Ebrahim had only one child, Fatiema Richards. A few years after immigrating to South Africa, her daughter brought her to live with her in Brooklyn. Her daughter said: “She didn’t want to come but eventually did because I was here and I wanted to take care of her”. Ebrahim is Shona-speaking and knows only a few English words.
