Mary-Anne Gontsana is 23 years old, and resides in Montevideo, a suburb outside Gugulethu, where she was born and raised. She lives with her mother and an older sister. About a year ago she discovered that she is terrified of big birds, whilst walking alone in a park. Four big birds (knee high) were standing on the grass, not even paying attention to her, yet she froze. She had never panicked like that in her entire life.
Besides discovering her fear of birds, Mary-Anne studied a three year diploma course in journalism at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and is graduating this year. She is also currently working as a community journalist for Siyayinqoba eat It and is striving to make a difference to inform people, especially her peers, about the broader aspects of HIV/AIDS.
