IN the bustling streets of Alexandra, north of Joburg, the SunTeam met with Sipho Buthelezi, a 23-year-old who's fighting his demons and his story is one of loss, grief and pain.
Sipho's early years were filled with joy and love in the vibrant community of Gomora. Raised in a nurturing home by both parents, Sipho recalls a childhood filled with fun and excitement. Despite the loss of his dad at the tender age of three, Sipho fondly remembers how his mum's love and caring kept the family's heart beating strong.
“I was close to my mum. She was a loving and caring person. She died in 2005 when I was in grade 5. She died of kidney failure. Losing her was tough,” Sipho said.
