Media personality Thembisa Nxumalo, populary known as Thembisa Mdoda, and her husband Eric Nxumalo are overjoyed as they await the arrival of their first child together since their marriage.
To celebrate this special moment, friends and colleagues organized a surprise baby shower for Thembisa at a Johannesburg hotel. Amanda Quwe, a veteran actress and the head organizer of the event, expressed her heartfelt message to Thembisa, highlighting the deep care and love she has for the expectant mother.
"A mother and child I was brought to care for and love this year, is you,' she says. "I just realised all I want to do is just that. A pleasure to serve mommy dearest, and by God's grace, we have come this far.' She adds. "Oh, how much I love you. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this journey! My Queen mother!'
In 2021, rumors circulated that Thembisa, who is already a mother of twins, was expecting another child. However, it turned out not to be the case.
Thembisa later shared a glimpse into her journey, emphasizing the unwavering support of her husband, Eric, during challenging times. When she fell ill with COVID-19 and was hospitalized, Eric stood by her side, providing constant care and reassurance. His presence brought her comfort and strength, even in the absence of being able to see their children. Thembisa expressed her deep gratitude for having such an incredible partner in life, describing him as not only the love of her life but also her source of peace. She wished she could whisk him away on a special vacation to provide him with a much-deserved opportunity to relax and find peace of mind.
She wrote. "You are not only the love of my life but my peace too. I wish I could whisk you away on a special vacay so you can breathe easy. Lie on a hammock and just relax. You deserve that peace of mind.'
