Tiwa Savage 'inspired' by survivors of child trafficking in Hillbrow

Nigerian singing sensation Tiwa Savage walked away feeling “inspired” after meeting a group of young Hillbrow girls who were rescued from child trafficking.

Tiwa‚ who was in the country over the weekend‚ spent the afternoon with Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba and girls from the House Group in Hillbrow.

“Even though I was supposed to give these beautiful young ladies words of encouragement I ended up being more inspired by them‚” Tiwa said.

The Nigerian singer added that she was inspired by the girls’ outlook on life.

“They said they didn’t want to be seen as victims but as conquerors because the fact that they are still alive proves that God is not done with them yet. This was such a powerful moment to witness.”

Tiwa’s visit was part of a government campaign to curb child trafficking in the country.
