Thandiswa however, went on to reveal that she and staff only received R20,000 from the Covid-19 relief fund even though they had to just get some groceries with it in April.

She expressed gratitude to countries willing to help musicians during the pandemic, saying at least those artists are not losing their minds worrying about money.
