Mother to many’s compassion stems from her own childhood trauma 09 May 2021 Image: SUPPLIED
Having been rejected by her parents as a child and subjected to further trauma at the age of nine, Duncan Village-born Zandile Mtungata, 45, has made it her mission to help the many youth faced with challenges in her community.
By being a guardian to those who are in need, Mtungata has turned her home into a safe haven for many children who go to bed on an empty stomach.
“My mother was raped by my father when I was conceived.
“They both rejected me and I ended up living at an orphanage up until I was taken under foster care by my grandmother, which is when a tragic incident occurred.
