Married life was hard for her, she says, so hard that in 2015 she wanted to end it all and attempted to take her own life. While her children were sleeping, Nosiviwe prayed for forgiveness for what she was about to do. “Then I closed my eyes and swallowed over 30 pills. I tried to fall asleep but I couldn’t. I spent the whole night tossing and turning until I decided to drive myself to the hospital. God gave me a second chance,” Nosiviwe said speaking to Drum.
She added on how she found peace and redemption in music.
“I found solace in music. It was my place of escape and I felt connected to God through song. Every song I wrote on the album is about me, my struggles, my happy times and being grateful.”
