The lady had gambled her sister’s wedding budget and wrote about it in her new memoir Dice of Despair, which she’s been advertising on her TikTok page. She was then admitted to the hospital after her misfortune and missed the wedding:
“I wish I could go back in time and fix all the wrongs I did because of my gambling addiction, but I had to go through all that so that I can be where I am now.”
Nkabinde was a traffic officer until she drowned in her addiction. She shared that at some point she had spent R30K in 30 minutes and explained that banks and loan sharks were constantly looking for her, which made her suicidal:
“I don't know how many times I've been so close to committing suicide because of my addiction. I'm glad I didn't because I wouldn't be trying to help my fellow gamblers today.”
