"I am thankful that it ended, otherwise I would not have been here"

"Don allowed me to heal in real life. When I saw him, I’d just picture my ex-husband and he knew that. Don’s character was very similar to my former husband in real life. Most people know that in real life, I was married, but it ended in tears. My real husband dumped me the same way Don dumped Zodwa. I had small children and I was left alone. As a result, I didn’t have closure"

"I had so many questions to ask my ex-husband but he was gone. When Don’s character was introduced, I managed to ask those questions. I’m also glad that writers allowed me to vent. Those who know me could see I wasn’t just acting the script, but it was real tears. He helped me to finally heal"

"I want to talk about my story to encourage young women to go to school and empower themselves. Today, I am a mother of seven children and I don’t even have matric. At the age of 21, I already had five children"

"By the age of 19 I already had two children.My parents tried so hard to show me the right path,but I was young and naive"

"At that point I already had four children.The only option was to live with the father of my youngest child.I fell pregnant again with my fifth child,but he started abusing me physically and emotionally.He told me that I would never amount to anything in life and that I have nothing to live for."
