Viewers flooded the comments with grief and admiration in equal measure, with many expressing how happy and lively Lulu seemed in the video. Some noted that she appeared more carefree in this video than in her public appearances with Wicknell. The comments section was filled with messages such as "Oh, she was a girly girlie to those around her" and "She was such a happy girl."

The family of Chivayo's wife, Lulu, revealed that the couple can be buried together as the tycoon had finished paying his dowry in full. They also maintained that they had no objections to how Chivayo's family would want to inter the remains, as they fully gave them autonomy. This development has brought some closure to the grieving process for fans and family.
