"I was born to a single mother, who lived and earned her income through selling old clothes and food on roadsides in Johannesburg. I lived or was partly raised by my grandmother until she passed on when I was 7 years old. I don’t remember much, in terms of how her passing away affected me emotionally, considering how close I was with her.
