LaFreshaman | November 7, 2019 | News | No Comments

Businesswoman and writer, Basetsana Kumalo gracefully covers The Bar magazine.

On the cover was written, “Bassie, A Testimony”, which simply means, according to the mag that:

“The many tests @basetsanakumalo has endured have resulted in a testimony for the books.”

The star shared the cover on Instagram and captioned it with some of her words:

“I am a child of faith. Even during the darkest hour of my life, I always knew that the sun would shine again and that I just needed to stay the course and cry through the pain, not escape it, process it so that I could stand in the sun tomorrow and not be bitter and angry.” Basetsana Kumalo

“I fully understand where I come from. I’m a child of the 70’s and the apartheid regime had relegated our generation to being rebels who wouldn’t amount to anything. I then decided that I was going to become a rebel with a cause, I’m going to break this mould, I’m going to challenge this system and the status quo of what black people and what a black girl child could achieve."
