    I also grew up at an orphanage . Its so good to see the world talking to us about our lives too and not only focusing on the orphanage as an institution disregarding the little helpless humans that exist in that space, when I left the orphanage at 18 I struggled to fit into the outside world, I felt the need to always pick the back seat everywhere. Thank you for this platform🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

      I grew up at one as well, Kids haven and then Makeba Rehabilitation Centre for Girls. The most difficult when leaving the orphanage is adjusting to life on the outside yooh. Getting on a taxi, visiting people, going to a store, walking around so many people on a daily basis, walking to school with a group of people you don't stay with, the fear of being exposed to the outside world and the worst of it all..... Not having access to counseling when you need it. I still get anxiety and always want someone to accompany me everywhere I go to date and I left the orphanage in 2019.

    Till this day I’ll never understand why most families always chooses to support the perpetrators of rape! How can you say a 6year old is lying? Someone who does not even understand what is actually happening. Not to mention there’s proof Hhayi shame this thing buffles me to the core. And it always women! We can do Better as women and as families.. People really grow up in so much unfortunate situations, praying for healing, forgiveness and peace that surpasses all understanding. May God almighty cover everyone going through or went through unfortunate situation. May Grace be upon everyone who needs it right now. God is Able 🙏🏾❤️.

    I'm really disgusted by Mbali's family, did they really believe a 6 year old will lie about such thing? I really hope karma deals with them accordingly, they failed her as a family. I don't get why they keep on fetching her while they fail to protect her. The fact that her grandmother was going to work the following day it's not an excuse why she didn't attend to her, she' s really a disgrace.

    If you want to get away with a crime in South Africa commit a crime against a woman... Even with evidence you'll get away with it it's soooo infuriating now you must live in the same house as someone who sexually assaulted you... How can a six year old lie and I know for sure it was women who told her she's lying we are the worst to each other... Always victim blaming and protecting abusers its sickening...

In 2020 September I decided to tell my mom and everyone but I was blamed and told that besikhwelana ikuphi inkinga. I never wanted him to be arrested I just wanted him to apologize but he made it worse with insult n the family supported him. I'm sorry Mbali ❤
