Innocent and Millicent on the trauma of their parents’ deathsInnocent Sadiki and Millicent Mashile have opened up about the emotional effect the deaths of their parents had on them.

The media personalities went on to speak on how their mother was just 26 years old. They were not certain about the cause of her death as they had been told she got electrocuted.

“It caused a lot of trauma for me. The first couple of years as a child, I don’t remember them at all. The only memories I have are of me in my 20s. Now that we are older, we have so many questions that are unanswered,” Millicent said.

“I remember having so much fear at 25. I was like, I’m going to die at 26. In my head, that’s when life ends. The same thing with my children, when my children turned four. I was like, they are not going to have a mother.”

Innocent added that she struggled to recall her past as a result of the emotional trauma her parents’ deaths caused.

“It’s the memory loss for me as well. I didn’t realise that until I was married, until I had children. I know my mom from a picture; I don’t know her as a person. I have zero memories of my mom.”
