Who else cried when Gugu was narrating the story about her walking to and from helping her mother out in Marabastat? because I did. From her ability to be vulnerable on camera and let us all in into her journey to where she is right now, this lady is so inspiring to so many. Thank you for allowing God to use you and may He continue to bless you and your family with bigger and better things in life because man, oh man, you don't know what more he has in store for you. 🙏
I’m crying now because can soooooo relate. Both my parents are late and when I graduated last year and got qualified as a lawyer, it was soooo personal. I am a testament to fighting against depression and poverty. You really are an inspiration, sisi. I even remember a time I couldn’t even go home during recess in my first year and I only had a sack of avocados in my fridge. I am proud to say that I’m doing my masters now. I am living the prayers I cried to God about a few years ago. I see your heart sisi. May God continue to see you.
Thank you Gugu for your words of encouragement to a 47 year old single mom that had to move back home because life was showing me flames although I'm employed but finances have me by a choke-hold. Ngiyabonga for reminding me that God is still in the business of performing miracles in spite of our challenges. ❤❤❤❤
Gugu, I used to think we were rich because my mom was a nurse until a man from Bradlows came with a truck to take back the sofas she was not paying for because she had paid for my boarding school fees. Story of a black child. Thank you for sharing my love and look at us now. Proudly rural but doing much better than our parents. 🙏🏾❤️
This hits home!! Our backgrounds and past experiences don't define us... Soo proud of every little girl who looked beyond the circumstance and still DREAMED!!
One thing that I love about your channel is how freely you show your husband. There’s something so pure about it, especially in our community where we don’t see this enough. May God bless your marriage abundantly and give you many more years . Thank you for sharing ❤
Sis I came from a skwatta camp and today I’m a whole medical doctor😭😭, I can relate so deeply with your story, I was crying with you. We are so proud of you sis ❤️❤️
When I say I love you I mean it❤ I graduated in 2020 and Im still struggling to find a job, no interviews just rejection emails or no feedback at all😢. My family situation is also similiar to your past at the moment and I cant wait to get over this lowest point of my life and live the life I dream of . I am the first of 6 siblings to complete High School and Tertiary education and I sometimes feel like the pressure is on me to give my family a better life and also for me to be in a better position 🙏 Thank you for always sharing your past struggles and encouraging us that things will get better. I cried so much because of the relatedness 😢. I will be strong, I will get through this and I am tough. ❤ Thank you Gugu❤❤
Hi Sine, I’m a new subbie working my way back on your vlogs and I just wanna thank you personally for this one. I have a personal issue with following SA TH-camrs because I find most of them unrelatable as I’m from a poor background but trying to work up my life. I am grateful to hear your story because it gave me hope. THANK YOU ❤
Thank you Gugu. You’re such an inspiration. You have definitely shown me that a situation is never permanent. I was raised by my mom, she struggled and still is struggling to put food on the table and to pay my tuition but I am here now getting ready to graduate and become a Medical Doctor in October. Everyone around me keeps telling me I won’t get a job because of what is currently happening, doctors are unemployed. But I have faith that I will get a job bcz God knows I need this job to take care of myself and my mom. I can’t wait to get to a point where my mom and I talk about our life now in the past tense. Thank you again Gugu. May God bless you. Your word’s have given me so much hope.
Thee most honest and transparent person I've ever seen . Your vulnerability is healing us out here . Now we know we're not alone. Thank you Gugu may God bless you abundantly. ❤
...Everytime Gugu speaks about her past 🙌🏼I CANT HOLD BACK THE TEARS BUT CRY🥺😭❤️It's how God can turn your tears into Testimonies...Gugu God Loves You Dearly Ma Darling 💐💐💐💐
I cried so much watching this video. This reminded me that I’ve come too far. My childhood wasn’t easy but I made it out of that dark place. Thank God for my granny who protected us with all she could. This wasn’t triggering. It was healing for me. Thank you Gugu for being real. Big girls do cry. It’s healing. ❤
😢😢i didnt think watching this id end up crying..i grew up very nice but things changed when my parents died and left us with all their debt ..im struggling so much but i keep on pushing..watching you gives me so much hope that one day everything will be ok..ngiya bonga sisi
I'm not where I thought I would be at the age of 30. The struggle has been a real journey. Looking at influencers like yourself who are genuine and real inspires a whole lot of us. I have been through the most and currently as much as I am not where I thought I would be by now, I look back and realized that I have overcome by Gods grace situations and obstacles that I thought would be the end of me. Thank you for the reminder. It is not over until God says so. I am still pushing and trusting God.
Hello Gugu, am a mum of 3 and originally from Zambia, living in Pretoria, I feel your pain, went through a similar situation, my mum hassled for us, we were 8 at home, I know the pain, but we thank God for those episodes , we are stronger women, but I promised myself my children will not go through that, Well done for sharing this to the world, one person out there will be healed from this. Focus on the brighter days ahead, God saw your pain and struggles and took you out of that pit. I love watching you, esp when your husband, we do that in Zambia as well...wow
Big girls can cry, cry tears of joy because where we come from, helps us to define where we decide to end up. So the tears can be a celebration of how things have changed for the better. Struggles strengthen us, so celebrate how far you’ve come, even through tears. I bet you that your mom is super proud of you, and that all her efforts were worth it. Blessings to you!
The reason I always come back to your channel is because you're authentic and relatable. I love how you own up your truth and not live a lie. Keep it up Gugu! I personally believe you deserve all the good things coming your way. Listen... God is making yol pause on the house project for a reason. It will come and it'll be everything you've ever prayed and hoped for😊.
Yoooh Sis Gugu. You reminded me of my own story, the difference between where I came from and where I am... hard work, determination, prayer, God. Modimo o moholo yoooh. Thank you sisi 😊
Gugu you brought me to tears, my husband and i bought land in 2020 and we haven't even started building yet. i was starting to feel like a failure and asking myself why this is happening to us. I've just started a small business to help him out financially. hearing about your mom's story and how she did her best to assist your dad gave me courage. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. You are indeed an Angel from God. I love you so much💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
You and hubz need to go and speak over that land. Walk over it declaring that you will build your house ( set a date of completion) everything has ears, declare it in the name of Jesus and it would be done. Look for a bible verse to stand on. If you can't go to the land print out the picture of it .
@@NeliseAbigael. thank you so much for your wise words, will definitely take your advice... i will come back to this comment section one day and give you a testimony💌
Gugu you are making us cry now! You worked hard for everything you have and now you are reaping the fruits of your hard labor. I'm 26 and haven't achieved anything I want in life but you motivate and inspire me so much❤❤
"The current suffering is nothing compared to the joy that is about to come" can relate to your story as a varsity student. People back at home think we living a lavish lifestyle but there's a lot of struggles behind yet at the end of the day the storms shall turn into something beautiful😊❤you're such an inspiration sis Gugu
It is okay to cry. I am watching you from Florida USA. It is always emotional looking back and seeing how far we've come. Wishing you continued blessings.
It always amazes me to see how God blesses marriage, especially when the husband takes good care of his family and the wife's heart is at peace. One day you will remember this video while you are at your dream home. Nothing is impossible. You spoke it, You believe it now watch it manifest. God bless you sis❤
You are quickly becoming one of my favourite TH-camrs. After watching you on @Yolzchannel I knew you were a gem. This video Unravelled me and it helped me. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness. May God bless you and your husband and your home. ❤️🌻
Hearing you talk about your past made me cry. Yho I was never ready for that because I relate to what you went through and your traumas heavily. I used to walk for an hour to my moms work as a cleaner and I would sit at the back and wait for her to finish. At home we used to eat cabbage and rice almost daily or potatoes and rice. Even now I worked hard to get to where I am with the help of my amazing mom and my husband later on but seeing how much my mother works hard brings tears to my eyes. I’m also trying to move to a better place from where we are now which is where I also stayed when we were struggling. Your motivating words inspire me to not give up. You words moved me deeply. Thank you for being authentic because I sometimes compare myself to others and wonder why is my progress so slow.
Gugu😭 your genuiness and your intentionality with your channel shines through. Your testimony is a ministry, you speaking to first borns, the struggles are real but our God is bigger. There is so much I took from this vlog and I have decided to never ever feel sorry for my situation but to work harder and pray through it. Love you can't wait to see the moving vlog ❤
There is a saying "Maybe life is not about avoiding the scars, maybe it's about collecting them to prove we show up"... and sis Gugu through it all you showed up and worked through your way out of all those scars. I am certain your younger self is just remarkably so PROUD of the woman you are today God's blessings ❤❤❤
Thank you for being vulnerable with us Gugu. Its so refreshing and encouraging. May God show Himself in your lives and give you the desires of your hearts according to His will. ❤❤❤
There are so many of us (your subbies) who relate to the vulnerable moment you had in this vlog♥Seeing how God has blessed you and answered so many of your prayers, gives us, who believe but are tired hope for a better and brighter future, not only for ourselves but for our parents/families. I love you so much and I thank you for opening up. I pray God continues to use you for the amazing work that he is doing for so many black women in South Africa.
It doesn't matter how we start but how we finish! Thank you for trusting us with your story! I'm so proud of you and the woman you are becoming on a daily basis!❤❤
The pain of not being able to call your mom and ask for financial assistance while you at res has to be the saddest part im currently doing my first year i still haven't received my NSFAS allowance its tough yoh my grocery is finished i cant go back home now because im waiting on my mom to find a little bit of money so that i can come home for recess but i know one day ill be successful and this will be a testimony you inspire me Sis gugu
Everything you went through brought you to this moment. It built your character. You were being prepared for bigger things. That situation when you had to walk to Marabastad it was preparing you to not take things for granted. That's why today you get to appreciate everything that's happening to you. Keep on keeping on❤
Yooo nda Lila sana!!! Thank you for the strong message, I'm going to keep going and support my family. Hope you took your mom off that struggle. Luv u Gugu
Oww Sine ntombi thank you for reminding me to thank the Lord, I may not be where I'd love to be in life rn but I'm not where I was iminyaka edlulileyo♥️ Thank you for your testimony
I usually don't comment on TH-cam because I don't watch on the phone, but I came back to comment because your message and experience resonated so much! I found myself bawling endlessly, but so so inspired by your journey and consistent focus on getting up. Lord knows it takes so much! And I understand the scars, sometimes you catch yourself after years, almost like your body/mind remembers even amidst the gratitude. Well done to you and the family on the new home. Wishing you the very best!
First borns go through the most with their parents. Please give us hugs we really need them ❤. My husband and I went through so much last year and God gave us a breakthrough this year. All those tears sleepless nights early mornings… are finally starting to show off. I’m so happy for you Gugu, all your achievements we see them😭.
There is a time and a season for everything Gugs. God will surely bless you with the house you want when the time is right. Keep grinding. And thank you for sharing your story with us!
This video made me love you so so much more! Trust me, most of us can relate to your childhood story but look at all of us now improving. It is not perfect neither what we want but God is showing up little by little and one day soon, we'll live our dream/answered prayer.
Uyandikhalisa. I have been here since day 1. Sisi your entire life is a sermon. Every time i watch your videos im revived, i just know there is a God somewhere and He is listening. You also make me realize that hard work pays. Congratulations are in order Mrs K💃🏼. Salute. Its ok to look back and cry uyasiqinisa thina. Good motivational speaker. Look at God.
Thank you for this video sis. Indlela ohumble ngayo iyandiphilisa. You are so humble and so full of gratitude. I'm happy for all the good that God continues to bring into your life.
Not Gugu making us cry so early in the morning. Love your authenticity. I can relate to your story ,we suffered but we pulled through. So proud of you Sisi. Trust there's still more to come.
Ohhhh Gugu we don’t deserve you sana, Thank you for being so vulnerable, thank you for being you, thank you for reviving hope in us, You don’t know how many lives you touch by just telling us your stories. ❤ We also thank you God for your husband,a supportive man… May god continue blessing you guys maan!!
Thank you for pouring your heart Gugu , I am sure it was not easy. Being a black child 80/90 % comes with struggles but it definitely gets better. You are doing great!❤
My daughter introduced me to your channel last month, I'm glad she did. I'm not into vlogs, I DON'T really like watching them I always thought it's a waste of time. But I enjoy watching your channel, I feel like God speaks to me through you. I love how real you're, I have so much to share but will live it here for now. God bless you & your marriage sisi 💕🙏.....KEEP SHARING YOUR TRUTH 🌻
Weeping may only stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning, when God wipes our tears away He really wipes them for sure. Thank you for always sharing with us and being vulnerable with us Gugu💛.
This is such a very raw and moving vlog. That sit down is everything. We appreciate it and you. I've been following you for a while now and because of your sit-downs I've decided to start my own channel. Yesterday I posted my first ever mini vlog and I enjoyed it so much. With that being said...Please don't ever stop doing these sit downs
Joh Gugu. Spoke to my soul, Thank you so much for being faithful and sharing your testimony so honestly. I pray that those places that hurt will heal and be the foundation of a wholistic upbringing for your future children. They will be blessed to have a mom like you
The sufferings of today can not be compared to the glory that is yet to come, thank you for sharing your story and giving us hope, it's a testimony to us and I pray God walks with you in your house journey as he says we should cast our plans to Him so they may be established.
Oh Gugu ❤ I’m sending you a virtual hug. I hope the future you’re building for yourself and your family will help you heal from the hurt of your childhood. Also, you’re doing amazing for yourself. We’re literally watching you break generational curse of poverty in your family’s life. May your hard work always be rewarded 🙏
This was such a beautiful and inspirational vlog Gugs. Please feel free to be vulnerable with us because we can relate and we love such testimonies, It’s okay to cry about your past because that’s how you see the greatness of God and that’s how you see that what you’ve always wanted is achievable. Live in the moment of your new space n God will deliver the house you want at the right time like he delivered with everything you wished for when you were in varsity. Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊it’s really beautiful to see you grow for one point to the other. We appreciate you mama. Well done💐
🥺😭those last minutes of the vlog had me weeping! I'm a new subbie - a month old - and I must confess, you've turned into a fave. Thank you for being SO REAL about your life, mostly for sharing it with us, I've been looking forward to your uploads ever since I became a subbie and this new upload? So profound, telling us about your "growing up" story, the not having your own bedroom part made me so emotional because I can relate. You are such a relatable influencer/TH-camr, please don't EVER change. You deserve all the blessings and good things that are currently happening in your life and may God continue to bless you even more, I know you're going to get approved for your dream house very soon and I can wait for us to be a part of the people who get to witness that blessing with you. You give me SO MUCH hope, and for that thank you, for being you.
I'm 32 and live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband and 2 kids and I'm so frustrated with the smaller space and I'm just praying to God to bless us with a bigger space. I don't even buy clothes for myself anymore. Anyways thabks for sharing such an uplifting story
In a time when everyone is trying to curate a perfect picture with no past but a perfect now captured in a single post/upload, thank you for sharing your story. ❤️ I am certain you’ve touched many with your story and have brought us back to the reality of what life is - it’s about seasons and every one of them has a beginning and an end. Your past struggles ended at a point in time, your life in an apartment started and has come to an end, your life in a rented house is about to start and will end, and sooner than later (in Jesus’ name) your life in your family home will start and may that season be a long one. 🙏🏿 Praying blessings upon you and Bae, your best days are certainly ahead of you.
thank you for being so transparent. NOT ME SHARING A TEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU AND YOUR MOM USED TO DO. i am also a varsity student helping my moms to sell carpets so that she can provide for my younger sister and brother. I really like you content so much❤❤
Sis gugu this exactly what i need .I related so much . I know what you went through sometimes i feel like giving up but people like you who share their life stories they are the reason im standing the have been multiple times i thought of suicide but stories like this prove that theres indeed light at the end of the tunnel but i know one day this situation Im in right know will be a thing of the past Thank you Sis Gugu Kuthwa ekunyamezeleni ukhona umvuzo May God multiply whatever you have a million times yhoo I held my tears sarna ngise taxini yhoo😢 but again thank you
What a testimony🙏. God did it. All the challenges you experienced built your character and who you are today. We all reminisce occasionally and crying isn't a sign of weakness. It can help release a few things that you have been carrying.
I can't believe somebody advised you to come here and lie😂😂 people are so weird hey.. thank you Gugu for your honesty and vulnerability always. You're the most relatable content creator and we love you ❤❤
Gugu, you have no idea what it does for us whose come up is still in progress when you are this real about your journey. I wish you more of the goodness you’re experiencing ❤️ love you so much!
Hi Gugu, our childhood struggles have made us the strong women that we are today. Our patents really tried and persevered. I love your future plans for this channel and really looking forward to that.
I am balling my eyes out as I listen to the stories about your struggles. They remind me of my very own and how I always said I will do the most for my mom once I get a well-paying job. I could do some things for her but she passed before I could do all the I ever wanted to do for her. You are doing well Gugu and God is indeed faithful.
Yohh couldn't hold back the tears...🥺. Thank you for being so authentic, vulnerable and just an amazing person. You really encouraging us to stay strong and not give up. Really appreciate your content. ❤️😘
I love how authentic and super real you are. And I want to say, you deserve it sis. You deserve the life you’re living right now. I’m sorry that you come from very humble beginnings. It’s all God’s plan because today you’re able to be relatable and be an inspiration to young individuals. May God continue to bless you. Aaaaaaaaand! Congratulations on your new home! Pupupu!🎉🥳
yooo Sis Gugu you always touch my heart. You're so real and as a young lady, still in varsity pursuing my Masters I'm genuinely inspired by your story.
If I could like this video a million times, I would💞 Thank you for your authenticity Gugu, I truly believe that's what sets you apart.. Words are sooo powerful, thank you for imparting life through your words.. May God continue to bless you sisi. We love to see you rise!
I loved this SO much. My husband overheard the conversation and was interested AND inspired too. And he never bothers to ask me who am I watching now again. You are truly so authentic and I love it. ❤❤
Gugu my angel, I love you so much. Thank you for always being yourself and so true to who you are. Here's my advice for the house situation - If you have been approved for the 3 bedroom, please take it gorgeous because you know you can sell it when your family grows for millions and that can help you buy a bigger house unlike renting again for a year and the money basically goes down the drain, with a bond you know it's an investment because property appreciates especially in upper areas. I hope you see this, the decision is ultimately yours. I love your vlogs so much, I even wake my husband up to watch you every Sunday.
Not me crying with you 😢 your vulnerability is so real, you are so relatable Gugu! Thank u for this video ❤❤❤❤I honestly needed to watch this tonight 🙏🏽
I love you so much ke sana. Keep being real and God will bless you with the desires of your heart. SO to your hard working and bubbly mom who paved a way for you and May God bless your dad who held it down and never ran away from his family when things were tough. Happy Father’s Day to your dear father ❤
You are so real and that’s what draws us in. A similar sharing session on your “I bought a Merc” vlog is what got me subscribed. You are relatable and so inspiring. It’s so beautiful how life can take a turn for the best. Thank you for showing and reminding us this truth 💚
I been on TH-cam for long while watcing vlogs and content of influencers, but am proud to say your one of the real one's out here... sending you love gugu from Liberia west Africa...
Oh Gugu, those who sow in tears will reap in joy! Big girls do cry and it’s okay. Your vlog touched my heart and I couldn’t stop the tears. Congratulations on your new home, I’m sure you will do a stunning job and take good care of it as you have done with your apartment. ❤ Thank you for being so authentic and genuine
I have never come across to someone who is open and transparent as you. When never I watch your vlogs I am inspired love you Gugu. Congratulations on your new home 🏡💃💐❤️
Thank you Gugu for being Authentic and Genuine in giving us content that one can relate to. Some of your life experiences does hit home especially when you have walked in the same path. I know how it feels to grow up struggling and seeing your parents fight to make ends meet. It is not easy but Through God we turn out to do well in life and still continue to strive for a Better Life. I usually watch your Videos and hardly comment but, today I thought let me come here and give you your Flowers for being an inspiration to us young Woman who are still struggling with scars of the past. Love you and keep being Real and Humble. God bless you. ❤
Ohw sisi😢, I literally found my self crying while watching, I can relate so much and I know one day I would also be the one who gives words of encouragement to someone else because I would have gone through it all too. I love your content, I love how raw and open you're to us. Thank you for this ❤. God used you.
When your parents sacrifice so much for you just know you are truly loved and blessed 🙏🏾 I love how you turned your situation around, growing up might have been a huge struggle for you but you are now reaping the rewards of your hard work.

Gugu, I used to think we were rich because my mom was a nurse until a man from Bradlows came with a truck to take back the sofas she was not paying for because she had paid for my boarding school fees. Story of a black child. Thank you for sharing my love and look at us now. Proudly rural but doing much better than our parents. 🙏🏾❤️

Hi Sine, I’m a new subbie working my way back on your vlogs and I just wanna thank you personally for this one. I have a personal issue with following SA TH-camrs because I find most of them unrelatable as I’m from a poor background but trying to work up my life. I am grateful to hear your story because it gave me hope. THANK YOU ❤
Thank you Gugu. You’re such an inspiration.
You have definitely shown me that a situation is never permanent.
I was raised by my mom, she struggled and still is struggling to put food on the table and to pay my tuition but I am here now getting ready to graduate and become a Medical Doctor in October.
Everyone around me keeps telling me I won’t get a job because of what is currently happening, doctors are unemployed. But I have faith that I will get a job bcz God knows I need this job to take care of myself and my mom.
I can’t wait to get to a point where my mom and I talk about our life now in the past tense.
Thank you again Gugu. May God bless you. Your word’s have given me so much hope.
You will get your dream job. Have faith .
Luckily those people are not God! I can’t wait for your testimony 😍😍
You will get your dream job other people's stories ain't yours
You are the change your mom prayed for baby
God's speed to you.. ska wara you will get a job..🎉🎉 congratulations in advance..
God is faithful and he will prove that to you sisi..you already have a job and life is about to change for you and mom 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤
Thee most honest and transparent person I've ever seen . Your vulnerability is healing us out here . Now we know we're not alone. Thank you Gugu may God bless you abundantly. ❤

I cried so much watching this video. This reminded me that I’ve come too far. My childhood wasn’t easy but I made it out of that dark place. Thank God for my granny who protected us with all she could. This wasn’t triggering. It was healing for me.
Thank you Gugu for being real.
Big girls do cry. It’s healing. ❤
😢😢i didnt think watching this id end up crying..i grew up very nice but things changed when my parents died and left us with all their debt ..im struggling so much but i keep on pushing..watching you gives me so much hope that one day everything will be ok..ngiya bonga sisi
I'm not where I thought I would be at the age of 30. The struggle has been a real journey. Looking at influencers like yourself who are genuine and real inspires a whole lot of us. I have been through the most and currently as much as I am not where I thought I would be by now, I look back and realized that I have overcome by Gods grace situations and obstacles that I thought would be the end of me. Thank you for the reminder. It is not over until God says so. I am still pushing and trusting God.
Hello Gugu, am a mum of 3 and originally from Zambia, living in Pretoria, I feel your pain, went through a similar situation, my mum hassled for us, we were 8 at home, I know the pain, but we thank God for those episodes , we are stronger women, but I promised myself my children will not go through that, Well done for sharing this to the world, one person out there will be healed from this. Focus on the brighter days ahead, God saw your pain and struggles and took you out of that pit. I love watching you, esp when your husband, we do that in Zambia as well...wow
Big girls can cry, cry tears of joy because where we come from, helps us to define where we decide to end up. So the tears can be a celebration of how things have changed for the better. Struggles strengthen us, so celebrate how far you’ve come, even through tears. I bet you that your mom is super proud of you, and that all her efforts were worth it. Blessings to you!
BIG GIRLS CRY! ❤ Look at you now, so much love, joy, and hard work! We love you ke sisi and we appreciate your perseverance!.
The reason I always come back to your channel is because you're authentic and relatable. I love how you own up your truth and not live a lie. Keep it up Gugu! I personally believe you deserve all the good things coming your way. Listen... God is making yol pause on the house project for a reason. It will come and it'll be everything you've ever prayed and hoped for😊.
Yoooh Sis Gugu. You reminded me of my own story, the difference between where I came from and where I am... hard work, determination, prayer, God. Modimo o moholo yoooh. Thank you sisi 😊
Gugu you brought me to tears, my husband and i bought land in 2020 and we haven't even started building yet. i was starting to feel like a failure and asking myself why this is happening to us. I've just started a small business to help him out financially. hearing about your mom's story and how she did her best to assist your dad gave me courage. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. You are indeed an Angel from God. I love you so much💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
You and hubz need to go and speak over that land. Walk over it declaring that you will build your house ( set a date of completion) everything has ears, declare it in the name of Jesus and it would be done. Look for a bible verse to stand on. If you can't go to the land print out the picture of it .
To add I've seen people build a house from ground to finish in 3 months. Anything is possible with Jehovah, commit your plans to God
@@NeliseAbigael. thank you so much for your wise words, will definitely take your advice... i will come back to this comment section one day and give you a testimony💌
@@SelinaNyimani-yg2gq You're welcome. I'll be praying for you guys . Also as an advice, keep quiet about this building matter until the house is done.
Yhoo we had have the same challenge, we have land and I don’t see any hope of us building anytime soon😢😢😢
Gugu you are making us cry now! You worked hard for everything you have and now you are reaping the fruits of your hard labor. I'm 26 and haven't achieved anything I want in life but you motivate and inspire me so much❤❤
When the time is right God will make it happen trust me
I just discovered your content and I don't get moved by influencers but sis your authenticity really touched me. God bless you and your mom!
"The current suffering is nothing compared to the joy that is about to come" can relate to your story as a varsity student. People back at home think we living a lavish lifestyle but there's a lot of struggles behind yet at the end of the day the storms shall turn into something beautiful😊❤you're such an inspiration sis Gugu
I can relate to
It is okay to cry. I am watching you from Florida USA. It is always emotional looking back and seeing how far we've come. Wishing you continued blessings.
It always amazes me to see how God blesses marriage, especially when the husband takes good care of his family and the wife's heart is at peace.
One day you will remember this video while you are at your dream home. Nothing is impossible. You spoke it, You believe it now watch it manifest.
God bless you sis❤
You are quickly becoming one of my favourite TH-camrs. After watching you on @Yolzchannel I knew you were a gem. This video Unravelled me and it helped me. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness. May God bless you and your husband and your home. ❤️🌻
I'm crying right now what you should know is that your authenticity inpires us sis. Keep going sis
Hearing you talk about your past made me cry. Yho I was never ready for that because I relate to what you went through and your traumas heavily. I used to walk for an hour to my moms work as a cleaner and I would sit at the back and wait for her to finish. At home we used to eat cabbage and rice almost daily or potatoes and rice. Even now I worked hard to get to where I am with the help of my amazing mom and my husband later on but seeing how much my mother works hard brings tears to my eyes. I’m also trying to move to a better place from where we are now which is where I also stayed when we were struggling. Your motivating words inspire me to not give up. You words moved me deeply. Thank you for being authentic because I sometimes compare myself to others and wonder why is my progress so slow.
Gugu😭 your genuiness and your intentionality with your channel shines through. Your testimony is a ministry, you speaking to first borns, the struggles are real but our God is bigger. There is so much I took from this vlog and I have decided to never ever feel sorry for my situation but to work harder and pray through it. Love you can't wait to see the moving vlog ❤
There is a saying "Maybe life is not about avoiding the scars, maybe it's about collecting them to prove we show up"... and sis Gugu through it all you showed up and worked through your way out of all those scars. I am certain your younger self is just remarkably so PROUD of the woman you are today God's blessings ❤❤❤

Thank you for being vulnerable with us Gugu. Its so refreshing and encouraging. May God show Himself in your lives and give you the desires of your hearts according to His will. ❤❤❤
There are so many of us (your subbies) who relate to the vulnerable moment you had in this vlog♥Seeing how God has blessed you and answered so many of your prayers, gives us, who believe but are tired hope for a better and brighter future, not only for ourselves but for our parents/families. I love you so much and I thank you for opening up. I pray God continues to use you for the amazing work that he is doing for so many black women in South Africa.
Thank you for letting us in and being authentic💗🥹
It doesn't matter how we start but how we finish! Thank you for trusting us with your story! I'm so proud of you and the woman you are becoming on a daily basis!❤❤
Very proud 🙏🏼🙌🏼
The pain of not being able to call your mom and ask for financial assistance while you at res has to be the saddest part im currently doing my first year i still haven't received my NSFAS allowance its tough yoh my grocery is finished i cant go back home now because im waiting on my mom to find a little bit of money so that i can come home for recess but i know one day ill be successful and this will be a testimony you inspire me Sis gugu
Everything you went through brought you to this moment. It built your character. You were being prepared for bigger things. That situation when you had to walk to Marabastad it was preparing you to not take things for granted. That's why today you get to appreciate everything that's happening to you. Keep on keeping on❤
Yooo nda Lila sana!!! Thank you for the strong message, I'm going to keep going and support my family. Hope you took your mom off that struggle. Luv u Gugu
Oww Sine ntombi thank you for reminding me to thank the Lord, I may not be where I'd love to be in life rn but I'm not where I was iminyaka edlulileyo♥️
Thank you for your testimony
The realest influencer I know.I personally learn a lot from you😢.Congratulations on your new space Gugu🎉❤
I usually don't comment on TH-cam because I don't watch on the phone, but I came back to comment because your message and experience resonated so much! I found myself bawling endlessly, but so so inspired by your journey and consistent focus on getting up. Lord knows it takes so much! And I understand the scars, sometimes you catch yourself after years, almost like your body/mind remembers even amidst the gratitude.
Well done to you and the family on the new home. Wishing you the very best!
A win is a win Gugu. You deserve everything good coming your way.
This is beyond being real. Thank u cc. God bless your steps
First borns go through the most with their parents. Please give us hugs we really need them ❤.
My husband and I went through so much last year and God gave us a breakthrough this year. All those tears sleepless nights early mornings… are finally starting to show off.
I’m so happy for you Gugu, all your achievements we see them😭.
There is a time and a season for everything Gugs. God will surely bless you with the house you want when the time is right. Keep grinding. And thank you for sharing your story with us!
This video made me love you so so much more!
Trust me, most of us can relate to your childhood story but look at all of us now improving. It is not perfect neither what we want but God is showing up little by little and one day soon, we'll live our dream/answered prayer.
Uyandikhalisa. I have been here since day 1. Sisi your entire life is a sermon. Every time i watch your videos im revived, i just know there is a God somewhere and He is listening. You also make me realize that hard work pays. Congratulations are in order Mrs K💃🏼. Salute.
Its ok to look back and cry uyasiqinisa thina. Good motivational speaker. Look at God.
Thank you for this video sis. Indlela ohumble ngayo iyandiphilisa. You are so humble and so full of gratitude. I'm happy for all the good that God continues to bring into your life.
Not Gugu making us cry so early in the morning. Love your authenticity. I can relate to your story ,we suffered but we pulled through. So proud of you Sisi. Trust there's still more to come.
Ohhhh Gugu we don’t deserve you sana, Thank you for being so vulnerable, thank you for being you, thank you for reviving hope in us, You don’t know how many lives you touch by just telling us your stories. ❤
We also thank you God for your husband,a supportive man… May god continue blessing you guys maan!!
Thank you for pouring your heart Gugu , I am sure it was not easy. Being a black child 80/90 % comes with struggles but it definitely gets better.
You are doing great!❤
My daughter introduced me to your channel last month, I'm glad she did. I'm not into vlogs, I DON'T really like watching them I always thought it's a waste of time. But I enjoy watching your channel, I feel like God speaks to me through you. I love how real you're, I have so much to share but will live it here for now. God bless you & your marriage sisi 💕🙏.....KEEP SHARING YOUR TRUTH 🌻
I literally cried while Gugu was talking about how her mom felt pain seeing her walk while she was on a bus. Wow 😢
Weeping may only stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning, when God wipes our tears away He really wipes them for sure. Thank you for always sharing with us and being vulnerable with us Gugu💛.
Don’t apologize for crying Gugu , it’s all part of your testimony. Thanks for sharing part of your story ❤from 🇿🇼
This is such a very raw and moving vlog. That sit down is everything. We appreciate it and you. I've been following you for a while now and because of your sit-downs I've decided to start my own channel. Yesterday I posted my first ever mini vlog and I enjoyed it so much. With that being said...Please don't ever stop doing these sit downs
I like that she missed a step and they showed us some other people they edit and act as if everything is smooth
@@nombu700lelo8 True. She is so real and relatable. I hope she never stops being who she is
Just subscribed on your channel
@@nombu700lelo8OH Thank you so much😊
Joh Gugu. Spoke to my soul, Thank you so much for being faithful and sharing your testimony so honestly.
I pray that those places that hurt will heal and be the foundation of a wholistic upbringing for your future children. They will be blessed to have a mom like you
The sufferings of today can not be compared to the glory that is yet to come, thank you for sharing your story and giving us hope, it's a testimony to us and I pray God walks with you in your house journey as he says we should cast our plans to Him so they may be established.
Oh Gugu ❤ I’m sending you a virtual hug. I hope the future you’re building for yourself and your family will help you heal from the hurt of your childhood.
Also, you’re doing amazing for yourself. We’re literally watching you break generational curse of poverty in your family’s life. May your hard work always be rewarded 🙏
This was such a beautiful and inspirational vlog Gugs. Please feel free to be vulnerable with us because we can relate and we love such testimonies, It’s okay to cry about your past because that’s how you see the greatness of God and that’s how you see that what you’ve always wanted is achievable. Live in the moment of your new space n God will deliver the house you want at the right time like he delivered with everything you wished for when you were in varsity.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊it’s really beautiful to see you grow for one point to the other. We appreciate you mama. Well done💐
I hope u know how many young girls u are inspiring Gugu...thank u for always sharing ur journey ❤
Don’t ever despise a rough start. It made who you are today : a compassionate person. You very kind and you can see it in how you treat your husband ❤
God bless you and your family, Gugu!
🥺😭those last minutes of the vlog had me weeping! I'm a new subbie - a month old - and I must confess, you've turned into a fave. Thank you for being SO REAL about your life, mostly for sharing it with us, I've been looking forward to your uploads ever since I became a subbie and this new upload? So profound, telling us about your "growing up" story, the not having your own bedroom part made me so emotional because I can relate. You are such a relatable influencer/TH-camr, please don't EVER change. You deserve all the blessings and good things that are currently happening in your life and may God continue to bless you even more, I know you're going to get approved for your dream house very soon and I can wait for us to be a part of the people who get to witness that blessing with you. You give me SO MUCH hope, and for that thank you, for being you.
I'm 32 and live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband and 2 kids and I'm so frustrated with the smaller space and I'm just praying to God to bless us with a bigger space. I don't even buy clothes for myself anymore. Anyways thabks for sharing such an uplifting story
May God bless you with all your heart desires sis.
@@nomsatorcida9612 I receive dear. I pray the same for you as well
All will work out, I can resonate❤ May you be blessed and God heard our prayers and he’s faithful.😊
@@kelemrwashu Amen. May God bless you too 🙏
In a time when everyone is trying to curate a perfect picture with no past but a perfect now captured in a single post/upload, thank you for sharing your story. ❤️ I am certain you’ve touched many with your story and have brought us back to the reality of what life is - it’s about seasons and every one of them has a beginning and an end. Your past struggles ended at a point in time, your life in an apartment started and has come to an end, your life in a rented house is about to start and will end, and sooner than later (in Jesus’ name) your life in your family home will start and may that season be a long one. 🙏🏿
Praying blessings upon you and Bae, your best days are certainly ahead of you.
thank you for being so transparent. NOT ME SHARING A TEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU AND YOUR MOM USED TO DO. i am also a varsity student helping my moms to sell carpets so that she can provide for my younger sister and brother. I really like you content so much❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story 🫶🏼 keep creating content so you keep inspiring others ❤️
Sis gugu this exactly what i need .I related so much . I know what you went through sometimes i feel like giving up but people like you who share their life stories they are the reason im standing the have been multiple times i thought of suicide but stories like this prove that theres indeed light at the end of the tunnel but i know one day this situation Im in right know will be a thing of the past
Thank you Sis Gugu
Kuthwa ekunyamezeleni ukhona umvuzo
May God multiply whatever you have a million times yhoo
I held my tears sarna ngise taxini yhoo😢 but again thank you
What a testimony🙏. God did it. All the challenges you experienced built your character and who you are today. We all reminisce occasionally and crying isn't a sign of weakness. It can help release a few things that you have been carrying.
I can't believe somebody advised you to come here and lie😂😂 people are so weird hey.. thank you Gugu for your honesty and vulnerability always. You're the most relatable content creator and we love you ❤❤
It's not an L it's a Lesson. Love how you Love the kids you don't have yet. 💛. Grown folks vlogs💐
Thank you SO much for this video 🙏 May God continue to bless you abundantly ❤️❤️❤️
Oh sisi when you told your story and cried I just saw the power of God and realize why God is using you for better things to come🙏🏽
Gugu, you have no idea what it does for us whose come up is still in progress when you are this real about your journey.
I wish you more of the goodness you’re experiencing ❤️ love you so much!
When it comes to OOTD, you never disappoint us ke sana, no sbari looks good. Congrats on the house 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hi Gugu, our childhood struggles have made us the strong women that we are today. Our patents really tried and persevered. I love your future plans for this channel and really looking forward to that.
❤️
I am balling my eyes out as I listen to the stories about your struggles. They remind me of my very own and how I always said I will do the most for my mom once I get a well-paying job. I could do some things for her but she passed before I could do all the I ever wanted to do for her. You are doing well Gugu and God is indeed faithful.
Yohh couldn't hold back the tears...🥺. Thank you for being so authentic, vulnerable and just an amazing person. You really encouraging us to stay strong and not give up. Really appreciate your content. ❤️😘
I love how authentic and super real you are. And I want to say, you deserve it sis. You deserve the life you’re living right now. I’m sorry that you come from very humble beginnings. It’s all God’s plan because today you’re able to be relatable and be an inspiration to young individuals. May God continue to bless you.
Aaaaaaaaand! Congratulations on your new home! Pupupu!🎉🥳
yooo Sis Gugu you always touch my heart. You're so real and as a young lady, still in varsity pursuing my Masters I'm genuinely inspired by your story.
If I could like this video a million times, I would💞 Thank you for your authenticity Gugu, I truly believe that's what sets you apart.. Words are sooo powerful, thank you for imparting life through your words.. May God continue to bless you sisi. We love to see you rise!
I loved this SO much. My husband overheard the conversation and was interested AND inspired too. And he never bothers to ask me who am I watching now again.
You are truly so authentic and I love it. ❤❤
Gugu my angel, I love you so much. Thank you for always being yourself and so true to who you are. Here's my advice for the house situation - If you have been approved for the 3 bedroom, please take it gorgeous because you know you can sell it when your family grows for millions and that can help you buy a bigger house unlike renting again for a year and the money basically goes down the drain, with a bond you know it's an investment because property appreciates especially in upper areas. I hope you see this, the decision is ultimately yours. I love your vlogs so much, I even wake my husband up to watch you every Sunday.
I'm already excited about how you'll furnish the house, etc.
Congratulations to you and hubs! Well deserved! ❤❤
Not me crying with you 😢 your vulnerability is so real, you are so relatable Gugu! Thank u for this video ❤❤❤❤I honestly needed to watch this tonight 🙏🏽
Your story always give me strength...when i hustle i hustle with hope sisi nami i will share mine someday❤❤❤❤
I love you so much ke sana. Keep being real and God will bless you with the desires of your heart. SO to your hard working and bubbly mom who paved a way for you and May God bless your dad who held it down and never ran away from his family when things were tough.
Happy Father’s Day to your dear father ❤
You are so real and that’s what draws us in. A similar sharing session on your “I bought a Merc” vlog is what got me subscribed. You are relatable and so inspiring.
It’s so beautiful how life can take a turn for the best. Thank you for showing and reminding us this truth 💚
I been on TH-cam for long while watcing vlogs and content of influencers, but am proud to say your one of the real one's out here... sending you love gugu from Liberia west Africa...
Oh Gugu, those who sow in tears will reap in joy! Big girls do cry and it’s okay. Your vlog touched my heart and I couldn’t stop the tears. Congratulations on your new home, I’m sure you will do a stunning job and take good care of it as you have done with your apartment. ❤ Thank you for being so authentic and genuine
I have never come across to someone who is open and transparent as you. When never I watch your vlogs I am inspired love you Gugu. Congratulations on your new home 🏡💃💐❤️
Thank you Gugu for being Authentic and Genuine in giving us content that one can relate to. Some of your life experiences does hit home especially when you have walked in the same path. I know how it feels to grow up struggling and seeing your parents fight to make ends meet. It is not easy but Through God we turn out to do well in life and still continue to strive for a Better Life.
I usually watch your Videos and hardly comment but, today I thought let me come here and give you your Flowers for being an inspiration to us young Woman who are still struggling with scars of the past.
Love you and keep being Real and Humble. God bless you. ❤
Ohw sisi😢, I literally found my self crying while watching, I can relate so much and I know one day I would also be the one who gives words of encouragement to someone else because I would have gone through it all too. I love your content, I love how raw and open you're to us. Thank you for this ❤. God used you.
The reason I love your channel it’s because you are real,you don’t sell dreams like how most youtubers do.Thank you so much ❤
