I came across this intriguing post on facebook, with the attached picture! 


This was me.........14 years ago. 17 years old and a mother to an infant son. His father a sworn enemy who had NO idea how I got myself pregnant.



My father passed away 2 weeks after I gave birth, I Was doing my first year at university and the father had paid for my registration fees, it took years to admit that I loved him because I loved education and my reality was that education for me could ONLY come through blessings.



14 years later, he is one of my closest friends and our son his greatest blessing. But the fact remains that I was a blesee who recieved a blessing of education. Go ahead and judge me, ignore what society does to young women and children because it's easier to blame US but don't expect me to join you.



I made it out, I went through it and I am STILL here. Dear little sister going through a situation, I feel your pain and it's NOT your fault. Do your best until you know better and then do better, as for me......I love you and admire your strength, you are STRENGTH, you are POWER and they fear the possibility of YOU.


zibu 17 and pregnant

So we tracked her down.  Zibu also wrote this!  


So, how does a daughter of a retrenched miner from Eshowe, who gave birth at 17; lose a child at 24; Lead a Province at 27 and meet Obama at 33,  survive burying 3 children and STILL have an ability to allow Joy to spring from her soul? 


How can 1 woman have a dream to lead a nation and hold on to that vision until the universe has to obey its own laws and deliver it.


So how do you develop resilience, still maintain compassion and live each day with inspiration.  


LISTEN BELOW TO FIND OUT HOW! 

Pat Sunkel had this to say after listening to Zibu. 

Remember this name, Zibu MaSotobe, she has  set her sights on becoming President of the Republic, and as a betting man I would put money on her now!
