Her name is Baxolile. My parents lost their first born at birth and when they were pregnant with my big sister they were scared that they would lose her too. She brought peace to their lives. When Baxolile was 5months pregnant with Khumo, she was hit by a car trying to help her friends who were in an accident, God saved her life and that baby girl\u2019s life she is now holding in her arms. Khumo was born 2 days before my husband passed away and she became my reason to live after I lost my husband, she taught me how to love again. She became my reason to keep pushing. #eternalcrush @lile4khumo<\/a><\/p> <p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A post shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/simzngema\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;\" target=\"_blank\"> Simphiwe Ngema<\/a> (@simzngema) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2018-12-03T07:45:19+00:00\">Dec 2, 2018 at 11:45pm PST<\/time><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Career<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, Simz Ngema landed a role in Muvhango, as Thuli Nkosi.
