Chapter 2

Mabalwa Vilakazi

Philasande Gumede?what a handsome man but his eyes seem to tell alot.
The energy that I picked up from him was way too heavy,like someone who needed alot of forgiving but something in me tells me that's the man my ancestors have sent for me.
I am Gogo Mahlalaentabeni, daughter of my ancestors but before her I am Mabalwa Vilakazi. I am a product of rape as much as it used to hurt me,I've learnt to live with it,my mother was raped by an Ethiopian man that used to run a container shop but was deported and imprisoned.
My mom is my pillar of strength,I suffered so much with that women,we suffered more 6years ago before I learnt that I had to go through initiation,ukuyo thwasa.
Until I woke up in a trance one afternoon and went to Heidelberg,I apparently walked from Tembisa to Heidelberg, that's when I learnt of uGobela Masango my initiator,she's like a second life coach to me after my mother she's 65 years old this year,I've was in initiation school for a year and nga'phuma entwaseni,idlozi elaka khokho,my mother's granny I've been very good with it ,when I'm in the country I do my consultations.
I was a young 22 year old then ,six years later here I am.
After I studied for my flight attendance I worked two years in Emirates and decided to relocate my mother and I to Durban,Ballito. She opened up a clothing boutique called 'Bee & Slee'(Mabalwa and Slindile), it's quite famous now,I'm a proud daughter,Slindile Vilakazi.

My life is too revolved around myself,my mother and my career.

I've been in and out of South Africa because of my career choice obviously but I love it.

This is my story,I am Mabalwa Vilakazi. Come and take this ride with me as it's about to get too rocky.
