She said the pain is too much.
"I know I’m strong but no one prepared me for this," she said.
The star added that she doesn't know how she will carry on without Teekay.
"How do I go on without my friend, my brother, my kids uncle, my mothers child? How do I get on that stage without you? Kodwa ke kulungile makuvume wena Jehova [ However, it is well if God has allowed]. Rest In Peace Ngwana mme I will always carry you in my heart," she wrote.
The memorial service is set to be held in Ga-Rankuwa on Thursday, 27 January, from 1pm until 3pm.
