“The most hurtful, false things have been said about me for over 18 years. It’s been so bad that it’s taken away from my profession of being an actress and musician.”

“Hate me all you want but Khanukani is a child. The fact that the first thought that comes to all your minds is that a child could be pregnant shows how sick of a society we have all become.”

“No wonder rape, child abduction and abuse has become a norm and why stats are so high. Our children are in danger, the energies we adults put out are vile and disgusting. We show no faith in them and don’t respect children.”

“No wonder kids are committing suicide. This is a form of cyber bullying and you are all bullying a child!!! My child!” wrote Mbau.
