"I'm READY for 40. 16 days to go. Thank you, Almighty God. I Love You."
One would be excused for thinking the legendary former presenter, who's been the subject of much pregnancy speculation of late, was still in her early 30s.
The Gomora actress has dismissed suggestions of a possible bun in the oven, which followers have attributed to her recent glow, according to ZAlebs.
Mission accomplished, life begins at 40
She revealed that her priority right now is to live life to the fullest, having achieved all her life's dreams while in her 20s.
“My focus, when I was young, was to be a TV star, and I ended up as a global star. I'm content now because all my dreams happened in my 20s.
"I sometimes feel I have no dreams [left] because I smashed them all in my 20s. I'm now just living. I have different dreams now as I head to 40," Thema said.
Many Mzansi social media users, who were in disbelief over Thema's age, rushed to her mentions to heap the praises.

A peek into Pearl Modiadie's baby's 1st birthday safari
In related news, Briefly News recently reported that it seems like just yesterday that Pearl Modiadie announced the birth of her child, Lewatle.
The doting mother commemorated her son's big milestone with a Disney style Safari garden party. Pearl is not one to share her private life with her followers.
For the most part, the celeb keeps her work and home separate. OKMzansi reports that on some odd occasions, Modiadie takes to social media to post tips and tricks on being a mom.
The enviable party saw some celebrity parents in attendance. Mzansi well-knowns such as Thomas Msengana, Denise Zimba and Lorna Maseko were invited.
Upon posting some snaps from the tiny tot's birthday party, Pearl wrote:
"No words, I’m happy. We are so grateful for you. My family & the community I grew up in made this very special day wholesome. It truly takes a village to raise a child and today my little village came through for me in a big way."
