Award-winning author of ‘Mission of Malice’. A whistleblower and storyteller working to make the world safe for children.
I did something today I haven’t done in absolute ages: checked out reviews of my memoir ‘Mission of Malice: My exodus from #KwaSizabantu’ on Amazon, Goodreads and Audible. I was pleasantly surprised (By tomorrow there will likely be loads more 1* reviews as the cult monitors everything I say 🤷🏻♀️)

This is a great review by @kitdewaal.bsky.social of the best book I’ve read in ages. Well, it was read to me by the author on Audible but I’m definitely getting a hard copy too. I’m telling everyone I know to read it. It’s magnificent! www.theguardian.com/books/2023/o...

I had no idea we were actually taking on the South African government when we exposed the abuse perpetrated on the children at this “mission”. In January we will be in the JHB High Court challenging a government report.

Today, the man who ruined hundreds of childhoods was buried with great pomp and ceremony. Past & current members of South Africa’s cabinet, police, mayors, etc attended. “Fuck Erika,” a fellow survivor messaged me. “The crimes will be buried forever.” #KwaSizabantu #igotout #cult bit.ly/48DtiMx

(Ooof)
That’s one chapter of my memoir about growing up and escaping from #KwaSizabantu - my not-so-private hell, and my subsequent efforts to try stop them from destroying the spirits of the children in their care, as they believe they must do by age 3 www.penguinrandomhouse.co.za/book/mission... #igotout

Watching “The Darkness within La Luz del Mundo” on Netflix and yikes. They could be talking about #KwaSizabantu, except we didn’t call Erlo Stegen the apostle. And the rapists I know of wasn’t its leader, though in leadership. It reminded me of my baptism, though…

I will go to my grave still incandescent with rage for the way #KwaSizabantu treated the children in their care. Wondering why? And why I won’t be silenced? Here are just 3 pages from #MissionOfMalice that will give you a glimpse into the hell my Zulu friends experienced there #igotout #cult #memoir
