[@BokangMphohla-yw7xr]

The minute she says "yoooooo" I know it's going down and it hurts The giggle says it all May God restore her❤

[@sarariet-o8y]

What l can only say is wow..wow..wow..l am lost for words..what us women go through in this life..Lord have mercy on us 😮😮😮😮.l pray that you really heal my lady.😢😢

[@itumelengmaloka3177]

I’m watching this interview and I get teary 😢. To think I’ve met you few times and you always have this beautiful smile not knowing what you’ve been through 💔. Love and light sis Thandeka 🕯️❤️.

[@tshepishoselepe6514]

She unpacked her story so well that madam speaker didn’t have questions after each and every scenario. What a smart woman ,I could listen to her the whole day

[@ndemathabi5508]

Good storyteller

[@nomsachironda9624]

💯❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤

[@zanelebomsi3571]

😢😢

[@favour664]

Sis Thandeka, you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. You are a living testimony❤❣

[@Cassandra-nn2os]

A true definition of a Goddess. ❤❤❤❤Sending lots of love and light to Sis Thandeka. I love how she acknowledges her pain and how it affected her children and most importantly, the fact that she acted on it. 100% beautiful to hear about where she's at right now. More than anything I'm glad she chose herself and her kids at the end of the day. That's all that matters.

[@gugusegwabanyane5524]

The pain behind the nervous giggles can’t be unmasked. May God restore all you’ve lost sisi. Your story is too painful

[@kutloanomolumo1115]

We need a part 2 please, she narrates her story so well. Love and healing mama!🥰

[@claytonny78]

What else do you want to hear?

[@Tshegomlp]

I didn't think I'd finish this video because it was triggering at first BUT I noticed how Sis Thandeka tried to make it easier to digest with her nervous giggle(she understands her lived experiences may be too much for others to hear). With all that she's been through, I was relieved to hear that she persevered! I don't believe that what she went through was because of God but God took what was meant to kill her for good! Aus'Thandeka is an amazing story-teller(I could picture every part). Beyond the work that she now does I think she should write a book, and that that book should be made into a theatre play or a film🤞🏽she's such an inspiration

[@ntandokazi5587]

She’s good She knows how to regulate herself and I commend her for that. ESP coming from such an abusive background

[@louisagilika3060]

Absolutely ❤❤❤ I thought I would breakdown instead I'm deeply moved, motivated and mesmerised by this amazing woman called Thandeka. Awaiting part 2. 1:17:18

[@keepitfrankwithfentse]

As someone who lost her parents by the time I was 13. I am sooooo grateful for my extended family...both sides (mom and dads side) really made sure I was taken care of....Not once did I feel unsafe. Today Im married with kids and my husband takes care of me...I wish this lady had someone to look after her in her time of need. She has been through more than ANY person can bear. I hope she can find healing one day.

[@PhumieD]

It's so painful because the Thandekas biological mother was alive and aware if the problem. Heel my sister may the good Lord give you strength.

[@a.dlamini]

Yo. Exactly what I was thinking about. I lost my mom at the age of 8, my oldest sister raised us. I am so grateful.

[@nickypieters5278]

Holy Spirit please comfort her. We thank you Jesus for the healing within and upon her, amen

[@a.dlamini]

Amen.

[@Iam_Nelisa]

Perseverance’s ability to just sit and listen is commendable! What a blessed skill to have. Bless her!

[@leratosebetoane8333]

Oooh the strength she carries is unmatched ❤.May God continue holding in the palm of his hands. Sis Thandeka is beautiful and im glad she no longer needs the validation. 🎉🎉

[@preciouszondi7164]

Wow I'm speechless I know her and she is an angel on earth there is no way I could have known she survived so many things. Keep striving sisi you are a true reflection of a person walking the walk with the most high. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@boldkoatala]

Most of this show I've cried,as woman we must stop being each other's enemies we must rather support each other.this woman went through alot n i wish the abuser's can realize how deep the wounds go.the woman still remember everything that happened while she was still young in details.she went through hell n back.may God give her strength n courage she needs in life

[@mariamasetloa6272]

She hides pain 😢 😭 😔 💔 😞 with laughter 😢😢😢

[@winniemaduna]

I also noticed dt as well and it broke my heart 💔

[@kwandiennkosazanaentleelun7515]

She’s really hiding her pain with laughter 😢wow I’ve learnt to never judge a person cause we don’t know what they have been through… May God continue to comfort her I’ve realised once you get rapped it keeps following the person. May she be healed in Jesus names

[@takalanisinthumule7338]

Thats what i and hubby do ,it shows she is a good person

[@thokogqiba4683]

Thandeka your resilience is amazing❤ your story is healing a lot of people. Keep sharing Queen. In spite of your childhood trauma you have good qualities of strength. You're an amazing hardworker and very creative. Much respect and love for you dear sister❤

[@molelekengmakgolane4466]

Part 2 , part 3 if possible madam speaker. Please please lady.

[@florahngulube3544]

A very touching story,l pray God ushers a new blessed prosperous life to Thandeka as God promised to turn whatever the devil meant for evil,for God to turn it to her good.

[@MahlogonoloSebola]

Just when you thought you've went though alot then you listen to other people's stories and you get to understand that actually you haven't been through anything People have bigger issues😭😭💔

[@Nabolanga]

And then you feel worse ...!💔

[@sharonmaluleke4618]

God, how can one person go through soo much alone 😭😭😭😭😭 Yhoooo this is painful, I wish to hug her now

[@lettienahole]

Yoh yoh. This world is cruel especially for women. Love and light to Sis Thandeka.

[@ruthpartridge6314]

True

[@blessingsgcaba9445]

The brain blocking everything, that's why she forgot everything 😢it's unfortunate but the brain was protecting her from her trauma😭

[@patienceikombele9161]

How much more can a one person take 😢😢😢😢 No maan this is too my much. This woman never had peace. This is a reality of many girls who were born in the 70s and early 80s.

[@tshilidzisengani8667]

And it's painful as hell 😢😢😢😢😢

[@mamolewamodiba9159]

It’s a very sad 😢 experience that Thandeka went through however I don’t believe that what she went through was experienced by those born in the 70s 80s or whatever. I was born in the 70s and I’m watching this with shock😳😳😳 our childhood experiences are different

[@Nabolanga]

Born in '87, and you're absolutely right -our parents' generation was rotten. Sad thing is WE look like the bad people for telling the stories. I don't know what they put in their water🤷🏾

[@nosisamasiza683]

😮​@@mamolewamodiba9159

[@dorahmokete218]

U are correct im born in 83 i had to fend for myself as if my mom wasnot there ,parents in tose years were something else,not caring at all ,but that experience made me strong and a better Mom,i thank god every day😢​@@Nabolanga

[@SeabiTshabalala]

Can we all pls come gather here and cry our lungs out...aa man this is too much. Father God pls forgive me for being ungrateful 🙏...my sister I love you and God loves you more 😘💝

[@Tshegofatsomaleka_m]

I watched your video and I want you to know how deeply moved I am by your strength and courage in sharing your story. It takes incredible bravery to open up about such painful experiences, and your willingness to speak out is truly inspiring. I am so sorry for the pain and suffering you have endured. No one deserves to go through what you've experienced, and I admire your resilience in moving forward despite the challenges. Your journey is a testament to your strength and determination. Please remember that you are not alone. There are people who care about you and want to support you on your healing journey. If there's anything I can do to help or if you ever need someone to listen, please don't hesitate to reach out. You deserve love, safety, and happiness in your life, and I believe in your ability to find peace and healing. Take care of yourself and know that brighter days are ahead. Sending you strength and solidarity❤

[@hlengiwemathenjwa1371]

How I sooooo wish too I could help her in any manner I could have but may God bless her

[@drkhanyarajuili4753]

It's amazing how trauma duplicates itself in people who experienced it. I salute your guest to have conquered and able to share

[@Millicent_Kgaladi]

I feel like you should allow your guests to express themselves in their own language and put subtitles. Had she narrated in her own language she was gonna flow. Very sad story so sorry she had to go through all this trauma.

[@zwad3423]

I think she did well in english too

[@GreatnessLungile]

Also, I've heard that subtitles are costly. Maybe let's be patient until she can do that

[@zinhledludla6674]

Yes 🤞🏼

[@A-_B956]

I think her English is perfectly adequate, people do not have to sound American or European for their English to be pleasant.

[@KoketsoNdaba]

Without Practice And Error, There Can Never Be Learning ❤. She Expressed Herself Adequately... So Proud Of Her❤️

[@VusiMazibuko-q8o]

This is too much I salute her and I think she's an earth Angel.

[@winniemaduna]

I wish i could hug usisi 😭she has bn through a lot

[@Savebygrace-it]

My blood boils bafethu this story is so common ekasi. Why vele. The communities are not safe, our homes are not safe. And omama nabo they don't pay attention to their kids busy trying imshado with men that end up abusing their kids. We are really a damaged society.

[@beejjjj4106]

Our parents glorifies marriages. They care about "batho ba tla reng" at the expense of their children. Then they also say they stay "for the sake of children", which is just a selfish excuse, because at the end of the day, it is children that gets hurt at the end. Speaking from experience, I lost a little sister because of my mom's toxic marriage. Still going though therapy, because I can't just believe that she's no more. My sister's death was when I realized just how toxic that marriage is. Out of respect. And so many meetings I've had with them in the past.I just distanced myself.

[@godsfavouritedaughter3476]

Guys what's wrong with men vele? Same thing happened to me by my father's brothers, 2 of them. From the age of 6, now im 38. Im not ok, my life is a mess. I don't know whether im coming or going. The worst part is i told my grandmother and my aunt but i was threatened and told to keep quiet. Then last year i decided to talk and tell everyone, the attacks i got from my cousins, everyone calling me a liar, prostitute, devil, any name they can think of. They say time heals all wounds. Not in this case. Women, take EXTRA care of your children because all of this happened while my mom was around. And its like child molestation attracts rape because i was also raped at 20.
