Multi-award-winning singer Simphiwe Dana recently celebrated her daughter Zandisile's 23rd birthday on social media.
The Ndiredi hitmaker previously trended on social media when she received criticism from Gomora actress Sannah Mchunu when she shared her opinions on the afro chic hairstyle.
The singer shared a photo of her daughter on her Instagram account on Friday, 3 July 2026.
"She’s at the age I gave birth to her. I was 23. She’s now 23. She inspired my first album, Zandisile in a most profound way. I’m her cheerleader now. And with her spirit, I wouldn’t be surprised if she creates a shelter for those she deems are in need. And gets into foundations that help her people. Ndizele Bethunana," said the singer.
