Mapula, a single mother, recently endured every parent’s worst nightmare - the loss of her beloved nine-year-old daughter, Oratilwe, after a desperate search for a matching stem cell donor. Diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia, Rubella, and Fungal Leukaemia, Oratilwe faced an uphill battle that tragically ended too soon.

Despite her grief, Mapula has turned her pain into a mission to raise awareness about the critical need for South Africans to join the stem cell registry and save lives.

Mapula shares her powerful story of love, loss, and determination to inspire action.
