The life coach and Thanatologist, Ntombomzi Nompumelelo “Tobo” Thabede born Gwiliza, took two years to finish her book, “The Right to Live a Full Life. The book can change your life completely and make you attain happiness in life. A truly spellbinding biography was recently published by KwaziThina Publishers and officially released.
Tobo as she affectionately known lives in Mthatha having been born and raised in Mbodleni, KwaBhaca (formerly known as Mount Frere), until 1974, when her parents came to open their funeral business, Gwiliza’s Funeral Parlors. The passion of writing started at her tiny age whilst she was still attending Roman Catholic schools in the former Transkei. What led her to write this book? “To honour my mother, Nomfanelo Gwiliza (87), born Gwiji, whom I affectionately call her clan name, Jwarha. She was admitted in hospital at the time of writing this book, fighting for her life,” she said.
Thabede described the book as a biography that celebrates the life of a remarkable woman, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother who has built a legacy as a business woman and continues to inspire them and many others in living with love and resilience. She said the book will help people understand the power of living a humble life, the peaceful life one experiences from loving unconditionally with a forgiving heart and how we build a lasting legacy with everything we do on a daily basis.
Tobo is expected the readers to be inspired to live their own lives to the fullest, learn to forgive and build lasting legacies. She is not new in the field of writing as she published the book “Take Off and Fly in Your Business” in 2014, “It is on the ABC’s of starting and running a business. I am now busy with my father’s biography titled “Tell No Lies” Based on the way he used to translate his initials TNL, which stand for Theodore Nkumbulo Luxolo Gwiliza,” she concluded.
