“This song is a song of #stopbullying awareness, it is dedicated to Lufuno, one of students, who lost her life because she was called by names and beaten at school,” reads a description of the YouTube video.
Many social media users praised Makhadzi for the song.
"Makhadzi said she wrote muvhili wanga earlier this year because of the treatment she gets on social media. We've been screaming that Lufuno's bullies must be killed, atleast those ones are children, Makhadzi's bullies have 32 teeth, 3 children, a wife and 2 side niggahs. Shuu," a Twitter user wrote.

It’s so sad💔. Especially knowing Makhadzi herself has experienced bullying first hand 💔💔. So Lufuno’s death was probably very much of a trigger to her https://t.co/Wzfn4PJczy
