Simz Ngema on healing after losing Dumi

The actress always takes the time to reflect on her healing right after the passing of her husband, Dumi Masilela.

The rising star sadly lost his life in a hijacking when he was shot dead in 2017 in Tembisa.

In an interview on Life Lately with Nozipho, the now-mother of two said this about Dumi:

“I feel like God sends people to me because, like I said, I'm always in the house, I'm always minding my own business. I'm not a girl who's going to be out there looking for something, but God, in some way, kind of brought him into my life. I wasn't looking for a guy who was like my dad. He just sent somebody who was so similar to my dad,” she explained.
