Orphans of Nkandla (BAFTA-WINNING DOCUMENTARY) | Real Stories
Mbali is eleven, but she takes her responsibilities very seriously. Whether looking after her seven-year-old brother, caring for her desperately ill father, or preparing to go to school, she rarely smiles. Since her mother died of AIDS four months ago, she has been in charge but the strain is showing on her young face.
Mbali’s greatest fear…

It's the same all over the word, wifely woes. You're supposed to put up and shut up but look what happens. Do the men learn anything? No. But the boys who watch their mothers suffer aren't allowed to learn anything and do thing differently
I am grateful for this documentary. My students do not realize how
Fortunate they are
I have cried a long this video. What a terrible these two children have undergone! mbali and her brother. The world can be such cruel
Let the child cry, what grief and hardship she and her brother have suffered. Life is so unfair as i sit here in comfort with a full belly just because i was born into a different life.
Poor babies
Simply heartbreaking.😢😢😢
What beautiful children 😍
My life and what im watching ryt now is completely the same, i thank god im elder now and have a job we depend on
Watching this in South Africa. Ive never wept this much in my life. This is painful 😢😢
Husbands should be served yes, but NO ONE should kneel to a man. Only to God. This idea of how the wife is to kneel to her husband is very bad.
The cocktail is what is helping her to die faster. Aids can be cured through sound waves according to their own prophet Credo Mutwa.
My heart hurt when that little girl said "we have a terrible life."
Europeans purposely teaches those African men that the only way to get rid of AIDS is to continue sleeping with women and fathers, you don't care about taking care of your families. The best thing you can do is to stay with the mother or father and the children. Even if they are dying help with the burial for goodness sake. BBC racist news.
I hate BBC. You guys are so quick to point out how they have the virus, but you don't say that many of those kids were vaccinated with aids. YOu don't ever cover your white population who has aids. BBC is racist coverage. Always has been. Why don't you point out the good. Not the good that Europeans do, but good stories about these people. And while we're at it why don't you stop profiting from stealing their diamonds and other natural resources and do the news about how you're killing kids in DRC.
How do these documentaries help the plight of the people featured? What difference has this documentary made in Mbali’s life? What’s become of her? Where’s she at today?
After these documentaries are made, what becomes of these people? How has this documentary helped Mbali’s plight? What’s become of her? Where’s she today?
Heartbreaking 😢 I would love to have millions and share it with children/families and animals who need it
Dads not that ill that he cant make his own porridge. Lazy man. Always relying on women but treats them bad.
That mother may be sick but she takes advantage of the oldest lass. She could have got her own tablets etc

The lady with kids she should get job
Big deal
Owell😢
Promiscuity in certain societies has led to this. South Africa has the highest rape rate in the entire world. Poor kids.
As terrible as this is, the only way to realy avoid it, is by abstinence, and oddly, even if I am not religios, religions does teach this.
The African culture that treats women like slaves and encourages boys and men to be lazy and promiscuous is what holds back the development and growth of many African countries.
..I'm very impressed with how the kids have themselves all clean and well groomed for school each morning, and their uniforms are so clean and look so nice on them!
These kids are well beyond their years!!!
I watched a similar documentary earlier about the daily struggles in Zimbabwe, that 'clean out' mission with the government demolishing their homes leaving many with nowhere to go, and I mean NOWHERE TO GO, so they were these squatters camps set up all over.. with children being chased out of school because their parents couldn't afford to pay their school fees (less than 20$US per year) and with alot of parents so sick with AIDS they cannot work. Some of the kids I saw were panning gold for money but it was rare to find any, and doing this is illegal. They had no running water or sewage systems and survive off of poisonous beans only made safe to eat when boiled and re-boiled, and berries etc, with occasional maize meal.
One girl watched her mum finally pass away from the AIDS virus and was left to fend for BOTH her and her 3yr old brother.. it was heart breaking when the girl explained that although she misses her mum, it was easier to take care of her and her brother now she was gone!!
All they talk about is the desperate want to go to school so they can have a better life.
I'm happy to see in this one there's this nun that's helping some of them.
I watch these doco's and my heart just breaks!! We as fellow human beings need to step up and help ourselves – by helping each other!!
And lastly, I talk about how it's heart breaking because no other words better describe the emotion you feel when you see this is going on in OUR world. We all belong here and we all deserve to have some level of happiness but above all, general well being.. 😔😌
Africa, the Philippines and Indonesia have so many children who’ve inherited HIV and AIDS from infected parents yet the churches won’t allow birth control…..proof there’s no god. No god would allow babies to suffer in the 21st century!
"When we are hungry, there is no one to tell" Mbale's word to her younger brother that made me to role tears…..
This documentary has humbled me like never before 😭😭😭
It is a painful story and may our God lord be with them
Rosa's Children. Thanks NYPD
Who are these precious babies and what can we/I do to help them in some way this just broke my heart 🥹🙏🏻
I am a proud Catholic and also proud of our Sister who is helping; all those NUNS all over the world who care for the needy.
Why didnt the wife just take that loss.and get fined a "cow"?! Because just because she was scared to put her foot down.and was worried about a "fine" her family cant pay.she is now suffering with aids,yes they got medicine to treat the symptoms.cause your immune system is destroyed,thats what aids does.but in the end people with aids end up dying from something simple as a common cold
I lost alot of friends that were HIV positive. HIV turned into aids. My best friend Diana committed suicide. She was a gorgeous lady. When her hair and then her teeth started to fall out she just couldn't handle it. I loved her and miss her very much
I wonder how is the supply of treatment in the rural areas at this point in time.
Just goes to show no matter the culture, men cannot be trusted. The family suffers. Especially the children. Wish I could bring them all home with me…may God bless them and keep them safe…
💔🙏🏻
