TV presenter and actress Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo has warmed hearts across Mzansi after sharing a heartfelt tribute to her son on his third birthday. The post, shared on her X account @tembisanxumalo, revealed details about the little boy that fans had not known before.
In the post, Thembisa explained that her son Naphakade arrived on 29 September 2023, a date that carries enormous meaning for the family. "On this day, 3 years ago. On my dad's wedding day, which happens to be Simanye's birthday, I gave birth to our miracle baby," she wrote, calling Naphakade a "miracle baby" and signing off with gratitude: "To God be the glory."
The story behind the nickname
Beyond the birthday message, Thembisa Mdoda gave fans a glimpse into the playful side of motherhood by revealing the nickname they gave Naphakade: 1802. The name is a nod to the period drama she was filming while pregnant, as she explained the baby "was baking" when she shot the production. The detail delighted fans, who appreciated how naturally his story was woven into her work life.
