Actress Simphiwe Ngema is celebrating a special milestone as she turns 36 — and she’s doing it with a grateful heart and love all around her.
Marking the occasion on social media, Simphiwe shared a heartfelt birthday message with her followers. “Grateful to still be here and to still have so much love all around me. P.S: I’m grateful my aunt is alive to see this day,” she wrote. Her words reflected not just celebration, but deep appreciation for life and family.
Fellow celebrities and fans quickly flooded her with birthday wishes. Actress Thembi Seete sent a warm message, saying, “Happy birthday beautiful Sim Sim.” Boity Thulo’s mother, Modiehi Thulo known for her kind spirit, also celebrated Simphiwe, writing, “Happy Blessed Birthday! May your day be nothing short of glorious and amazing love (you already and have always had that) but still, I wish you more! May your God bless you more and more. Much love.”
Her partner, model Tino Chinyani, shared an emotional tribute in the form of a collage video filled with memories of their life together — from couple moments to their time as parents. He expressed his love with powerful words:
“I know God loves me because He gave me you. I’m reminded today that it is the journey not the destination that brings true joy & to share this journey with you truly is the most beautiful blessing I thank the Lord for daily.
You made me a father & gave me the gift of family & I can never thank you enough for the light you shine in my life & the lives of those around you. Thank you for being a truly heaven sent mother to our boys, your love shines in their eyes every time they smile. So today we celebrate you my Queen & all that you are. May the Lord’s grace continually shine through your life. I love you, forever & always.”
Simphiwe responded with love, replying, “Thank you for loving me. I love you always and forever.”
This birthday also comes during a joyful time in her life. Simphiwe and Tino recently welcomed their second child, a baby boy, born on November 22, 2024. They are already parents to their first son, Tiyani, who is now five years old. Simphiwe shared beautiful photos from the hospital, surrounded by Tino and both of their children — a true picture of love and family.
