Because of her advanced age, Johan Mazibuko is unable to recall all of her past experiences. She recalled being married to an older man whose wife had passed away, as she explained to a local outlet. He went by the moniker Stawana Mazibuko. He was a self-reliant individual. He owned cows and a horse-drawn waggon. I would prepare butter to sell and milk the animals. I was treated really nicely by that man, and he helped me forget about everything else. I never lacked anything.
