Former victim of abuse, Refiloe Segona, 19, will be pursuing her life-long dream of becoming a lawyer soon.

Refiloe is about to study Law at the University of the Western Cape (UWC); something she has dreamt about since she was a little girl.

This is a major achievement for her, considering that years ago she, her mom and sister arrived at the Riet Family Guidance Centre with nothing but the clothes they were wearing.

Read her inspirational story in the next edition of the Herald.
