“We held each other while the furniture and walls fell on us. The next thing, we lost each other as the house was being swept away. I don’t know what happened to him. He was later found dead. I woke up in a hospital bed in pain,” she said.
She said the incident has left a void in her heart that no one will ever fill.
“I always find myself crying when I think about it. The worst part is I’m now forced to use crutches because I can’t walk properly. I have scars all over my body which when I look at they remind me of what happened,” said Motshidisi.
