Good people let's share this post until her family recognises her 🙏
There's a young lady at Pinetown taxi Rank, KwaZulu-Natal. When asked, where does she come from, she says she's from Mzinyathi, Nanda.
When asked where's she going, she says Durban but she's just standing in the rain motionless. Sometimes she kneels down and start to pray while the rain is pouring on her.
Let's help her before opportunists takes advantage of her.
⚠️ URGENT: NEW KIDNAPPING SCAM IN SOUTH AFRICA - PLEASE SHARE ⚠️*
Ladies, please be careful in town, taxi ranks, malls, and parking lots. There’s a new method kidnappers are using:
*How the scam works:*
1. *The approach*: A man in a car stops next to you. He calls you by a name or says “Hey, get in the car! We’ve been looking for you.”
2. If you refuse and say you don’t know him, he immediately switches tactics.
He turns to people around and says loud enough for everyone to hear:
_“Don’t worry guys, she’s my wife. She has amnesia / she’s mentally ill. She gets confused like this. I just need to get her home.”_
3. *Why it works*: People don’t want to interfere in “family problems” or with someone who “has a mental illness.” So they look away. That’s exactly what he’s counting on. That’s how he gets you into the car. That’s the strategy
*IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU:*
- Do NOT get in the car for any reason.
- Be loud and specific*: Yell “*I DO NOT KNOW THIS MAN. THIS IS KIDNAPPING. PLEASE CALL THE POLICE AND HELP ME.*”
The word “KIDNAPPING” makes people react way faster than “I’m fine.”
- *Draw attention*: Drop your bags, sit on the ground, scream. Make it impossible for him to look normal.
- *Call for help*
*AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IF YOU SEE THIS HAPPENING:*
- Don’t assume it’s domestic. Don’t walk away, help the victim.
- Step in and ask the Scammer directly*: If they know the person they are trying to take, if they say yes, Ask the lady (victim) to whisper her name to you or the Lady(victim) to show you her ID…then Tell the scammer/kidnapper to tell you the name of that lady(victim) he’s trying to take.… if the scammer gets the name wrong it simply means he was trying to kidnap the lady….
- *Call 10111 or SAPS* right away and tell them you suspect a kidnapping.
- *Take details*: Car color, make, license plate, location, what the man looks like. Send to police and share to warn others.
Kidnappers are using our fear of “getting involved” and stigma around mental illness against us. Let’s not let it work.
*Please share this with your sisters, mothers, friends, coworkers, and WhatsApp groups.* One share could save a life.
Stay in groups where you can. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.

Meet Dr. Thandeka Ngcobo-Magwaza – proof that one chapter never writes the whole book.
At 17, while most teens were navigating exams and dreams, she became a mother. Many might have seen that as the end of the road. Not Thandeka.
Raised by a fierce single mother in the rugged village of Gudwini (near Ixopo), KwaZulu-Natal, she already knew what resilience looked like. Her mom refused to let early motherhood become a full stop. Instead of saying “stay home and raise your child,” she said: “Go chase your future – I’ve got your back.” And with that support, Thandeka soared.
She walked long distances to school, still topped her classes, and finished matric among the Top 10 performers in the entire eThekwini region – all while pregnant or as a young mom.
That stellar matric opened the doors to the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine. She graduated with her MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery), becoming a fully qualified doctor and the second university graduate in her family – breaking generational ceilings.
Today, she’s registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as an Independent Medical Practitioner. She works as a Medical Officer, but she’s so much more: an award-winning health educator (crowned HCP Media Educator of the Year in 2023), a motivational speaker, and a powerful voice for young women facing similar challenges.
Her own words say it best:
“My late mother is my heroine. She could have told me to stay home and raise my daughter, but instead she gave me a chance to thrive. And thrive I did.”
Dr. Thandeka Ngcobo-Magwaza isn’t just a doctor – she’s living proof that setbacks don’t define you; your fight does.
To every Black woman reading this: your story isn’t over. Keep blooming where you’re planted. 👑🩺✨🇿🇦
Congratulations, Queen. You’re unstoppable. 🔥
