From Dire Poverty To Renowned Gospel Singer: Refilwe Sibanda's Journey

Join us in this inspiring episode of GaonaLive Conversations as we delve into the remarkable life story of Refilwe (Fifi) Sibanda, who transformed her challenging beginnings into a triumphant career in gospel music. Born into a family struggling to provide, Refilwe was sent to an organization called SOS, which provides care for children in need. However, her early years were marked by hardship, including abuse at the hands of one of the caregivers.
The turning point in her life came with the arrival of Mr. Kitso, a new caregiver whose nurturing approach encouraged Refilwe to pursue her dreams and aspirations. With newfound determination, Refilwe left Botswana for Germany and later moved to the UK, where she flourished as a renowned gospel singer.
In this episode, Refilwe not only shares the trials and triumphs of her journey but also introduces her latest song, "Mororiseng," featuring Sebastian Magacha. Her story is a testament to resilience, the power of supportive relationships, and the pursuit of one’s dreams against all odds.

    Sharing my sympathy, my boyfriend tells me of his background it's very similar to fifi's story and everytime he shares I can tell his broken even with all he has accomplished.

    Refilwe… it was hard watching this. Anyone who knew you after primary school would’ve never imagined with all that confidence that you could be abused. So sorry. And true, God worked it all for good. Look at God! He always has a plan! ❤
