My name is Present Ngobeni , born in 1998 30th of June. And this is my story in full, and in order to understand why I am who I am today is to travel back in time as i unpack. Let’s start about where all this gave birth, my eyes opened up when I was in soshanguve, my mother was a domestic worker and so was my father. My older sister also had a job, and the one I come after was studying paramedic which to my opinion is really scary, I never liked anything to do with blood and dead bodies. I only been a curious person, from as long as I can remember, but this also got me in a lot of trouble.
It was during the holidays when I got trapped in a clay pot playing hide and seek with my sister, I thought if I hopped in there, she won’t find me, obviously I was wrong. My father had to break it apart so I can get out, and since then my sister would tease me about it and I clearly wasn’t thinking straight; see another thing was how we were as a family. There are some events I remember crystal clear and there are the blurry ones, but what made me strong was an event I will never forget.
The night I told myself, this is for the last time he does this, who was it? Well, my father. As lovely as it was he always been the devil of the family, he would come home drunk and start yelling at us and chasing us out of the house. But this time it was different, he was different. It was at night, me, my little brother which is my older sister’s son, we were playing a game. We had these things where you spin them and see them create beautiful images. He found us there as a family, started going crazy. I was convinced he was high on something, maybe he had crack that day.
All we heard was my mom saying, ‘’run, get out of the house’’. It wasn’t that surprising because it wasn’t the first time. I may have been young to understand but I kind of knew that it had something to do with my mother and their argument. But still, what my little mind was able to pick up, was that my father hates us and don’t want us in the house, we ran out of the house and hid in trees so he wouldn’t see us. This dude came straight to us and forced us out of the yard.
