Theres no need for her to speak the truth she doesn't own anyone an explanation, she made mistakes just like any of us and she paid for it.

To be jailed in a foreign land, it's so traumatic. She was young and got caught up in a bad situation. Thank you Lord she is alive and back. Others get killed.

This was one of the biggest traumatic stories that touched my heart. The stories are so many about this case and the mere fact that Babsie had to go all that trauma was extremely depressing. I'm glad she's back home safely because Thailand 🇨🇷 laws are extremely severe, in general Asian laws are extremely severe. I remember another South African 🇿🇦 woman who was executed in China 🇨🇳 for the same reason.

Listen, if I smuggled drugs this 1 and only time and got caught, I'm snitching on everyone! It's only professionals who know the in's and out's of the game and the consequences of snitching, who actually don't risk snitch but a newbie and a terrified one at that?? The math aint mathing! I don't buy it and I was very angry at what she did as she had not only brought shame upon SA to the world but to us women as well, especially Xhosa women. I wanted to whip her with a shambok! But years later after only watching this now, i can safely say i wish her well and hope she inspires and turns her story (as much as it's lies) to a success.

She knew what she was doing before got arrested. What is stopping her for not naming those behind her drug trouble? These people are wicked because if she manage to transport the drug successfully people around her would likely be call lazy and all sort of name while her source of wealth will be use as example without knowing she cheat her way to become rich woman. Anyway I wish her good luck but she should do the needful by naming those sent her to traffic to from Brazil/Thailand. My take
