Lloyd Cele to pen a song for Torah Afrika

Johannesburg- Lloyd Cele has revealed that there could be a song in Torah Afrika's honour. 

Lloyd and his wife Janice faced every parent's worst nightmare in December last year, when they lost their baby Torah Afrika, three weeks before her due date.

Torah's death was caused by a true knot in the umbilical cord, which happens when the baby moves in the same direction all the time.

Now almost five months later, even though the pain will never go away, Lloyd and his family are stronger.

"It was an incredibly difficult time for us, and as a family we were left baffled. We constantly questioned ourselves on where we went wrong or what we didn't do," Lloyd told The Juice.

He explained that as a family they've grown and their bond is stronger. "We've put our trust and faith in God. We may not understand the reason for this but we find our strength through Christ," Lloyd added.

And, even though Torah Afrika will never be forgotten - Lloyd and Janice will be trying for another baby, although they havet decided on when just yet.

Lloyd, who has already had his daughter's name tattoed on his arm, told us that there would likely be a song dedicated to Torah in the near future.
