I’ve always thought taking your life is an indication that your sanity is being held hostage by what you going through and you need to negotiate your sanity out of captivity and it’s not easy. IT TAKES A LOT for someone to kill themself, it’s not coward behaviour. RIP man

Twitter Influencer’s Death Sparks Mental Health Conversation on Twitter

Here are some of the reactions;

So sad man, most of us are just hanging on by a needle thread hoping that one day things are gonna turn around for the better but hey don’t, it sometimes gets to a point whereby even talking about it doesn’t help but we keep on keeping at it. May this man’s soul find peace.

Around this time last year I was battling through exactly this… I was ready for everything except my siblings’ hurt, one of them found his way to me and stayed with me until healing came. 
hope Takudzwa has found peace and rests

Not coward behaviour indeed 
a feeling beyond sadness and stress….it takes over your mind and body
The cloud of suicide keeps on growing
@Mun_kae;
Sometimes the idea of dying is more comforting and peaceful that the idea of waking up everyday coz life is too loud and its hard to open up to everyone coz you feel like they dont understand but guess what we all do we have just found something to hold on to
@MomzaEmtEEfan;
Suicide is for cowards not the other way around. Be brave and face your challenges with a stone heart taking your own life is never an option. I will never respect anyone who takes their own life because it does not hurt them but the people they leave behind
