Author cultivates confidence in women

Botha, who published the book I have life, originates from South Africa. She uses her 1994 rape experience to help victims in similar ordeals or rather, any challenging situation that force them to make informed decisions.

On Saturday she gathered women in the mining town for a high tea seminar in a bid to share her inspirational story, experience and the power of making a good choice. She said two men assaulted and threatened to kill her, leaving her seriously injured and unconscious.
