“I feel like God sends people to me because, like I said, I'm always in the house, I'm always minding my own business. I'm not a girl who's going to be out there looking for something, but God, in some way, kind of brought him into my life. I wasn't looking for a guy who was like my dad. He just sent somebody who was so similar to my dad,” she explained.
When asked how she knew it was the right time to move on, Simz Ngema said there was no sign from God. She explained how she dealt with the criticism that came when she moved on. Simz said she has found peace with her decision to move on by being true to herself.
“You never know because you overthink everything and that's why for me everything that has been said about that situation in the media, on social media whatever it's things that I've already thought of yeah so it doesn't affect me as much because I've already thought of ‘Okay people are going to say this. When you move on, people are going to say that.' I've just learned to live my truth and to do things that work for me and forget about everybody else,” she explained.

Simz Ngema on people's opinions
Simz Ngema emphasised that people’s opinions about her hold no significance in her life because she’s focused on her healing journey. She explained:
“The opinions, the people, that stuff doesn't matter. What you're facing is already big enough. It's already traumatic enough. It's already a lot, it's already overwhelming enough. Where do you get the strength to even care about what people are saying? There is no strength. There is no time. There's no emotional capacity to pay attention to stuff like that. So, for me, I just told myself that I will focus on who I am.”
