• The fear of heights is real and just like any problem, it can be solved by exploring some of the prominent triggers 

South Africa has beautiful monumental places to explore and one day visit with family and friends.

One lady lived her dream of one day visiting one of the tallest and dangerous bridges in the world.

Zwothe, a Limpopo lady and daredevil tried her best not to break down and cry in the middle of overcoming her fear. She visited the tallest bridge in Venda and regretted her impulsive decision halfway through:

“The mistake I will never make again.”

The bridge has no support other than the base people walk on, which makes it more dangerous especially when the wind is strong enough to knock people off. Zwothe feared for her life as she took one step forward.
