7. And then I was broken for myself because Carla's face was the last face I would see before falling asleep, and the very first when I wake— Nomzamo (@NomzamoMbatha) March 23, 2016
8. I wanted to confront her, but then I thought… No.— Nomzamo (@NomzamoMbatha) March 23, 2016
Because it is easier for people to speak on things that have NEVER happened to them
9. She has incredible sisters, who are all beautiful. And I envy her. Because I've had to bury TWO of mine.So, yeah.. God bless her.
