Like the snow on a winter's day, so white and seems innocent yet the damages it causes are beyond measure. Zasembo’s grandmother caused a lot of damage to a lot of people’s lives.
Zasembo herself did not get the chance to be raised by her own mother, the chance to be embraced by her mother, the chance to of her mother singing to her a lullaby at night, she did not get to hear her read her a bedtime story, she didn’t get to play dress-up with her and finally.

In the palace the people were still shocked by what the queen mother said, the queen of the land could not stop crying, because traditionally a new born baby or a still born is buried by the elder women of the family only, the mother is not involved, this was so that they don’t put too much stress on her while she just given birth. That is why elder women of the family buried the child and the queen mother knew this very well.Back in the day African women did not go to hospitals to give birth, yes hospitals were there but the elder did not believe in them, they believed that women were made to give birth and could do it without the help of other people or hospitals. They believed that women were more than capable of giving birth in the comfort of their homes being helped by older women that have given birth before.If a child was a still born, the child would be wrapped up and buried under the stack of firewood.
