This year in May marked two years since she lost her beloved mother. She has experienced the grief of losing loved ones and wants to use her pain to heal others through her new single, Mama. “Though the song Mama, I wanted to show appreciation to my late mom and to show gratitude as I am reaping the fruits of her prayers,” Puleng says. “But the song is to also bring awareness to those who still have their parents and loved ones, particularly their mothers to love them like there’s no tomorrow. Those with broken relationships with their mothers to at least work on their bond. It’s not easy to do this life thing without a mother.

This year has been one bittersweet one for the singer who was involved in a car accident alongside Lizwi, Da Moss, and Malome Vector. She has since been working on her recovery. “Honestly, after the accident, I am not ok at all. I am still trying to find a healing space both physically and emotionally due to the loss of my brothers. Since the accident I’ve been hospitalised it’s only now after 40 days of being admitted I was discharged it’s not easy as I’m still trying to heal some of my injuries,” she says. “My relationship with the guys was so close like a relationship. We considered each other like brothers and sisters. Da Moss known as Musa shot a few of my music Videos. Normally we would meet at that time of shoots, Lizwi and I were staying in the same house, and Malome was staying in Midrand. He would come to us every day.”
