Zodwa Wabantu grateful for humble beginnings that shaped her

Zodwa Wabantu recently celebrated her birthday, and she was full of gratitude.
“I remember asking God would I die being nothing?” she reflected on social media.
Zodwa was brought up by her grandmother and aunt after the death of her mother.
“My Aunt from Nelspruit said Zodwa you left home when you were 16‚ all these years you have never looked back. But please‚ if it’s hard out there‚ come back as you are. Uyaphila‚ you are breathing‚ we won’t ask you questions just come back.”
In all her difficulties, all she held onto was her faith in God.
“I’ve been a fighter all my life. No parents. No guidance or guardian at all. But with God only. I didn’t give up but I already told myself that I will just die with nothing but my stomach full.”
“For the record‚ I do pray. I prayed more when I was 15 to 28 years old.”
Zodwa was also full of gratitude to DJ Tira for making her the brand she is.
“DJ Tira‚ what I have asked you from day one‚ and (what) I have asked any businessman‚ was for them help me with tears on my face. So whatever I became or become it is because you gave me a chance in life.”
