So, when they were teenagers, they decided to confront him after his release. The two sisters went to his house to knock at the door, but no one answered. In fact, the last time they saw their father was on his death bed when he survived an attempted murder. He was later murdered.
Despite growing up without both parents, their grandmother held them to a high standard. Teaching them not to use their father’s absence as an excuse but to work hard in life. Which they did and have succeeded very much in that regard.

In fact, at one point, it was reported that Innocent Sadiki was fired from Skeem Saam for allegedly bringing her twin sister to work. While that was a plausible rumour, Innocent refuted the rumours as pure lies. As you can all see, she’s still acting on Skeem Saam in 2024.
4. How did Innocent Sadiki overcome her childhood trauma?
Growing up without their mother, the twins have suffered from developmental trauma in their adult lives. In a video shot by the twins on their YouTube channels, they revealed how growing up without their mother affected them. Furthermore, the fact that their mother died while they were 4 and she herself was only 26 made things worse.
So, as a result, they felt like they would either die when their kids were 4 years old or. Or that they wouldn’t live past 26 years old. However, after passing those ages, they managed to understand that it was a form of trauma from their childhood. They’ve since overcome this trauma; however, it goes to show the effects of growing up without parents. Especially in such circumstances as theirs.

9. Why was her church with her husband in Moekloof closed?
In 2024, Innocent Sadiki and her husband revealed that their branch church in Moekloof would be closing. They did an entire hour-long video on what led to the branch being closed. And to summarize, they say dishonesty on the land or property owners was the reason.
They were leased the property by the owners, who were church owners themselves. In fact, the owners gave them a few months of free rent to establish themselves and free equipment. Furthermore, they were initially told that the owners were leaving the ministry and would never open a church.
And if they did, it wouldn’t be in Moekloof, but that changed, starting with the rent being required sooner than required. It kept on spiraling down, promise after promise being broken, until the owners simply said, We want our church back, but we can work together. Sadiki and her husband decided to leave, wondering what more would come.
