I’m crying now because can soooooo relate. Both my parents are late and when I graduated last year and got qualified as a lawyer, it was soooo personal. I am a testament to fighting against depression and poverty. You really are an inspiration, sisi. I even remember a time I couldn’t even go home during recess in my first year and I only had a sack of avocados in my fridge. I am proud to say that I’m doing my masters now. I am living the prayers I cried to God about a few years ago. I see your heart sisi. May God continue to see you.
Who else cried when Gugu was narrating the story about her walking to and from helping her mother out in Marabastat? because I did. From her ability to be vulnerable on camera and let us all in into her journey to where she is right now, this lady is so inspiring to so many. Thank you for allowing God to use you and may He continue to bless you and your family with bigger and better things in life because man, oh man, you don't know what more he has in store for you. 🙏
Thank you Gugu for your words of encouragement to a 47 year old single mom that had to move back home because life was showing me flames although I'm employed but finances have me by a choke-hold. Ngiyabonga for reminding me that God is still in the business of performing miracles in spite of our challenges. ❤❤❤❤
One thing that I love about your channel is how freely you show your husband. There’s something so pure about it, especially in our community where we don’t see this enough. May God bless your marriage abundantly and give you many more years . Thank you for sharing ❤
Gugu, I used to think we were rich because my mom was a nurse until a man from Bradlows came with a truck to take back the sofas she was not paying for because she had paid for my boarding school fees. Story of a black child. Thank you for sharing my love and look at us now. Proudly rural but doing much better than our parents. 🙏🏾❤️
This hits home!! Our backgrounds and past experiences don't define us... Soo proud of every little girl who looked beyond the circumstance and still DREAMED!!
Hi Sine, I’m a new subbie working my way back on your vlogs and I just wanna thank you personally for this one. I have a personal issue with following SA UA-camrs because I find most of them unrelatable as I’m from a poor background but trying to work up my life. I am grateful to hear your story because it gave me hope. THANK YOU ❤
The reason I always come back to your channel is because you're authentic and relatable. I love how you own up your truth and not live a lie. Keep it up Gugu! I personally believe you deserve all the good things coming your way. Listen... God is making yol pause on the house project for a reason. It will come and it'll be everything you've ever prayed and hoped for😊.
Sis I came from a skwatta camp and today I’m a whole medical doctor😭😭, I can relate so deeply with your story, I was crying with you. We are so proud of you sis ❤️❤️
When I say I love you I mean it❤ I graduated in 2020 and Im still struggling to find a job, no interviews just rejection emails or no feedback at all😢. My family situation is also similiar to your past at the moment and I cant wait to get over this lowest point of my life and live the life I dream of . I am the first of 6 siblings to complete High School and Tertiary education and I sometimes feel like the pressure is on me to give my family a better life and also for me to be in a better position 🙏 Thank you for always sharing your past struggles and encouraging us that things will get better. I cried so much because of the relatedness 😢. I will be strong, I will get through this and I am tough. ❤ Thank you Gugu❤❤
"The current suffering is nothing compared to the joy that is about to come" can relate to your story as a varsity student. People back at home think we living a lavish lifestyle but there's a lot of struggles behind yet at the end of the day the storms shall turn into something beautiful😊❤you're such an inspiration sis Gugu
There are so many of us (your subbies) who relate to the vulnerable moment you had in this vlog♥Seeing how God has blessed you and answered so many of your prayers, gives us, who believe but are tired hope for a better and brighter future, not only for ourselves but for our parents/families. I love you so much and I thank you for opening up. I pray God continues to use you for the amazing work that he is doing for so many black women in South Africa.
Thank you Gugu. You’re such an inspiration. You have definitely shown me that a situation is never permanent. I was raised by my mom, she struggled and still is struggling to put food on the table and to pay my tuition but I am here now getting ready to graduate and become a Medical Doctor in October. Everyone around me keeps telling me I won’t get a job because of what is currently happening, doctors are unemployed. But I have faith that I will get a job bcz God knows I need this job to take care of myself and my mom. I can’t wait to get to a point where my mom and I talk about our life now in the past tense. Thank you again Gugu. May God bless you. Your word’s have given me so much hope.
Thee most honest and transparent person I've ever seen . Your vulnerability is healing us out here . Now we know we're not alone. Thank you Gugu may God bless you abundantly. ❤
Weeping may only stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning, when God wipes our tears away He really wipes them for sure. Thank you for always sharing with us and being vulnerable with us Gugu💛.
I'm not where I thought I would be at the age of 30. The struggle has been a real journey. Looking at influencers like yourself who are genuine and real inspires a whole lot of us. I have been through the most and currently as much as I am not where I thought I would be by now, I look back and realized that I have overcome by Gods grace situations and obstacles that I thought would be the end of me. Thank you for the reminder. It is not over until God says so. I am still pushing and trusting God.
...Everytime Gugu speaks about her past 🙌🏼I CANT HOLD BACK THE TEARS BUT CRY🥺😭❤️It's how God can turn your tears into Testimonies...Gugu God Loves You Dearly Ma Darling 💐💐💐💐
I cried so much watching this video. This reminded me that I’ve come too far. My childhood wasn’t easy but I made it out of that dark place. Thank God for my granny who protected us with all she could. This wasn’t triggering. It was healing for me. Thank you Gugu for being real. Big girls do cry. It’s healing. ❤
Big girls can cry, cry tears of joy because where we come from, helps us to define where we decide to end up. So the tears can be a celebration of how things have changed for the better. Struggles strengthen us, so celebrate how far you’ve come, even through tears. I bet you that your mom is super proud of you, and that all her efforts were worth it. Blessings to you!
Hearing you talk about your past made me cry. Yho I was never ready for that because I relate to what you went through and your traumas heavily. I used to walk for an hour to my moms work as a cleaner and I would sit at the back and wait for her to finish. At home we used to eat cabbage and rice almost daily or potatoes and rice. Even now I worked hard to get to where I am with the help of my amazing mom and my husband later on but seeing how much my mother works hard brings tears to my eyes. I’m also trying to move to a better place from where we are now which is where I also stayed when we were struggling. Your motivating words inspire me to not give up. You words moved me deeply. Thank you for being authentic because I sometimes compare myself to others and wonder why is my progress so slow.
🥺😭those last minutes of the vlog had me weeping! I'm a new subbie - a month old - and I must confess, you've turned into a fave. Thank you for being SO REAL about your life, mostly for sharing it with us, I've been looking forward to your uploads ever since I became a subbie and this new upload? So profound, telling us about your "growing up" story, the not having your own bedroom part made me so emotional because I can relate. You are such a relatable influencer/UA-camr, please don't EVER change. You deserve all the blessings and good things that are currently happening in your life and may God continue to bless you even more, I know you're going to get approved for your dream house very soon and I can wait for us to be a part of the people who get to witness that blessing with you. You give me SO MUCH hope, and for that thank you, for being you.
Gugu you brought me to tears, my husband and i bought land in 2020 and we haven't even started building yet. i was starting to feel like a failure and asking myself why this is happening to us. I've just started a small business to help him out financially. hearing about your mom's story and how she did her best to assist your dad gave me courage. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. You are indeed an Angel from God. I love you so much💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
You and hubz need to go and speak over that land. Walk over it declaring that you will build your house ( set a date of completion) everything has ears, declare it in the name of Jesus and it would be done. Look for a bible verse to stand on. If you can't go to the land print out the picture of it .
@@NeliseAbigael. thank you so much for your wise words, will definitely take your advice... i will come back to this comment section one day and give you a testimony💌
Gugu you are making us cry now! You worked hard for everything you have and now you are reaping the fruits of your hard labor. I'm 26 and haven't achieved anything I want in life but you motivate and inspire me so much❤❤
Oh Gugu ❤ I’m sending you a virtual hug. I hope the future you’re building for yourself and your family will help you heal from the hurt of your childhood. Also, you’re doing amazing for yourself. We’re literally watching you break generational curse of poverty in your family’s life. May your hard work always be rewarded 🙏
It is okay to cry. I am watching you from Florida USA. It is always emotional looking back and seeing how far we've come. Wishing you continued blessings.
It always amazes me to see how God blesses marriage, especially when the husband takes good care of his family and the wife's heart is at peace. One day you will remember this video while you are at your dream home. Nothing is impossible. You spoke it, You believe it now watch it manifest. God bless you sis❤
You literally taken me from smiling, laughing today to crying with you in this one episode. I watched this with so many different motions and I say you are the most real person on social media. You are so relevant and you heal so many of us. Watching you is healing cause you always do or say something some of us would see as embarrassing but watching you reassured me that I am also where I am because of where I have been. May God be with you and bless your Chanel so you can reach that one person that needs you the most. ❤ You lots
There is a saying "Maybe life is not about avoiding the scars, maybe it's about collecting them to prove we show up"... and sis Gugu through it all you showed up and worked through your way out of all those scars. I am certain your younger self is just remarkably so PROUD of the woman you are today God's blessings ❤❤❤
Gugu😭 your genuiness and your intentionality with your channel shines through. Your testimony is a ministry, you speaking to first borns, the struggles are real but our God is bigger. There is so much I took from this vlog and I have decided to never ever feel sorry for my situation but to work harder and pray through it. Love you can't wait to see the moving vlog ❤
If I could like this video a million times, I would💞 Thank you for your authenticity Gugu, I truly believe that's what sets you apart.. Words are sooo powerful, thank you for imparting life through your words.. May God continue to bless you sisi. We love to see you rise!
First borns go through the most with their parents. Please give us hugs we really need them ❤. My husband and I went through so much last year and God gave us a breakthrough this year. All those tears sleepless nights early mornings… are finally starting to show off. I’m so happy for you Gugu, all your achievements we see them😭.
It doesn't matter how we start but how we finish! Thank you for trusting us with your story! I'm so proud of you and the woman you are becoming on a daily basis!❤❤
Thank you for being vulnerable with us Gugu. Its so refreshing and encouraging. May God show Himself in your lives and give you the desires of your hearts according to His will. ❤❤❤
I loved this SO much. My husband overheard the conversation and was interested AND inspired too. And he never bothers to ask me who am I watching now again. You are truly so authentic and I love it. ❤❤
Not me bowling my eyes out because i relate so much to your upbringing i am in my mid 20s and i already know what you are talking about , having big dreams and making sure that my kids aren't going to live the same life i lived ... This here warmed my heart knowing that it is all going to happen in good time. Congratulations you guys are definitely going to get your dream house , i love love love youuu.. thank you for being vulnerable and so real. This is what we need to watch for motivation and to appreciate humble beginnings' . i honestly cant wait to watch the hauls , cooking editions and more ... here for life .
Yoooh Sis Gugu. You reminded me of my own story, the difference between where I came from and where I am... hard work, determination, prayer, God. Modimo o moholo yoooh. Thank you sisi 😊
Thank you for just being you, your strong, vulnerable, intelligent, beautiful self and for sharing all of you with us. You’ve come so far and should be so proud. You really are a phenomenal woman. ❤
You are so real and that’s what draws us in. A similar sharing session on your “I bought a Merc” vlog is what got me subscribed. You are relatable and so inspiring. It’s so beautiful how life can take a turn for the best. Thank you for showing and reminding us this truth 💚
In a time when everyone is trying to curate a perfect picture with no past but a perfect now captured in a single post/upload, thank you for sharing your story. ❤️ I am certain you’ve touched many with your story and have brought us back to the reality of what life is - it’s about seasons and every one of them has a beginning and an end. Your past struggles ended at a point in time, your life in an apartment started and has come to an end, your life in a rented house is about to start and will end, and sooner than later (in Jesus’ name) your life in your family home will start and may that season be a long one. 🙏🏿 Praying blessings upon you and Bae, your best days are certainly ahead of you.
Hello Gugu, am a mum of 3 and originally from Zambia, living in Pretoria, I feel your pain, went through a similar situation, my mum hassled for us, we were 8 at home, I know the pain, but we thank God for those episodes , we are stronger women, but I promised myself my children will not go through that, Well done for sharing this to the world, one person out there will be healed from this. Focus on the brighter days ahead, God saw your pain and struggles and took you out of that pit. I love watching you, esp when your husband, we do that in Zambia as well...wow
Sana, forever wena - you so relatable, authentic and that segment (you narrating your childhood) reminded me why I initially followed you. The constant reminder that your dreams are valid and attainable. May God ever-stay blessing you, Gugu.
There is a time and a season for everything Gugs. God will surely bless you with the house you want when the time is right. Keep grinding. And thank you for sharing your story with us!
Oh Sis I just love how authentic and humble you are❤️ May God bless you with everything you need and desire. I am encouraged that one day things will fall into place, you bring so much hope to our lives❤️❤️❤️
You are quickly becoming one of my favourite UA-camrs. After watching you on @Yolzchannel I knew you were a gem. This video Unravelled me and it helped me. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness. May God bless you and your husband and your home. ❤️🌻
The pain of not being able to call your mom and ask for financial assistance while you at res has to be the saddest part im currently doing my first year i still haven't received my NSFAS allowance its tough yoh my grocery is finished i cant go back home now because im waiting on my mom to find a little bit of money so that i can come home for recess but i know one day ill be successful and this will be a testimony you inspire me Sis gugu
I usually don't comment on UA-cam because I don't watch on the phone, but I came back to comment because your message and experience resonated so much! I found myself bawling endlessly, but so so inspired by your journey and consistent focus on getting up. Lord knows it takes so much! And I understand the scars, sometimes you catch yourself after years, almost like your body/mind remembers even amidst the gratitude. Well done to you and the family on the new home. Wishing you the very best!
Thank God for this video! Gugu you're amazing and thanks for giving us hope. Your vulnerability is birthing strength and hope in us. I pray God keeps on blessing you, strengthening you and guides you and everything you touch turns into gold! Your channel too will definitely grow into what you want, with all the segments and ideas you want to incorporate! I'm excited for you
This is such a very raw and moving vlog. That sit down is everything. We appreciate it and you. I've been following you for a while now and because of your sit-downs I've decided to start my own channel. Yesterday I posted my first ever mini vlog and I enjoyed it so much. With that being said...Please don't ever stop doing these sit downs
Everything you went through brought you to this moment. It built your character. You were being prepared for bigger things. That situation when you had to walk to Marabastad it was preparing you to not take things for granted. That's why today you get to appreciate everything that's happening to you. Keep on keeping on❤
Yoh Gugu... I love your rawness. From someone who comes from a similar background, I'm so encouraged and things definitely do get better. May God bless you more I'm all aspects of your life. Love you so much❤
The sufferings of today can not be compared to the glory that is yet to come, thank you for sharing your story and giving us hope, it's a testimony to us and I pray God walks with you in your house journey as he says we should cast our plans to Him so they may be established.
This was such a beautiful and inspirational vlog Gugs. Please feel free to be vulnerable with us because we can relate and we love such testimonies, It’s okay to cry about your past because that’s how you see the greatness of God and that’s how you see that what you’ve always wanted is achievable. Live in the moment of your new space n God will deliver the house you want at the right time like he delivered with everything you wished for when you were in varsity. Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊it’s really beautiful to see you grow for one point to the other. We appreciate you mama. Well done💐
This video made me love you so so much more! Trust me, most of us can relate to your childhood story but look at all of us now improving. It is not perfect neither what we want but God is showing up little by little and one day soon, we'll live our dream/answered prayer.
Ohhhh Gugu we don’t deserve you sana, Thank you for being so vulnerable, thank you for being you, thank you for reviving hope in us, You don’t know how many lives you touch by just telling us your stories. ❤ We also thank you God for your husband,a supportive man… May god continue blessing you guys maan!!
Thank you for pouring your heart Gugu , I am sure it was not easy. Being a black child 80/90 % comes with struggles but it definitely gets better. You are doing great!❤
Everyone who has struggled has a dream of giving their children a better life. So, please be kind to yourself, no one should judge you for that. You are doing great Gugu. We are proud of you ❤️
Your story got me so emotional couldn't hold back my tears. I'm so proud of you, you've worked so hard to get where you are right now. I wish you more blessings. You deserve the best life babe❤ better days are coming indeed😊
I can't even begin to explain your impact in my life and others, let alone thank you for being in this platform and thank God for allowing me to be here and witness your life's testimony. Every time you share about your past i shed tears😭 and reflect on the difficulties i face in my own life. Every new video of you talking about your past is a reminder to me that it won't always be dark, the light will come. Just as the lord has done it for you, i know he will do it for me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Never stop sharing your testimonies.
Hi Sisi. This is the first video of you that I watched/came across. I am glad I did. Thank you for being so candid. We need more of you. May God keep blessing you and your family. You've got this. You are doing well.
😢😢i didnt think watching this id end up crying..i grew up very nice but things changed when my parents died and left us with all their debt ..im struggling so much but i keep on pushing..watching you gives me so much hope that one day everything will be ok..ngiya bonga sisi
Uyandikhalisa. I have been here since day 1. Sisi your entire life is a sermon. Every time i watch your videos im revived, i just know there is a God somewhere and He is listening. You also make me realize that hard work pays. Congratulations are in order Mrs K💃🏼. Salute. Its ok to look back and cry uyasiqinisa thina. Good motivational speaker. Look at God.
I'm 32 and live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband and 2 kids and I'm so frustrated with the smaller space and I'm just praying to God to bless us with a bigger space. I don't even buy clothes for myself anymore. Anyways thabks for sharing such an uplifting story
Gugu, you have no idea what it does for us whose come up is still in progress when you are this real about your journey. I wish you more of the goodness you’re experiencing ❤️ love you so much!
thank you for being so transparent. NOT ME SHARING A TEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU AND YOUR MOM USED TO DO. i am also a varsity student helping my moms to sell carpets so that she can provide for my younger sister and brother. I really like you content so much❤❤
Yoooohhh Gugu Thank you sooooo much for sharing your story it is soooo inspiring ....Ngiyathokoza Dade unginikeze Ithemba elitsha uZimu uthembekile ❤🌻🙏🏾
What a testimony🙏. God did it. All the challenges you experienced built your character and who you are today. We all reminisce occasionally and crying isn't a sign of weakness. It can help release a few things that you have been carrying.
I can't believe somebody advised you to come here and lie😂😂 people are so weird hey.. thank you Gugu for your honesty and vulnerability always. You're the most relatable content creator and we love you ❤❤
I am balling my eyes out as I listen to the stories about your struggles. They remind me of my very own and how I always said I will do the most for my mom once I get a well-paying job. I could do some things for her but she passed before I could do all the I ever wanted to do for her. You are doing well Gugu and God is indeed faithful.
I love how authentic and super real you are. And I want to say, you deserve it sis. You deserve the life you’re living right now. I’m sorry that you come from very humble beginnings. It’s all God’s plan because today you’re able to be relatable and be an inspiration to young individuals. May God continue to bless you. Aaaaaaaaand! Congratulations on your new home! Pupupu!🎉🥳
Got so excited to watch the new upload, did i not cry so bad as Gugu spoke about how she grew up. The spirit of Gratitude is what we need to always carry for all that we have. Much love for you Gugu.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

You have definitely shown me that a situation is never permanent.
I was raised by my mom, she struggled and still is struggling to put food on the table and to pay my tuition but I am here now getting ready to graduate and become a Medical Doctor in October.
Everyone around me keeps telling me I won’t get a job because of what is currently happening, doctors are unemployed. But I have faith that I will get a job bcz God knows I need this job to take care of myself and my mom.

Luckily those people are not God! I can’t wait for your testimony 😍😍
You will get your dream job other people's stories ain't yours
You are the change your mom prayed for baby

I cried so much watching this video. This reminded me that I’ve come too far. My childhood wasn’t easy but I made it out of that dark place. Thank God for my granny who protected us with all she could. This wasn’t triggering. It was healing for me.
Thank you Gugu for being real.
Big girls do cry. It’s healing. ❤
Thanks! Your childhood story really touched me🥺. I'm happy you are where you are now and it's all God. Unkulunkulu akwenze kahle sesi♥️
Big girls can cry, cry tears of joy because where we come from, helps us to define where we decide to end up. So the tears can be a celebration of how things have changed for the better. Struggles strengthen us, so celebrate how far you’ve come, even through tears. I bet you that your mom is super proud of you, and that all her efforts were worth it. Blessings to you!
Hearing you talk about your past made me cry. Yho I was never ready for that because I relate to what you went through and your traumas heavily. I used to walk for an hour to my moms work as a cleaner and I would sit at the back and wait for her to finish. At home we used to eat cabbage and rice almost daily or potatoes and rice. Even now I worked hard to get to where I am with the help of my amazing mom and my husband later on but seeing how much my mother works hard brings tears to my eyes. I’m also trying to move to a better place from where we are now which is where I also stayed when we were struggling. Your motivating words inspire me to not give up. You words moved me deeply. Thank you for being authentic because I sometimes compare myself to others and wonder why is my progress so slow.
🥺😭those last minutes of the vlog had me weeping! I'm a new subbie - a month old - and I must confess, you've turned into a fave. Thank you for being SO REAL about your life, mostly for sharing it with us, I've been looking forward to your uploads ever since I became a subbie and this new upload? So profound, telling us about your "growing up" story, the not having your own bedroom part made me so emotional because I can relate. You are such a relatable influencer/UA-camr, please don't EVER change. You deserve all the blessings and good things that are currently happening in your life and may God continue to bless you even more, I know you're going to get approved for your dream house very soon and I can wait for us to be a part of the people who get to witness that blessing with you. You give me SO MUCH hope, and for that thank you, for being you.
Gugu you brought me to tears, my husband and i bought land in 2020 and we haven't even started building yet. i was starting to feel like a failure and asking myself why this is happening to us. I've just started a small business to help him out financially. hearing about your mom's story and how she did her best to assist your dad gave me courage. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. You are indeed an Angel from God. I love you so much💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
You and hubz need to go and speak over that land. Walk over it declaring that you will build your house ( set a date of completion) everything has ears, declare it in the name of Jesus and it would be done. Look for a bible verse to stand on. If you can't go to the land print out the picture of it .
To add I've seen people build a house from ground to finish in 3 months. Anything is possible with Jehovah, commit your plans to God
@@NeliseAbigael. thank you so much for your wise words, will definitely take your advice... i will come back to this comment section one day and give you a testimony💌
@@SelinaNyimani-yg2gq You're welcome. I'll be praying for you guys . Also as an advice, keep quiet about this building matter until the house is done.
Yhoo we had have the same challenge, we have land and I don’t see any hope of us building anytime soon😢😢😢
Gugu you are making us cry now! You worked hard for everything you have and now you are reaping the fruits of your hard labor. I'm 26 and haven't achieved anything I want in life but you motivate and inspire me so much❤❤
When the time is right God will make it happen trust me
Oh Gugu ❤ I’m sending you a virtual hug. I hope the future you’re building for yourself and your family will help you heal from the hurt of your childhood.
Also, you’re doing amazing for yourself. We’re literally watching you break generational curse of poverty in your family’s life. May your hard work always be rewarded 🙏
I love how vulnerable and real you are with us , I really appreciate your content❤
It is okay to cry. I am watching you from Florida USA. It is always emotional looking back and seeing how far we've come. Wishing you continued blessings.
It always amazes me to see how God blesses marriage, especially when the husband takes good care of his family and the wife's heart is at peace.
One day you will remember this video while you are at your dream home. Nothing is impossible. You spoke it, You believe it now watch it manifest.
God bless you sis❤
I just discovered your content and I don't get moved by influencers but sis your authenticity really touched me. God bless you and your mom!
You literally taken me from smiling, laughing today to crying with you in this one episode. I watched this with so many different motions and I say you are the most real person on social media. You are so relevant and you heal so many of us. Watching you is healing cause you always do or say something some of us would see as embarrassing but watching you reassured me that I am also where I am because of where I have been. May God be with you and bless your Chanel so you can reach that one person that needs you the most. ❤ You lots
There is a saying "Maybe life is not about avoiding the scars, maybe it's about collecting them to prove we show up"... and sis Gugu through it all you showed up and worked through your way out of all those scars. I am certain your younger self is just remarkably so PROUD of the woman you are today God's blessings ❤❤❤

Gugu😭 your genuiness and your intentionality with your channel shines through. Your testimony is a ministry, you speaking to first borns, the struggles are real but our God is bigger. There is so much I took from this vlog and I have decided to never ever feel sorry for my situation but to work harder and pray through it. Love you can't wait to see the moving vlog ❤
If I could like this video a million times, I would💞 Thank you for your authenticity Gugu, I truly believe that's what sets you apart.. Words are sooo powerful, thank you for imparting life through your words.. May God continue to bless you sisi. We love to see you rise!
First borns go through the most with their parents. Please give us hugs we really need them ❤.
My husband and I went through so much last year and God gave us a breakthrough this year. All those tears sleepless nights early mornings… are finally starting to show off.
I’m so happy for you Gugu, all your achievements we see them😭.
It doesn't matter how we start but how we finish! Thank you for trusting us with your story! I'm so proud of you and the woman you are becoming on a daily basis!❤❤
Very proud 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for being vulnerable with us Gugu. Its so refreshing and encouraging. May God show Himself in your lives and give you the desires of your hearts according to His will. ❤❤❤
I loved this SO much. My husband overheard the conversation and was interested AND inspired too. And he never bothers to ask me who am I watching now again.
You are truly so authentic and I love it. ❤❤
Not me bowling my eyes out because i relate so much to your upbringing i am in my mid 20s and i already know what you are talking about , having big dreams and making sure that my kids aren't going to live the same life i lived ... This here warmed my heart knowing that it is all going to happen in good time. Congratulations you guys are definitely going to get your dream house , i love love love youuu.. thank you for being vulnerable and so real. This is what we need to watch for motivation and to appreciate humble beginnings' . i honestly cant wait to watch the hauls , cooking editions and more ... here for life .
Yoooh Sis Gugu. You reminded me of my own story, the difference between where I came from and where I am... hard work, determination, prayer, God. Modimo o moholo yoooh. Thank you sisi 😊
The realest influencer I know.I personally learn a lot from you😢.Congratulations on your new space Gugu🎉❤
Thank you for just being you, your strong, vulnerable, intelligent, beautiful self and for sharing all of you with us. You’ve come so far and should be so proud. You really are a phenomenal woman. ❤
You are so real and that’s what draws us in. A similar sharing session on your “I bought a Merc” vlog is what got me subscribed. You are relatable and so inspiring.
It’s so beautiful how life can take a turn for the best. Thank you for showing and reminding us this truth 💚
In a time when everyone is trying to curate a perfect picture with no past but a perfect now captured in a single post/upload, thank you for sharing your story. ❤️ I am certain you’ve touched many with your story and have brought us back to the reality of what life is - it’s about seasons and every one of them has a beginning and an end. Your past struggles ended at a point in time, your life in an apartment started and has come to an end, your life in a rented house is about to start and will end, and sooner than later (in Jesus’ name) your life in your family home will start and may that season be a long one. 🙏🏿
Praying blessings upon you and Bae, your best days are certainly ahead of you.
Hello Gugu, am a mum of 3 and originally from Zambia, living in Pretoria, I feel your pain, went through a similar situation, my mum hassled for us, we were 8 at home, I know the pain, but we thank God for those episodes , we are stronger women, but I promised myself my children will not go through that, Well done for sharing this to the world, one person out there will be healed from this. Focus on the brighter days ahead, God saw your pain and struggles and took you out of that pit. I love watching you, esp when your husband, we do that in Zambia as well...wow
You are really an incredible person ,I hope you know that everything will happen as it should. We really appreciate you beautiful Sine!
Sana, forever wena - you so relatable, authentic and that segment (you narrating your childhood) reminded me why I initially followed you. The constant reminder that your dreams are valid and attainable. May God ever-stay blessing you, Gugu.
There is a time and a season for everything Gugs. God will surely bless you with the house you want when the time is right. Keep grinding. And thank you for sharing your story with us!
A win is a win Gugu. You deserve everything good coming your way.
yohhhh ive never met such an honest, raw and core UA-camr. Ive fallen in love with you sooo so much SNE😫😫😫😫
Oh Sis I just love how authentic and humble you are❤️ May God bless you with everything you need and desire. I am encouraged that one day things will fall into place, you bring so much hope to our lives❤️❤️❤️
You are quickly becoming one of my favourite UA-camrs. After watching you on @Yolzchannel I knew you were a gem. This video Unravelled me and it helped me. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness. May God bless you and your husband and your home. ❤️🌻
The pain of not being able to call your mom and ask for financial assistance while you at res has to be the saddest part im currently doing my first year i still haven't received my NSFAS allowance its tough yoh my grocery is finished i cant go back home now because im waiting on my mom to find a little bit of money so that i can come home for recess but i know one day ill be successful and this will be a testimony you inspire me Sis gugu
I'm crying right now what you should know is that your authenticity inpires us sis. Keep going sis
So proud of you. And the fact that you can spoil yourself with all these luxuries without feeling a certain way is great!
I usually don't comment on UA-cam because I don't watch on the phone, but I came back to comment because your message and experience resonated so much! I found myself bawling endlessly, but so so inspired by your journey and consistent focus on getting up. Lord knows it takes so much! And I understand the scars, sometimes you catch yourself after years, almost like your body/mind remembers even amidst the gratitude.
Well done to you and the family on the new home. Wishing you the very best!
Vip gang gang gang notification club hello
The reason I love your channel it’s because you are real,you don’t sell dreams like how most youtubers do.Thank you so much ❤
Thank God for this video! Gugu you're amazing and thanks for giving us hope. Your vulnerability is birthing strength and hope in us. I pray God keeps on blessing you, strengthening you and guides you and everything you touch turns into gold! Your channel too will definitely grow into what you want, with all the segments and ideas you want to incorporate! I'm excited for you
This is such a very raw and moving vlog. That sit down is everything. We appreciate it and you. I've been following you for a while now and because of your sit-downs I've decided to start my own channel. Yesterday I posted my first ever mini vlog and I enjoyed it so much. With that being said...Please don't ever stop doing these sit downs
I like that she missed a step and they showed us some other people they edit and act as if everything is smooth
@@nombu700lelo8 True. She is so real and relatable. I hope she never stops being who she is
Just subscribed on your channel
@@nombu700lelo8OH Thank you so much😊
Everything you went through brought you to this moment. It built your character. You were being prepared for bigger things. That situation when you had to walk to Marabastad it was preparing you to not take things for granted. That's why today you get to appreciate everything that's happening to you. Keep on keeping on❤
Yoh Gugu... I love your rawness. From someone who comes from a similar background, I'm so encouraged and things definitely do get better. May God bless you more I'm all aspects of your life. Love you so much❤
Thank you Gugu for being vulnerable❤Most of us relate to your story and I am really inspired 😊
I hope u know how many young girls u are inspiring Gugu...thank u for always sharing ur journey ❤
When it comes to OOTD, you never disappoint us ke sana, no sbari looks good. Congrats on the house 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
"life is tough, but we are tougher"! You will get your dream house & it will be worth the wait. Thanks for always being so real.❤
The sufferings of today can not be compared to the glory that is yet to come, thank you for sharing your story and giving us hope, it's a testimony to us and I pray God walks with you in your house journey as he says we should cast our plans to Him so they may be established.
This was such a beautiful and inspirational vlog Gugs. Please feel free to be vulnerable with us because we can relate and we love such testimonies, It’s okay to cry about your past because that’s how you see the greatness of God and that’s how you see that what you’ve always wanted is achievable. Live in the moment of your new space n God will deliver the house you want at the right time like he delivered with everything you wished for when you were in varsity.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊it’s really beautiful to see you grow for one point to the other. We appreciate you mama. Well done💐
This video made me love you so so much more!
Trust me, most of us can relate to your childhood story but look at all of us now improving. It is not perfect neither what we want but God is showing up little by little and one day soon, we'll live our dream/answered prayer.
I swear I'm not crying. I can totally relate on everything you said, thank you for being vulnerable ❤️
This is the content I signed up for. You are so real Gugu and I needed to hear that “get up and fight”. I’m so inspired.
Ohhhh Gugu we don’t deserve you sana, Thank you for being so vulnerable, thank you for being you, thank you for reviving hope in us, You don’t know how many lives you touch by just telling us your stories. ❤
We also thank you God for your husband,a supportive man… May god continue blessing you guys maan!!
Thank you for pouring your heart Gugu , I am sure it was not easy. Being a black child 80/90 % comes with struggles but it definitely gets better.
You are doing great!❤
Everyone who has struggled has a dream of giving their children a better life.
So, please be kind to yourself, no one should judge you for that.
You are doing great Gugu. We are proud of you ❤️
Your story got me so emotional couldn't hold back my tears. I'm so proud of you, you've worked so hard to get where you are right now. I wish you more blessings. You deserve the best life babe❤ better days are coming indeed😊
I can't even begin to explain your impact in my life and others, let alone thank you for being in this platform and thank God for allowing me to be here and witness your life's testimony.
Every time you share about your past i shed tears😭 and reflect on the difficulties i face in my own life. Every new video of you talking about your past is a reminder to me that it won't always be dark, the light will come. Just as the lord has done it for you, i know he will do it for me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never stop sharing your testimonies.
Don’t ever despise a rough start. It made who you are today : a compassionate person. You very kind and you can see it in how you treat your husband ❤
Hi Sisi. This is the first video of you that I watched/came across. I am glad I did. Thank you for being so candid. We need more of you. May God keep blessing you and your family. You've got this. You are doing well.
😢😢i didnt think watching this id end up crying..i grew up very nice but things changed when my parents died and left us with all their debt ..im struggling so much but i keep on pushing..watching you gives me so much hope that one day everything will be ok..ngiya bonga sisi
Uyandikhalisa. I have been here since day 1. Sisi your entire life is a sermon. Every time i watch your videos im revived, i just know there is a God somewhere and He is listening. You also make me realize that hard work pays. Congratulations are in order Mrs K💃🏼. Salute.
Its ok to look back and cry uyasiqinisa thina. Good motivational speaker. Look at God.
I'm 32 and live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband and 2 kids and I'm so frustrated with the smaller space and I'm just praying to God to bless us with a bigger space. I don't even buy clothes for myself anymore. Anyways thabks for sharing such an uplifting story
May God bless you with all your heart desires sis.
@@nomsatorcida9612 I receive dear. I pray the same for you as well
All will work out, I can resonate❤ May you be blessed and God heard our prayers and he’s faithful.😊
@@kelemrwashu Amen. May God bless you too 🙏
Wow what a vulnerable and raw video. You’re inspiring and thank you for sharing your stories with us❤️❤️
I love how authentic you are. Im sure i am not the only one who shared a tear with you. May God continue to bless you and your husband ❤️❤️
Gugu, you have no idea what it does for us whose come up is still in progress when you are this real about your journey.
I wish you more of the goodness you’re experiencing ❤️ love you so much!
thank you for being so transparent. NOT ME SHARING A TEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU AND YOUR MOM USED TO DO. i am also a varsity student helping my moms to sell carpets so that she can provide for my younger sister and brother. I really like you content so much❤❤
Yoooohhh Gugu Thank you sooooo much for sharing your story it is soooo inspiring ....Ngiyathokoza Dade unginikeze Ithemba elitsha uZimu uthembekile ❤🌻🙏🏾
I couldn’t stop the tears from falling while listening to your story. You’re strong and we love you ❤
What a testimony🙏. God did it. All the challenges you experienced built your character and who you are today. We all reminisce occasionally and crying isn't a sign of weakness. It can help release a few things that you have been carrying.
I can't believe somebody advised you to come here and lie😂😂 people are so weird hey.. thank you Gugu for your honesty and vulnerability always. You're the most relatable content creator and we love you ❤❤
Not me crying when I watched this. You're an amazing and authentic woman. I'm so proud of who you've become. God will bless you abundantly ❤
I am balling my eyes out as I listen to the stories about your struggles. They remind me of my very own and how I always said I will do the most for my mom once I get a well-paying job. I could do some things for her but she passed before I could do all the I ever wanted to do for her. You are doing well Gugu and God is indeed faithful.
I love how authentic and super real you are. And I want to say, you deserve it sis. You deserve the life you’re living right now. I’m sorry that you come from very humble beginnings. It’s all God’s plan because today you’re able to be relatable and be an inspiration to young individuals. May God continue to bless you.
Aaaaaaaaand! Congratulations on your new home! Pupupu!🎉🥳
Don’t apologize for crying Gugu , it’s all part of your testimony. Thanks for sharing part of your story ❤from 🇿🇼
Got so excited to watch the new upload, did i not cry so bad as Gugu spoke about how she grew up. The spirit of Gratitude is what we need to always carry for all that we have. Much love for you Gugu.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
So proud of you, you never gave up and you kept pushing. You deserve all the happiness 🥰
