‘I Am Still Healing’ Nomzamo Mbatha Opens Up On Heartbreak

After deactivating her social media account last week when she attracted massive backlash for sensationally claiming that she does not know what heartbreak is, former Isibaya star actress Nomzamo Mbatha has admitted that she is heartbroken. 

However, her heart-ache is not from her short-lived alleged romance with Maps Maponyane as many would have suspected, it is from a much more traumatic experience in her past.

The television star recently took to social media and opened up on a traumatic memory tucked away in the past, her sister’s tragic death by suicide. An emotional Nomzamo penned a moving message on her official Instagram account of how she was scarred for life by the tragic incident. In the post which was accompanied by a photograph of herself holding a lit candle, Nomzamo said:

‘I have experienced many tragedies in my life. But the one that sucker-punched me was finding my baby sister in our family garden after she had taken her own life… it is a heartbreak that I will never fully recover from but will always be in the process of healing from. I felt guilt and shame.’

‘Was I not good enough for her to live for, was I a good sister, what signs did I miss… why did I get on that flight the night before because if I was home the next morning she wouldn’t have gotten the chance to execute her plan? I then turned my fear and heartbreak into love,’ opened up Nomzamo.

The actress lost her sister, Carla, in December 2014 after she took her own life. She is reported to have been suffering from depression at the time of her death,

Nomzamo’s emotional message follows after her heartbreak video went viral. In the video, Nomzamo failed to give a sufficient answer to a question which was posed by one of her fans during an Instagram live video. 

After being asked how to deal with heartbreak, she erupted into hysterical laughter and revealed that she did not know what heartbreak is.
