Where their story begins.. (continue)

Todd’s family then settled in Soweto (an acronym for SOuth WEstern TOwnship) on the outskirts of Johannesburg, or Egoli (City of Gold). The housing was in the form of box-like huts with no electricity or running water. There was limited access in and out of the township, and barbed wire surrounded the area with just about no transport available to the city of Johannesburg.

Their first meeting..

When Todd attended the Vuka Îbambe Higher Primary School in Soweto, she met Thembi Nyandeni, who had grown up in the township of Soweto.

“We just clicked! She knew that I was an outsider coming from another town. Later I moved to another school, losing contact with Thembi.”

Although the two friends had lost physical contact with each other, their lives ran parallel, both choosing a career in the entertainment world as singers and dancers.
