Kule iviki ngithole ithuba lokuxoxisana logogo okuthiwa nguSihle Nxumalo. Ugogo ulendodakazi yakhe okuthiwa nguNtokozo Nxumalo. UNtokozo Nxumalo wabeletha indodana yakhe ethiwa nguSimon Dube kweyinye ikilinika edolobheni lakoBulawayo. Emva kokubeletha, uNtokozo watshiya uSimon elenyanga ezintathu kugogo wakhe esithi uya eGoli ukuze aziphilise njalo asebenzele indodana yakhe. Ekufikeni kwakhe kazange azihluphe ngokutshaya ucingo azise unina ngokubana wahamba njani njalo athumezele indodana yakhe impahla zokusebenzisa. Kusukela kumnyaka ka-2008 kuze kube lamuhla kakaze azwakale ukuba ungaphi njalo ukubana usaphila loba sewafa.
Ugogo uSihle Nxumalo weza eTrinity Project ukuze athole izeluleko zokubana angenza njani ukuze atholele umzukulu wakhe incwadi yokuzalwa. Okokuqala kumele abe lencwadi yokuzalwa (health card) kanye le birth confirmation record azakuyayithatha ekilinika (clinic) lapho esebhadale imali engange $4,60. Kumele njalo aqonde emapholiseni ayeloba i-affidavit etsho ukubana kwenzakalani ukuze acine etshiye umntwana. Kufuneka njalo aphathe incwadi yokuzalwa kukaNtokozo ukuze iveze sobala ubuhlobo phakathi kukaSihle loNtokozo.
USihle kumele ahambe lesithupha sakhe kanye lemali engange-$2 yokuthatha incwadi yokuzalwa. Wakwenza konke ugogo kaSimon waze waphumelela wathola incwadi yokuzalwa .
