She shares insights about her upbringing, indicating that both her parents were employed in Durban; her mother was a live-in domestic worker, while her father worked at Singer Sewing Machine. As her parents were often away, she was raised by her paternal grandparents. She lovingly refers to her grandmother, MaMasinga-Msomi, as “Gogo umaQadi,” a title that highlights her roots from emaQadini. Msomi reflects on her upbringing, mentioning that her great-grandmother, MaKhuluse, commonly referred to as \"Sayisa,\" was alive during her childhood, despite her old age. She also shares that her grandfather was Damasiko Msomi. Msomi recounts that according to family lore, the majority of the Msomi grandfathers were devout Christians who enjoyed reading the Bible, but her grandfather Damasiko was an exception; he was not a Christian and held the position of headman (Induna) for King Ndodembi, the son of Mandlakayise.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMsomi shares insights about a shop owner of Indian heritage named Sulamathe, whose shop was located in Mtshebheni. She points out that he became a beloved figure in the Inanda community due to his exceptional kindness. Each time they were tasked with buying goods from his shop, he would generously offer brown sugar and sweets to the children, specifically mentioning a sweet called Zulu mojo that carried positive messages. Msomi expresses her admiration for the shopkeeper, noting that during times of bereavement in families, relatives would be sent to acquire materials necessary for coffin construction. These materials included planks, common nails, a hammer, and black cloth. She emphasizes that the shopkeeper would provide these items at no cost, often including maize meal and sugar, allowing families to settle the payment later. Additionally, she recalls that during her school years, when stationary lists were issued, this shopkeeper would always ensure they had what they needed, with her parents later settling the bill upon their return from Durban.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMsomi describes the beginning of her educational path at Thwelenye Lower-Primary School, where she was nurtured by teachers such as Mrs. Ngidi and Mr. Phewa, the principal. She recalls how they would conceal her in cupboards whenever inspectors came, as she was too young for school. Subsequently, she moved to uMzinyathi Senior Primary School, where she was mentored by teachers including Phewa, Mthiyane, and Dingane Magwaza, the principal. Upon completing her primary education, she joined Mqhawe High School, highlighting that she was one of the inaugural students there, progressing through Standard 7, Form 1, and Form 3. She mentions that when it was time to advance to Grade 10, financial difficulties hindered her from continuing her studies, which led her to stay at home. Owing to financial constraints, Msomi supported her grandmother with household tasks in Durban North. After a year, she completed her matriculation at Gugulabasha High School in Ntuzuma. Subsequently, she registered for the Auxiliary Nursing Course at the Church of Scotland in Tugela Ferry.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eShe further recounts that after the cholera outbreak ended, she was reassigned to section C, where she witnessed an HIV outbreak.

Although she was quite small, her intelligence compelled the teachers to admit her; however, they would often conceal her during inspections due to her ineligibility based on age. She further explains that in her early years, school uniforms were non-existent. Her grandmother crafted a uniform from empty 50 kg bags of nkosi mealie meal, and there was no pressure regarding uniforms since many children wore similar attire. She notes that meals were provided at her school, with Mrs. MaNgidi-Msomi serving as the cook. Reflecting on her upbringing, she mentions that deaths were infrequent, with a grandmother passing away only to be followed by another from a different valley after a considerable time. She points out that children were not permitted to attend funerals as is customary today.

Additionally, she notes that the Department of Social Development assumed control of her initiative from the Department of Health, as DSD provides grants that the latter does not. She emphasizes the challenges faced in Bhambayi, where political violence and deaths from HIV and violence created significant instability, with children frequently bearing the brunt of these issues.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218#t=2572.0,5004.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218/index/88723/annotation/20","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"emaSomini","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218#t=5005.0,6600.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218/index/88723/annotation/21","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Msomi describes her family's reputation for exceptional hospitality. She illustrates this with a story about an elderly man who arrived at their home in a very dirty condition. Her grandfather immediately asked for water to be prepared for him, offered him his own clothes, and invited him to stay the night. She mentions that such acts of kindness were frequent. Furthermore, she recalls instances when elderly women would visit, receiving tea and sugar on a tray, as it was believed that tea could help suppress hunger. After finishing their tea, they would often take the remaining sugar with them. Msomi also clarifies that her grandmother did not receive regular monthly payments; instead, there was a month in between payments, meaning if they were compensated in January, they would not receive anything in February. She notes that a large teapot was always kept by the fire for guests. Although her family was not affluent, they consistently had sugar, with her grandmother buying 25 kg of brown sugar and 50 kg of maize meal. She shares that their household often had mageu, which was thought to be more sustaining, and milk was always available because they had cattles.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218#t=5005.0,6600.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218/index/88723/annotation/22","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Health-conscious senior","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218#t=6601.0,7539.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/142225/file/263218/index/88723/annotation/23","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Msomi indicates that she is fortunate to be free from diabetes and high blood pressure at her age, and she does not take any chronic medications.
