Abandoned is based on a painful premise of children looking for their parents who left them behind. This type of show needs a very emotional stable and kind person at the helm and Phumeza encapsulates this perfectly. She can relate to the stories and offers support.

This week people were praising her for her work.

This season has been filled with the highest highs and lowest lows. I recall the season premiere having a mother who was dodging Phumeza like a bullet and sending her all across Johannesburg. She still stayed patient and kind throughout it all.

The end of the season has people thanking her for the work she does on the show. This must truly be a reflection of who she is as a person. Twitter is not the kindest social media platform, but all she received was positive comments about how she handles the cases.
