DR REBECCA MALOPE, speaking exclusively to Daily Sun, said she grew up in poverty and hunger with an abusive father.
“We were so poor we ate rats to fight hunger,” said the gospel star.
“My father beat my mum while she was pregnant with me.”
As a result, Rebecca said, she was born prematurely. She said the truth about her childhood growing up in KaNyamazane, outside Mbombela in Mpumalanga, will be outlined in a new untitled book she’s writing.
There will also be a play Angingedwa to go with the book. Angingedwa is Zulu for “I’m not alone.
”What people will read in the book will tear their hearts into pieces, and it will all be the truth.
“This is my book. It will reflect my story from childhood to the present.”
She said the book will motivate people who have problems.
“A lot happened during my upbringing. The book will help people to heal from their past,” she said. “The musical will be a visual representation of the book itself,” she said.
Dr Malope said the book will tell the story of her family while growing up, and she expected people to be shocked.
“But mostly I want them to be motivated after learning about details of my childhood,” she said.
Her book is almost done and only a few bits still have to be put together. She said she’s not neglecting her music while she’s working on the book and a play.
The legendary singer will continue releasing singles on social media platforms.
She said CDs are slowly fading away because of technology, and that’s why she’ll release music on social media platforms.
She’ll continue doing live performances.
“I love gospel, I love worshipping, and I love telling good news about God. I’m a pastor through music. God has chosen me to be on stage and a minister through music.”
