Today marks Thobeka Majozi’s birthday, and she opened up about the challenges and triumphs she has faced over the past few years, including personal struggles with her son’s health and betrayal in her relationships.
“Who would have thought I’d be here? Not in pieces but in peace,” she said. “The tears that were once in silence are now from laughing out loud. I’m truly in awe of the goodness of God. How am I so deserving of this unconditional love? His protection and grace? Even when I was unfaithful to Him, He remained faithful to me.”
She continued, “I’ve always heard God is found in certain locations. I didn’t know I’d find Him at my lowest and most broken.”
Thobeka revealed that at just eight months old, her son was diagnosed with cancer. “An entirely different world opened up for us. I always valued protection and privacy. Trying to maintain ‘the world’ and my world was a marathon in itself,” she recalled, adding that she lived in oncology for two years with her son as he underwent chemotherapy and life-threatening surgeries.
Alongside this harrowing experience with her son’s health, Thobeka also faced personal betrayal. She shared how infidelity added another layer of emotional turmoil during an already difficult period.
“The woman knew me and my son’s condition. She made no mistake about flaunting their relationship. After finding out, he ended it with her and tried to make amends with me. I couldn’t trust someone who could hurt me at my lowest or allow another woman to disrespect me. Considering everything we had been through, it was more about the timing than the infidelity. He later married her.”
“In between home discharges and a new project I started, I had to stop my life, put aside my own emotions, and show up for my baby. At the time, his health was more important than my heart. One thing we would do is enjoy the world. Faith and family were the remedies to everything. Both families understood the mandate: living and loving are what we stand on.”
She added how God pulled through for her.
“He had me exactly where He needed me. I gave my life to Jesus. I entered the era of isolation. He placed me in His secret place. He worked on my character, renewed my mind, and restored my heart. The work hasn’t stopped. I die to self daily. He continues to mould me as the perfect potter He is. I’m fully in my Jesus girl era, walking in love and forgiveness. Most days are better than others. Yet peace remains. I’m yet to see what God has for me.”
Thobeka joyfully shared that her son is now cancer-free, marking the end of a long and difficult chapter in her life.
