Now back in her hometown of QwaQwa in the Free State, she is struggling with depression and alcoholism.
“I have been home for years now. The help I need is to get a job. I also fell into depression and became an alcoholic, so I need help there as well. I need to get rehabilitated and get back to work,” Tladi said.
