"If you want to share a story, go ahead and tell it as it is. The easiest way to tell your personal life story is by telling the truth, even though you feel your story will leave you naked. Telling the truth always wins, as many people relate to it," said Londolani Tsanwani.
She recently released her book entitled My scars, my testimony.
This is her first book, even though she does not regard herself as a writer. "I just decided to write a book to share my story after being involved in a vehicle accident that happened in 2015, where I lost my partner, Mpho Regalo, who was the love of my life and father of my beautiful princess, Rialivhuwa," she said.
She started writing it in 2016 December after seeing a psychologist who encouraged her to write her good and bad memories. "I just decided to start writing from the day I met my partner, our life together, our accident, and the miracles of God after surviving the accident," she said.
"My scars motivated me. I was reminded every day of where I come from and where I am now. Every time I look at them, I am reminded of my testimony that I am sharing with the world. The testimony that is inspiring and restoring hope to so many people," she added.
The 31-year-old hails from Itsani village. She said she wanted to inspire and restore hope to people who were going through a lot. "I want to remind them that it’s not important to focus on why it happened to them. The important thing they need is reassurance that God is with them, in good and bad times," she added.
Those interested in the book can phone her on 081 066 1237.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
