Lady Du has paid tribute to amapiano artists, Sakhile ‘Killer Kau’ Hlatshway and Mongezi ‘Mpura’ Stuurman, in a special way.
Killer Kau and Mpura were killed in a car crash in Rustenburg, North West, earlier this month.
Lady Du decided to honour the amapiano artists with a tattoo. The tattoo is of two birds, two hearts, and a peace sign.
“Peace magents,” she captioned a picture of her new ink on Instagram.

Killer Kau and Mpura both featured on Kabza De Small’s single, ‘Peace Magents’. #PeaceMagents trended on Twitter following news of their death.
Khanya ‘The Voice’ Hadebe, DJ Thando Tot, and TD also died in the head-on collision.

Lady Du was one of the speakers at Mpura’s funeral in Soweto on Tuesday. She says he has left behind a lasting legacy.
At one point, the DJ spoke directly to Mpura’s mother.
“…mama I will tell you one thing, your son chose a career that is going to leave a legacy for you. He is going to still be alive in music.”
Lady Du left mourners in tears when she briefly sang, ‘Umsebenzi Wethu’.

Lady Du and Andile Mxakaza get matching tattoos
Her peace magents-inspired tattoo is not the only new ink Lady Du is sporting these days. Andile Mxakaza revealed on Instagram this week that they got matching crown tattoos.
“There is no me without you. King and Queen,” he wrote. She also showed off the tattoo in a video on Instagram.
“This song describes the man you are. I felt soo warm when I wrote this, till today I still feel the same. Thank you for nursing me, spoiling me, even when I pushed you away because of the pain and you’d force to speak to me every 2 hours. I thank God for you. I love you myeni wam @andilemx a pillar of strength (my strength),” she wrote.
Andile and Lady Du are engaged. He popped the question in August last year after just three months of dating.
Andile decided to upgrade Lady Du’s ring nearly one year later.
