Rofhiwa Khweleleni Caroline (32) is from Ngudza ha Ramungondo, Venda, Limpopo Province in South Africa and attended school at Ramungondo Secondary School. Khathu082, as popularly known, will be hosting massive events to fight against GBV and encourage all victims to speak up.

“I faced lots of challenges in my life, I survived a marriage abuse, decided to create a tik tok account and called myself Khathu082. The main aim was to tell my story so I can heal and assist other victims to come out. I was in pain and started to help the poor by donating food and sanitary pads. I am now hosting events to help upcoming artist and engage with community”, she said.

The three upcoming events, Women Shutdown (21 November – Thavhani Mall), Miss Khathu (13 December – Wesley Church, next to Thavhani Mall) and 2k Chillers (22 November) are all aimed at making difference to the community. “Women Shutdown is about all people who were raped, abused and those who lost their lives due to GBV. Miss Khathu is aimed at exposing the beauty of young girls in our community and finding someone who will work with me to uplift our community. I also host 2k Chillers where I engage with young kids and talk about danger of taking drugs and alcohol. Kids needs to be safe during December holidays to avoid lot of things such as rape or human trafficking” added Khathu.

The main challenge of hosting community uplifting events is money or rather say budget. Sponsors are needed to pay artists while finding venues for gigs remain stress. Khathu said the community will benefit from the events and be willing to fight against GBV and poverty.

“I just want to thank all people who keep supporting me, more especially sponsors, Mpho Mutsharini, Chinaki Ramunyisi, Asa Tee and Ompfuna Catering. The love I get from people around me is really amazing”, she concluded.
