If i got pregnant and found out the baby had any serious issues or birth defects, i would also abort. Life is already sad and difficult, i wont bring a child into the world just for it to suffer..
sounds like two people responsible and self-aware enough to know what they’re equipped to handle, and opted to avoid bringing a child into the world who would suffer and they would resent. 🤷🏾♀️
I have ingested so many no’s, let downs, redirections, and rejections - yet my feet have remained firmly planted in the belief that what I desire desires me too. and I will cross the toughest burrows of this life making my way to my life’s desires. over and over again.
I have touched the hem of the absolute possibilities of my life over and over again. you think a little rejection will deter me from the life of my absolute dreams? no ways
And this is the last Sunday of the month, when you pray today anga umthandazo wakho angafikelela kwi ndlebe zika Thixo. May everything that has failed this month be in our favour in June, sincume sonke. Happy Sunday🌓
[LISTEN] A heartfelt tribute to her last born whose life was claimed by three gunmen who shot and killed her with a high calibre firearm in the head, Nomzila Madinane’s mother penned down these words read by her eldest daughter Zabesuthu.
The mother speaks about her last born’s upbringing, development and her life.
Nomzila died a painful dead. 💔
Two other victims her cashier and a security guard were also killed during the incident.
Rest in perfect peace Zile. We, who’ve known you pray your kind soul finds peace. ♥️🙏🏾
"I wish her heart lives on in you."
Those were Dalene Ncala's words to her eldest daughter, Liat.
After all, it was a heart that first beat inside her over 27 years ago.
One she nurtured and shaped as a single mother in northern KZN.
That heart belonged to Nomzila Madinane.
Overflowing with passion, love and determination.
First, an overachiever at school.
Later, a beautiful, talented young woman.
But, that heartbeat - the soundtrack to her glorious life - was viciously stopped by a rifle.
A graduate.
A pharmacist.
A businesswoman.
An employer.
A daughter.
A sister.
A person dedicated to improving lives, robbed of hers.
Surrounded by everything to prolong lives, but powerless against the unstoppable hail of bullets.
On Tuesday, Nomzila was stocking the shelves of her soon-to-be-opened outlet - KwaNyuswa Pharmacy.
Three gunmen stormed the place.
A cashier was shot dead.
A security guard wounded.
Later, he, too, passed away.
But the main target must have been Nomzila.
Nothing was taken from the store.
As Nomzila's heart beat for the last time, her murderers casually walked off to a VW Polo and left.
In broad daylight.
The crime has all the hallmarks of a targeted assassination.
And for someone already worried about safety, it is the most tragic way to be proven right.
Hard work and a successful career meant Nomzila had the means to do - and have - just about anything she wanted.
Designer clothes.
Premium restaurants.
Fast cars.
She would have taken delivery of a brand new BMW M2 in a few days.
Her Instagram account shows a young woman enjoying a life she earned.
But, was she truly enjoying it?
Could anyone enjoy a life without real freedom?
In December, gunmen targeted her first store in Berea.
Later, a friend of her ex-boyfriend's brother was arrested.
The same ex - a doctor - who allegedly told her family he could kill her.
The one who, according to them, intentionally crashed a car with Nomzila inside.
The one she wrote about in a message to her landlord as she fearfully tried to cancel a lease.
The one who refused to let her go.
The one she desperately tried to get a protection order against this year.
And the reason she paid for security escorts on social outings.
Alungile - her other sister - will never forget her sibling's chilling words.
"If anything ever happens to me, just know it's him."
A few months before her death, her sisters met with the doctor through a senior colleague.
They chose a dignified approach to remind him of Nomzila's wishes.
But he apparently seemed unrepentant.
They haven’t heard from him since.
The killing is being probed by the successful provincial SAPS Murder and Robbery Unit.
Within hours, several leads were already on their radar.
But the Madinane family is demanding quick justice.
A mastermind, the killers - anyone who helped - to be thrown behind bars.
They know it won't bring her back.
But maybe, just maybe, it will start to mend their hearts enough to protect Nomzila's memory for eternity.
