Simphiwe “Simz” Ngema is a happy woman again. She announced on Wednesday that she is pregnant with Tino Chinyani’s baby.
The actress lost her husband Dumi Masilela in a car hijacking incident that went wrong in 2017. Simz said God had wiped away her tears and gave her “joy in abundance” as she posted a picture on Instagram.
Simphiwe announced for the first time that she is dating Tino Chinyani and she thanked him for teaching her love.
“Indeed there is a God in heaven. He wiped away my tears and gave me joy in abundance. You’ve brought hope and purpose to my life. Tino, I will forever be grateful to you for this beautiful gift and for teaching me how to love again. I love you both with all my heart,” she on her Instagram account.
Meanwhile Tino shared the same photos and he said he is praying for the same thing.
“Lord knows how long I prayed on this moment and to be answered in the most beautiful way possible. I thank the Lord up above that you blessed me with your presence and showed me who I could truly be, and for that I’ll forever be grateful.”
Tino promised to always love Simphiwe and the baby.
“For this gift you have given me, I promise I will always love, care and be there for you and our seed. May our seed grow to be a leader of change, a leader of hope and serve the Lord in all their ways. My legacy continued, my mini me,” he added.
Friends and fans shared their congratulations and best wishes.
Actress Gail Mabalane wrote: “Oh my goodness! I’m so happy for you, Simz! Congratulations. God restores!”
“Finally! Congratulations, twin. You are absolutely going to be an amazing mom!” Ntando Duma added.
Simz was left in a diffficult position three years ago when her husband Dumi soon after getting married.
She battled to pick up the pieces and in October last year said that she’d finally felt strong enough to let go and find love again.

“It has been a difficult journey and I feel it is time to let go, holding on is what hurts more. Losing Dumi two months after our wedding was worse than my worst nightmare and after he passed away, I was afraid that people would forget him. So I did everything I could to keep his memory alive.
“But, at some point, I realised that holding on hurts so much more. It felt like I had a memorial service every time I did something to keep his memory alive and I went through all the emotions all over again,” she said in a statement.
