Life can change in a moment
A true story of a nurse who was gang-raped inside the health care facility by two men in a balaclava.
Yours is a tough journey @~My Nomana that only requires the brave and Heavens backup support. I can only imagine what you went through.
Whatever the devil meant for evil, God has turned it around. I am glad that God has restored you in order to help many people who have gone, or are going through the same challenges. Congratulations on your nomination and the many awards, the book sales and the open opportunities that has made you a blessing to the community and the world at large👏🥳💕. Many people could be admiring what you are today, but they don’t have an idea of the price you have had to pay. May the name of the Lord continue to be glorified in your life. Thanks for sharing your story, you are a great inspiration.🙏
Thank you so much @Beatrice Saina Ongeri
Nomana…what a powerful and touching story!! I could almost feel your pain, disillusionment and confusion at everything that happened to you. But thanks be to God who causes us to triumph in His name!! Thank God you are able to tell your story and help others going through similar challenges.. may He continue to use you to bring healing and restoration to the world. Be blessed
Thanks @Doris…Indeed triump over pain of this nature is by God’s mercy.
Your story is indeed life changing. A lot of people can resonate with it. Keep on sharing it, as it has and continues to heal you, many will be healed through it as well.
Congratulations Ma, keep the faith.
Thank you Mhlengi
When reading your book I realised that God chooses His people to go through a storm as He has promised to carry them through. What you went through made me realise that whatever is happening to us it’s for a purpose, we can fill the pain because we are humans but at the end of the day God will fulfill His promise and walk with you through the valley of life. The reason you went through that God wanted you to heal others by saying, “I’ve been through the worst.” You are one of the phenomenal women of our time. God has your back. Don’t ever forget that.
Thank you Bhelekazi
#LifeCanChangeInAMoment, indeed life can change in a blink of an eye, however, this inspirational book (true life story not a fiction) has taught us that there is always a silver lining after every storm. Aim to survive, aim to heal, aim to walk differently abled for it is never over until God says so. Good job sis Nomana, keep trusting in God.
Thank you Khanyo. I’m humbled. I give glory to God..
I’ve read Nomana’s book titled “Life Can Change in a Moment”, it was such an inspiration. I love how she tells us about her healing processs and how she managed to pick herself up, and learnt how to do life again. More than anything, she’s the living proof that as the human species we can recover from anything.
Amen Nelly

I don’t have distinguished chosen words to express how great is our God, that out of his own way of doing things he chose this way of allowing a bad, terrible thing to be the way of preaching the gospel for souls to be comforted in this manner. I’ve seen a greatest weapon, vibrant, superb, giant, superhero phenomenal woman.
LIFE CAN CHANGE IN A MOMENT is such an inspirational story, captivating as it is sad. It is a story of triumph over adversity for a rural girl who made something of herself despite her humble background. Above all, it gives strength and hope to the victims of GBV, that opening up about their trauma leads to healing. Thank miss Ntshakaza for this book.
Thank you Khiwa

Thank you and
Keep walking woman of strength.
God is Able.
Indeed Phesh God is able to change any situation for better.
Gender Based Violence and Femicide is a pandemic faced by the society. It affects women regardless of age. More intervention strategies are needed including encouragement of rape survivors to speak out about their experiences inorder to start the journey of healing.
Life can change in a moment is a book which leaves you with mixed emotions whereby it contains great and painful memories. It is a good book for rape survivors more especially teenagers who have suicidal thoughts after having flashbacks.Also it is an encouraging to the hopeless ones who are from deep rural areas and poor backgrounds.
Your journey…,has been a great reflection to the community…as you have changed so many lives.The best I can say “Siyambulela uThixo ngawe”. Lastly:” perfection is not attainable ,but if we chase the perfection we can catch excellence “(Vince Lombardi). I’m proud of you,God bless you more
I am so excited to see young poeple becoming published authors. Well done Ella
I couldn’t stop reading it and I lost a night of sleep, the Book was so 👌
Thank you to ACABA Team for the nomination of my book. I am glad to share the insights in the book with the entire continent, hoping to inspire a lot of people especially the rape survivors and their secondary victims. I am looking forward to set my foot in Uganda at the ACABA Awards Ceremony in November 2024.
Thank you.
Life can change in a moment by Nomana Ntshakaza is a book everyone can reflect on . As we are living on earth we do not know what tomorrow holds for us. But the Authour demonstrates that you can overcome any tribulation and be the pillar for others who are still going through challenges. The book is also reflecting the depth of Gender Based Violence in our society, which needs to addressed by communities and Authorities even by ammending legislation that are not in favor of the victims.
I applaud the Author. May she continue to be the voice of voiceless.
Life can change in a moment is very motivational encouraging to see life in a different way no matter what you went through. I trust God this book has breath of the Spirit of God..It shall go all around the world motivating and changing lives
A book from a down to earth rural woman who has seen and experienced it all.Deep rooted faith in God Almighty…she gave new meaning to the Lord’s Prayer which she silently repeated when it was the only thing she could think of when she was being ripped off by the jaws of the devil himself.Life indeed changed in a moment but she became a very risilient survivor who believed that amidst all..Wounds can be healed!A good read for anyone who believes that we serve an Omnipresent God.
Amen mama Ndamase. I give glory to the Almighty God who is able to change any situation.
The book is very motivating
Thank you Sboshy
The book is perfect and wish she can write more books of this nature so that we can be enabled
