Renowned local actress, musician and businesswoman Simphiwe 'Simz' Ngema recently attended the Nicci Winter Launch Preview.
Dressed in a hot pink number, Ngema chatted to IOL Entertainment about life after welcoming her second child in December. Comfort was the main factor in Ngema’s outfit of the day.
Ngema in 2024 was a busy woman, appearing on screens with her movie “The Winning Ticket” and short series “365 Days”. Not only is her screen work keeping her busy, but she is a businesswoman and a mother to a busy toddler.
“It’s a lot of work and I’m very lenient with myself, I always tell myself that I do what I can and on days where I wasn’t able to do everything, I forgive myself and say try again tomorrow.”
After some time off acting, Ngema is finally returning to acting and hints at a few deals being in the pipeline. Ngema is all into influencing, which has been great for her; she is one of the faces for Luvme Hair.
Ngema recalls starting in the entertainment industry as an actress and later entering the world of influencing, which has not been without its challenges. “It’s been very interesting, because I have learnt to evolve, I have learnt to look at what other people are doing and learn from them, especially the great influencers.”
She adds that she always advises other actors to learn how to work social media because that’s how a person attracts brands that want to work with them.
