Themba Broly may have missed out on winning Big Brother Mzansi by a mile, but he hasn’t stopped winning at life ever since. He has launched a thriving music career and is making a name for himself everywhere he goes. It seems his reach is quite extensive.

He was blown away when an interaction with a national treasure was captured on video.

Themba was attending the Sout African Traditional Music Achievement Award when the interaction happened. He explained it in his post. He wrote, “😭💚Tears were all over my eyes when the great Dr Noxolo Grootboom came straight to my table after receiving an award @satmaawards to greet me personally😭,I never imagined that she even knows me 😭🙏🏾.”

 

 

 

 

This was obviously momentous for many reasons. Mama Noxolo Grootboom is one the country’s favourite people. She was the face of IsiXhosa news for a long time and her beloved sign off, “Ndinithanda nonke emakhaya” (I love you all at home) was timeless. She has since retired yet her impact lingers on in the culture.

People were happy for Themba under the post and wrote encouraging messages.

One user wrote, “I hope you now understand how much you’re loved Broly 🥺💚”

While another user wrote, “Woow.. Never underestimate yourself. The country loves you ntate🎶❤️💜”

A final user wrote, “This is powerful and beautiful at the same time. Look at God when He is for you who can be against you 🙏🏿you are the chosen one #ThembaBroly God is still going to do amazing things for you trust we love you and the universe align 💚👏 #SATMA2022”

I would probably also be thrilled if someone as legendary as Mama Noxolo recognised me and went out of her way to great me. It was a heartwarming interaction and proof that Themba is going to continue to make it in life. The support he has already is proof of that.
