Abigail Mashifane

Obesity is a condition where a person has accumulated so much body fat that it might have a negative effect on thir health. 

Today on the show we meet a woman who has struggled with weight for most of her live. Her name is Abigail Mashifane, and like many woman in South Africa, she grew up eating all the wrong foods and all the wrong information about what it means to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle. We went to meet her in her home in Soweto, the neighbourhood she hasn’t left in her whole life.
