This past Friday Pastor Thwala found out about a young girl who is orphaned. Her name is Zama. One of the ladies in the sewing class brought it to his attention. So he asked Zama to come to the church to meet him and so that he could hear her story. At a young age she was given away to a lady who lived in Ntshongweni. Her mother did it because she was heavily into drugs and alcohol and she does not know who her father is. Zama grew up in Ntshongweni in the home of the lady she was given to and was verbally abused by the family. The lady who she was given to recently died and she went to live with a family member of that lady. The verbal abuse has continued in this new household. Zama is 17 years old and in grade 10 and has a baby. The father of the child matriculated last year and has moved to Johannesburg. When he asked if there was a way to find any family members she said that she did not know any of them and heard that her mother had passed away sometime ago. I met her at church on Sunday and she is very humble young lady.
Please keep Zama in your prayers.
