Nomzamo Opens Up About Her Grandmother Dying In Her Arms! The actress has always been open about her relationship with her late grandmother who named her Nomzamo.

Taking to social media recently, Nomzamo shared some of the lessons her grandmother taught her and the pain of losing her in her arms. “My grandmother taught me about being tough. Relying on a single pair of jeans and shoes. That it was never about the clothes on my back. But what I could offer the world. My mind. My heart. My service. That surely my reward will come one day,” she shared.

Nomzamo shared how she wishes she could wash her father and grandmother’s feet one more time to show gratitude for everything they did fore her. The actress however finds solace in having been there for her granny in her last moments.

“No honour will come close to that which the God and my ancestors granted me. The honour of closing my grandmother’s eyes and kissing her goodbye after she took her last breath. Just me and her. As it always had been my whole life,” Nomzamo shared.

Read her thread below.

To my grandmother and father

I wish I could wash both your feet one more time to show my gratitude for the miracle you performed everyday of my life putting me through school and waking up to help me chase my dream of getting an education.

Real heroes don’t wear capes. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/wkexHv8DF2

I remember how my school fees was R800 in my matric year and having to go to the principal’s office to beg for my report so I could send it out to all the places I was applying for Burseries from.
Worked my ass off to be the smartest in my grade so I could avoid being suspended

I do not take for granted how much of a miracle my life is.

It would be vanity and ego to think that there was no constant hand of God over it. Nestled under His wing. Knowing that I was never alone. No matter the circumstances. pic.twitter.com/ysMNyLOy9W

Worldly Honours and titles may come,

But.

No honour will come close to that which the God and my ancestors granted me. The honour of closing my grandmother’s eyes and kissing her goodbye after she took her last breath. Just me and her. As it always had been my whole life. 🕊

Pray that those who are assisting you in your climb;-
Your grandparents, mother, father, sibling, aunt, uncle, teacher, a stranger… even the naysayers…

My hope is that they live to see the day that you reach your summit. That you get to look them in the eye.
And Thank them.
