to social media, the hitmaker explained that she sympathized with the woman who stole. She went further to say, if the woman had stolen personal items, she wouldn’t have helped. However, stealing diapers meant a child was in dire need of them.

“Please don’t get my post wrong. I don’t condone theft, but if this was clothes or something that she wanted for herself, I’d understand. I’d like you guys to help me locate this lady, I’d like to buy her Pampers for her child.

“Being a mother I’d never want this to happen to my worst enemy. It is so sad that we as women can humiliate each other like this. It’s tough, and I’m honestly not condoning her stealing ways, but this is so heartbreaking,” she wrote.

Despite giving a disclaimer, this post has mixed reactions. Some accused her of condoning theft while some have praised her and promised to help the woman too.

Lady Du’s response to the accusations.

Amidst the saga happening online, Lady Du shared an update on the situation.

“She has 3 kids, currently traumatised by what happened. We need to help more people I’ll be sending her details tomorrow after I meet with her.”

On the issue of condoning theft, she said she expects that people would do better.

“My issue with all this is how she was humiliated, the staff [members] know very well they need to take her to the back of the store, call for help, and let management deal with her.

“We need to learn more about mental health and stop triggering people into killing themselves by posting their miseries. We all have been through tough times. Let’s be kinder.”

Also, some celebrities have offered helping hands to the woman.
