She is the owner of a salon and is a self-taught make-up artist who also manufactures hair weaves. She leased a shop from a man who recently tried to force her to have physical relations with him.
Taking a leap of bravery in order to let other women out there know that it is okay to stand up for themselves, Namhle shared her story on social media. She shared footage of an altercation she had with the shop owner after he made passes at her and her staff members.
Namhle was not about to sit back and let this man treat women like they were pieces of meat that he had the right to. Yes, she lost her business over it, however, Namhle feels she has won a small battle for women.
Babes, your bravery is inspiring!

"Imagine it's 3:10 AM and the guy upstairs who has a flat ontop of mine is beating the he'll out of his girlfriend. They are so loud and the noise is so ridiculous, the crying, floor banging and banging of the bed and stuff breaking woke me up.
"I put on my track-pants and went and knocked on their door. I was hurt not only by gender based violence but also by the fact that they woke me from my sleep."
