Kleinboy Sibanyoni
“I had just finished a nightshift. When I reached home, there was no electricity due to load-shedding (when electricity is intentionally turned off in certain areas for a period of time to prevent the entire power grid from failing), so I lit a candle. I accidentally dozed off from fatigue before putting out the candle. When I woke up, the whole room was on fire:
I suffered 3rd degree burns. My hands are the most affected, but I can still manage. It has taken eleven surgeries to make progress.
My name is Kleinboy Sibanyoni. I am 28 years old. I was 25 years when the incident occurred. I have two daughters. I love reading. I rap. I am a boilermaker (plater) artisan by qualification. I AM A BURN SURVIVOR.”
