For several years, I have followed the story of Zephany Nurse, who is a woman who was kidnapped from the hospital in 1997 when she was only two days old. Zephany was kidnapped by a woman posing as a nurse (the fact that her last name was also Nurse was a coincidence) and who had also been faking a pregnancy.
The truth came to light when Zephany (now called Michè Solomon) entered her “matriculation year” (possibly South African version of a fifth year of high school?) and her biological younger sister entered the same school as a freshman. The two bore a striking resemblance. The younger girl went home and immediately told her parents that there was a girl who looked just like her at school. The parents did some leg work, and found their stolen daughter.
A 90 minute podcast interview with Zephany can be found here. The interviewer is also South African, and I just love their accents. There are some accents in this world that I like so much that I automatically think everyone who speaks with it is beautiful or cute. This might be one of them.
