Fikile explains that she would love to see other single mothers heal from their traumas:
“[I want them to see that] we can heal from the trauma of being abandoned by the fathers of our kids, and that it’s possible to find comfort in the Lord and forgive even without the person asking for forgiveness.

“Being a single mother is a whole lot [of work]. No kid deserves to be raised by just one parent, and kids are costly. However, I want single mothers to know that God provides.”
The inspiring woman said she never wanted to paint the father of her son in a bad light through her work and believes that everyone makes mistakes and deserves forgiveness:
“I am not taking [him to] maintenance court. If you want to take the father to court, then it’s okay. Just pray that you reach a more conducive decision for the child and that your cooperation is healthy.”
Fikile ends by saying that her book can be purchased online, on Takealot, or Amazon.
