"Family over everything 🧡 DJ Shimza with Athi and his daughter! 🤩", quickly caught fire as fans couldn't stop talking about how closely Lekganyo resembles her father.
What is the name of DJ Shimza's lookalike daughter?

Back in December 2017, ahead of his 9th annual One Man Show at Mehlareng Stadium, Shimza opened up to TshisaLIVE about the profound impact fatherhood had on him.
"My daughter is turning five in January, and it's been a great experience being her dad. It has taught me so much about responsibility, and I didn't know that I could love another human being so much. Now more than ever, I have to continue doing what I do for my community. Because one of the kids I help will one day tell my daughter, 'your father contributed to my success'," he said.
Those words hit differently now, with fans seeing just how much Lekganyo has grown, and how strikingly she mirrors her father's features.
