Her Journey As A Councilor
It is known that ward councilors are meant to live in the areas that they serve in order to ensure there is genuine understanding of the needs of the community, but it was hard for her to do so as she was haunted for death because some people believed that women are not meant to lead.As a mother of two children this was not easy for her she had to run from her area and hide in Walmer location because she was scared that the haunters might find her and kill her and her children.She did not give up because she had desires of grooming and building her community.

During her serving time as a councilor she made so many changes in her community for example electricity and water was served, RDP houses were built for those in need. She used to distribute food parcels to less privilege families, created job opportunities for those who were unemployed and during the covid-19 pandemic she gave out food parcels to her community.
