I love the NGO idea to try & prepare the kids for when they leave children's homes 👌🏽

I got everything I needed at the Home l grew up in, l went to Varsity and did Postgrad as well. Even now I got there for holidays.

I grew up in an orphanage too. I am from Trinidad.. I left the Home at 16yrs with no preparation. I gave my heart and life to Jesus at the age of 17yrs and that decision changed the direction of my life. Today I am a Fire Officer, married with two beautiful children. I too desire to assisr in helping children to transition into society. Many of my childhood friends either died, became vagrants, were abused etc. Others who were helped by wellmeaning families made it like me. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God loves orphans. I pray before I die that He can use me to help others who grew up like me...thank you for your story...you are my sisters for we have jouneyed the same road. Blessings.

I think rape is a thousand times worse than murder. I pray for your healing Mbali ❤️

I often have to prepare myself mentally before watching such stories because of triggers but I can never allow myself to not listen. I appreciate that this show gives survivors a chance to tell their story to us who believe them.

It’s good to know that some children’s home try to give these children good lives

I cried, I felt their pain... Gosh we get to understand how previledged one is when there's a roof over the head and food on the table. I love them both and think they are stronger woman now. I pray that God continues to Guide and comfort and reward them. This I could have watched all day. 😭😭😭

Khanyesa Sithole & Mbali Kumalo - so proud of you both for sharing your stories so eloquently. “May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness walk through your door’.

I've never encountered anyone who grew up in a children's home and these two episodes were eye opening.

The storm is now over now for both of you Sisters. May God continues to strengthen you in your life. Much love.

When Mbali was talking about her mom, I got triggered and find my self in deep emotions. I wish you ladies nothing, but the best 💜❤️.

both of them are strong beautiful women now and will continue to prosper and conquer the world..!! 👏🏽🕯️ Salute to all the Homes and Orphanages helping this poor people to find a lil bit of comfort and everyone working there..!! 🕯️🌹 Eish Mbali story maara, this uncle needs to be dealt with by umphakathi!! 🚮

Some families are truly horrible, like how can they protect a monster. The most trauma happens when those closets to you don’t believe you and gaslight you.

Woow😭 I’ve been doing Charity work for the past 20years. I came across ‘Unpacked’ and for the past 3 days, I’ve been watching most of the episodes! Big up @Relebogile!! This episode broke my heart. Personally as a founder of NGO, I’ve been doing charity work for the past 20years. The programs includes orphaned kids & teen pregnancy prevention and Teen Mothers support. What’s their sharing is very touching and I pray many NGO’s / Orphanage Centre care givers can have heart and do this passionately with love 💕 These kids never chose to be there! Life just happened 😭 Sending love and prayers to these beautiful girls and I’m so sorry you went through such trauma! I took note of their suggestions

😭😭😭parents let's believe our kids let's listen to them let's give them love let's protect them, jooh Mbali the monster is still free wow 😳justice in our country fails us but God won't fail you Mbali 🙏🥰🫂💐

Well done ladies, so well groomed, well spoken and great thinkers. If possible I wish Mbali can stay away from wherever this uncle is.

May the Lord heal these beautiful ladies and everyone who grew up in an orphanage because their childhood was rough. May you rise way above your circumstances and soar. God loves you. Please do love him too. He's our refuge.

I like how they have turned turned out to be powerful strong women, even though they haven't completely healed... They will get there eventually... Keep going ladies 💪

Strength to you Mbali and Khanyesa. Well done to your house moms at the orphanages for taking care of you. ❤️

These stories are heartbreaking, my childhood was hard when you grow you have to be willing to take off all the heartbreak layers to feel content. It feel like you have to unlearn and learn new way of living then I have find myself grateful for the how I grow up because if I didn't go through those tough I wouldn't be so keen to open myself to learn and discover so much to be content and peaceful. Life is full of prosperity and joy ahead of you. All your heartbreak and tears God will wipe them away, joy is possible after pain. Someone said something that stayed in my heart that parents they also discovering who they are so be patient with your mom I know you will learn to love when she is not on gallen level as when you are because if you keep expecting to receive love the way you know you will be frustrated all your life said well by Pastor T.D Jakes. My therapist said sometimes mother's love you can get it from any mother who show love but you have to open your heart to fulfill that gap. Wishing you both life full prosperity and joy.

I'm so captivated by Mbali's beauty😍. Love and light to both ladies❤️.

how can I get in touch with the lady who is running an NGO of children who are of age , I really want to support her

In these 2 laddies I saw/ see myself in every way because i myself grew up in different children’s homes…

I shed a tears when Mbali started talking about her mother Nd I'm still emotional.. God have mercy on you gal

An orphanage provides a safe place but the downer is that one always falls back into the system, Im married with 4 kids, I went through a depressive episode and failed to survive in the real world, resigned from work (permanent teaching post) and found my self at a shelter with my three kids, struggled to adjust to life at a shelter still yoh I feel like I can't fit at any society now. Constantly want to move. Adjustment is a big issue shame

I think the most important thing this platform brings into perspective is that we are all going through something and have inner demons that we’re fighting on a daily basis…

My heart goes out to you both.

These session are really doing the Lord's work. As far as awareness, challenging beliefs or ideas about topics that people have limited knowledge about. Providing a safe space for people to be vulnerable and tell their stories. The interviewer, is so authentic. Asks the right questions. The difficult questions, but does so respectfully and empathetically. You are really in your element here, Relebogile.❤

Prepare us when it's time to go out there and face the world

I'm sorry for what happened to you guys I pray that God restore all that what the devil stole from you 🙇‍♀️❤🙏

Ooh Mbali “how do I miss her”💔💔💔💗💗💗May God protect and bless you ladies🙏🙏🙏

May God bless you and continue to strengthen you ladies. He has come through for me.

Very touching Mbali God is watching

Mbali made me cry😭😭😭

aww Mbali sending you love and light.

I pray to God to heal Mbali, It is very sad because you are still dealing with the situation.

This episode was sooo enlightening. Wow what a powerful come back 🔥

Thank you for sharing your stories, ladies❤️❤️. Thank you, Lebo❤️❤️

Well done ladies. Take your journeys step by Steptoe, it's not an overnight thing. To us citizens that is why we need to support NGOs. They can do so much with the little resources they have. NGOs are regulated by certain laws and regulations.

I know the bullying type, at our house we used to unite against them and they didn't last long, they would get transferred quick

This is a mind opening show, with many touching stories that one learns from. I'd like to find out Lebo if you have water readily available for your guests when they get emotional? because I never see it on the table, and I never see them being offered any at the time they are emotional.

I pray for God to give you strength and wisdom.. Mbali pls stay strong nd God bless you all abundantly. I love you ladies

Wow, such beautiful powerful women! All three of you♥️♥️♥️♥️

Some families. I can relate to her story our families shield criminal uncles,fathers,brothers,step fathers and all evil rapists that rape us and because our parents ain't there to project us.

Is it even normally not to know how to hold a grudge and angers. I sometime want to be mad and angry at the people that did me wrong but it’s jut not in me, I just can’t …

They are so beautiful 😍 this is for you girls 💐💐🤗🤗🥰🥰

Even if the children's home takes up to 18 years in Mbali's case, the home together with the relevant ministry/department shld in their care plans have tentative exit/discharge plan for example another home where the over 18 years should go to until they get a skill and are empowered

That man MUST NEVER be allowed near Mbali, her child or any children. It's sickening how her family still receives him🤮 .

This was heartbreaking Relebogile you are the best

Strong women🥹

I pray u heal Mbali because ur family failed u tota,

Family members that protect and accept abusers after finding out what happened makes me sick. Almost as bad as the abuser

Interesting and sad stories too .

Yhiu, Mbali 😭

I’m so angry at Mbali’s family

Kust become systers already, you are both sooooo beautiful!

Life without mom😢mine died wen I was 5 😢😢😢

I really don't understand why some families would try to protect the child predator even after they've been convinced with evidence.

Why rape is so common in SA?what could be the major problem that caused men to rape women too much

I watched this yesterday... Was looking forward to the one I so snippets of at the end of this one

Wow what a wonderdul episode

Good show.

I really wish I could be their mentor🙏🏾

♥️♥️♥️

Uncle is too close for comfort for my liking 🤬

😭😭😭😭😭😭

Why is the uncle still alive😡

I must say it was so difficult for me to watch this episode, a lot was triggered
