MBALI SHARES HER STORY ON SA TV

MBABANE - It is not every day that an individual gets an opportunity to share their personal story and get an audience for it.

In a brave and vulnerable moment, Eswatini Television Authority (ESTVA) presenter Mbali Simelane has shared her personal story on South African television station,  Soweto TV. Soweto TV is the biggest community television in SA; it operates from the heart of Soweto. Soweto TV has a viewership of over 2.65 million people across that country. Speaking on the TV show dubbed ‘My side of the story’ that airs every Monday at 9pm, Simelane said being invited by the SA station was great recognition for her, as she was able to share her side of her story on how she was able to heal from very painful experiences.

“My side of the story is a show that allows someone to tell a story about how she dealt with a painful situation and the healing process. You also share if you healed or not,” said Simelane.
Speaking during the interview, the Gospel Impact presenter revealed that she lost her father in 2021. During that time, her father was the only one who was working at home, so at that time, she felt like it was the end of the road for her as she was not working as well.

Imagine

“When I lost my father, I did not just lose a father but a breadwinner, as he was the only working person at home. So you can imagine the stress and confusion I faced at that moment, because I had no idea how I was going to be able to take care of the family and myself. I had two options; to sell myself to alcohol completely or to be born again and receive Jesus Christ,” she narrated. She said that while in that confusion, she received a call from Eswatini TV, inviting her to be part of the team to do the Gospel Impact show. “So automatically, I knew that I had to go to Jesus Christ and find my complete healing,” she added.

A few years before her father’s demise, Simelane said she had lost her two children. It was only at that moment that she discovered that she had never healed from losing her children.
Simelane said, “I realised when I was dealing with my father’s death that I never healed, but I was just trying to be strong for myself and my partner at that time. I was going through a lot, doing it on my own, and facing these issues on a daily basis was really difficult, but I believe Jesus was with me.” Simelane said she has not completely healed as healing is a process, but she believes with time, she will be able to heal.
