Mzansi lady meets a childhood friend

In a similar story, Briefly News reported that a young lady has taken to social media to celebrate reuniting with her childhood female best friend after 16 years of being apart.

In a Twitter post, @mandyretsuko shared a throwback picture side by side a photo they took when they reunited.

Both friends seemed to have experienced remarkable transformation in both fashion sense and look from the childhood photo they took at a library.
