It is a sad new year for Mzansi’s media personality and her family after having lost their loved one.

Nonhle Thema is a South African media personality known for being a daughter of another celebrity being Cyntia Shange known as an actress from Muvhango who appeared as Thandazo’s mother. She is popular known for being a presenter on Channel O under shows such as O-boma and O-Access. Thema is also known for having previously been on Vuzu TV also as a presenter.

She is an actress, presenter and producer. It is a difficult period for Nonhle Thema as she has lost one of her parent being her father, Derrick Thema who was a journalist and an author.

She took to social media announcing the bad news while thanking her father for what he has done for her together with her siblings.

Nonhle Thema posted a picture of her withher father and said, “D. T MR Derrick Thema. Love you forever Dad. Rest in Heaven. Thank you for raising me and my siblings. You’re a King”.

No matter how old a person can be, a father or a father’s love is always needed. Loosing a father is also one of the difficult things that one must go through and no one even deserves to go through the pain of loosing a loved one especially a parent. It is so sad that Mzansi’s celebrity has lost her parent especially when the year has just began.

However, her father has played his part and contributed to the entertainment industry. What is now left is for Nonhle Thema to continue doing the same as her father did. Condolences to her and the rest of the family. May they find comfort during this difficult time.
