Born VanessaReanetse Makwaba, she hails from Thokoza and was an active member of the Sodality of the Children of Mary and the parish’s youth choir, under the guidance of Fr Bernard Tente Sompane SCJ.
She credits her mother, Susan Makwaba, for who she has become. Sr Fortunata is currently stationed in Mbongolwane in the diocese of Eshowe.
