Five years after the CRL Commission began hearing testimony from victims of abuse at the KwaSizabantu Mission, and two years after legal proceedings began over the final report on the investigations, there has now been a spectacular turn of events in the KSB affair. Members of the CRL and representatives of the KSB victims agreed […]
The CRL Commission wants to talk, the victims of KSB rather not.

Our journey from a cult to freedom This is a love story and a life story. It is our journey from the captivity and deception of a cult to the freedom of true Christianity. It begins in Kwazulu/Natal in the late 1970s and ends on the cool west coast of South Africa. I have tried […]
