"My boyfriend at that time used to beat me up for nothing after he had been drinking liquor. He would come back home late from shebeens and accuse me of things I had not done. Then, when I would defend myself, he would beat me."

The Sister is not healing, how long is this going to take you, each time they interview you we are told of the abuse that you been through, it is now boring, please learn to forget that negative things that happened in your life and only focus on the positive, God has kept you till this far and he has protected you and gave you wisdom and freedom to praise Him, now forget the past hurt and move on. You have a talented voice that chase the devil away, just focus on that, you will see how Great thier God is, I pray for healing for you My Sister, Keep on knocking on that Heaven door you will see soon.

15 year old with a boyfriend? That was nasty.

Why is it that these so called celebrity claiming were abused in their childhood. Rebeca told us the same story. The likes of Beyonce, Kelly Rowlands, etc. I don't trust these people.

Why, why, why do you have to live with a boyfriend at such young age? Obviously at that age many boys beat up on girls. You stay at home, if they eat pap and morogo, you eat, if they eat papa and cabbage you eat.

Anyway, all the best with your singing career.

You really cant be abused by a boyfriend/girlfriend. You just quit immediately. A boyfriend/girlfriend is a friend, not husband/ wife. It is time for you to give us a break on this abuse thing. It is very seldom to hear grown up people cry of this abuse thing. Now these girls are starting to abuse the word ABUSE.

These kind of stories are becoming boring now really, i mean some of us did experience the same things but never went to live with our boyfriends and droping out from school. Our main focus was to make sure that we get out of the situations and focused on passing grade 12 and going to tertiary.

The fact that u had a boyfrnd at 15 to me means something, awumameli qha. You ran away from home because ufuna uziphatha period.

Fikile should be honest and tell us that "My boyfriend and I would always fight when we were drunk." Why do all these so-called celebrities blame all the people for their past mistakes except themselves.

For the record, Fikile still drinks heavily and she fights when she is drunk. Who is she going to blame now?

We are tired of people who want us to feel sorry for them by blaming other people but themselves. The fact is: Wena Fikile you ran away to live with you boyfriend because you get drunk very well together, and you still drink to this day, and now you claim to be an angel - a drinking angel. At the moment when your boyfriend slept with you, what were you doing? Crying abuse? Drinking?

That's the only problem with our celebrities, we don't know when they lie or not but in most cases this things do happen serious for real and the course is people don't want to accept that their parents can't afford 1 2 3. I know other lady in my neighbourhood ko habo they are struggling and she went to leave with her boyfriend coz ko habo ke bighouse and you know what the guy is abusive coz he knows that the lady won't leave the chicken and salads for pap and cabbage.

Celebrities and people in the limelight have managers and spin-doctors. I think her record label and manager thought this will be good for records sales but also to inform the public about abuse. Whether it is the truth or not, we can only guess. I would prefer that anyone who raises an alarm about abuse must also name the person(s) that abused them ( name and shame ). If not, the whole thing just becomes a useless exercise.

Don't mean to be insensitive but her story now is not the same as she told a crowd of people attending a gospel concert in cape town 4 years ago, that the boyfriend beat her until she was admitted in hospital, upon returning from hospital she learnt that the boyfriend had killed the child.

Anyway I don't want to excuse the boyfriend's behavoiur but a lot of people are poor, do they resort to cohabitation especially at that young age. Me thinks she stayed with the boyfriend because she was rebellious not poor.

Reading through some of the comments here makes me feel so sad to see that South Africans are so used to abuse such that they generalise it,especially men's comments & they are even the ones who are perpetrators of violence in our society. So there's no sympathy whatsoever for whatever the sister has gone through? situations can push you to do certain things in life especially when you're still young with no proper guidence.

THEOZA

@ Blackwomen so we are judgemental when we blame someone for moving in with a guy at 15? She shouldn’t have done that in the first place and give an excuse of being poor? More than 70% of black families are poor, so what you are saying here is that girls born in such families should just go cohabitate? & wena you also want us to sympathise with you and stop “judging”, as you fondly put it, when you went and moved in with a guy when you, yourself had a privileged life than most , you finished your tertiary studies and instead of making life better for yourself you moved in with a guy? What you don’t tell us is that your parents might have warned you against moving in with a guy and you went on and did that.
We are so tired of people who are not wise enough to learn from other people’s mistakes and just out of ignorance & inkani just do things which will harm them in the end and then will come back and say “we must not judge”
