Did you know that three thousand people, globally, take their own lives each day? This number is according to a statement released by the South African Government on Suicide Prevention Day this year.
South Africa is still reeling from the suicides of great names in the entertainment industry who lost the battle with their mental health issues. Those greats may be gone forever but Tshego decided to take a different path when faced with the same challenges.
