Summary

Summaryβ€œI grew up with my father as my role model, but when he got involved with my mother’s cousin, I was so angry I didn’t care if I killed him. I blamed everyone but myself and became rebellious. During apartheid I was thrown into prison with gangsters and felt my life was overβ€”I had no hope. Then on August 31, 1988, on my knees at eight o’clock, I encountered God. He showed me He would love me no matter how far I’d run, and He lifted my burden. Years later, in 2016, I was astonished to receive a call from Mr. Freddie Engelbrecht: he’d nominated meβ€”the first formerly incarcerated personβ€”to serve on South Africa’s National Council for Correctional Services. Nobody but God can get the credit for that miracle! πŸ™βœ¨β€
