    About this ebook

    Through The Silent Tsunami is a riveting account of a lifelong journey of a recovering addict who battled drug and alcohol abuse most of her life.

    Matumelo Mafoko shares her story of emotional, physical and spiritual turmoil throughout her life. Explore the journey of the ups and downs of a courageous young girl who battled her way to adulthood under constant terrible personal dilemmas. This is the touching retelling about a woman talking about coping with sexual abuse, homosexuality and Christianity, rape, grievous bodily harm and loss.

    Learn how a relentless Matumelo was able to survive as a productive drug addict and an alcoholic as a student, lesbian, gender and political activist who eventually found God. She cried out and sought help on countless admissions at different rehabilitation centres without giving up.

    She lives her life one day at a time under the spiritual guidance of the Higher Power.
