Life is a humbling experience, it has to be learned looking backwards from our past mistakes but to be lived looking forward!! Through it all I have learned to be grateful to be alive and acknowledged my errors. My life began in Durban, KwaMashu township. I was born in a very large family of twelve. That is unthinkable by today's standards and I'm still wondering how our parents managed to feed all of us, to clothe and generally to take care of all of us.
