Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Media personality Lasizwe Dambuza has always played open cards with his fans.<\/p>\n

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, the YouTube star pretty much lives his best soft life on social media.<\/p>\n

So it came as a surprise this weekend when he disclosed that he had been losing weight due to an \u201ceating disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter, Lasizwe shared with his more than 1 million fans his predicament.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy eating disorder will be the death of me, I have lost so much weight and still losing weight<\/p>\n

\u201cHelp,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

The reality TV star\u2019s diminutive\u2019s figure has never really been a talking point, until now.<\/p>\n

As soon as he fired off the tweet, many of his fans commented with messages of support, while others suggested weigh-gain solutions.<\/p>\n

One fan related to the star and said: \u201c@lasizwei thought I was the only one my weight drops in hours its out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cHave future life shakes on the go. Just mix it with double cream yorghut and water you will be fine\u201d.<\/p>\n

I admire your strength of asking for help when you need it?<\/p>\n

Me and you same WhatsApp group. I’ve stopped looking at my self in long mirror which shows my full body last time I did tjo I cried shame<\/p>\n

Although Lasizwe didn\u2019t go into much detail about his disorder, many suggested that he get the professional help he needs before things started spiralling out of his control.<\/p>\n

\u201cI admire your strength of asking for help when you need,\u201d said another fan.<\/p>\n

The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) also joined the conversation by tweeting their free helpline number.<\/p>\n
