What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My greatest challenge that i am facing right now is lacking g where I could comfortably call my own home. I lost my house on January 2nd 2023 after my husband MabaLe Steven committed suicide in it. The house was completely destroyed and everything that was in. It was a sad moment for me and my family when my husband killed himself I was totally shocked and been terrified ever since.
