Simba Mhere would’ve turned 27 on Thursday.

The late Top Billing presenter, who passed away in a car accident earlier on in the year, touched many lives with his larger-than-life attitude and kind-hearted spirit.

Although he was sadly taken from his loved ones too soon, his spirit remains alive through his family and friends.

Earlier on in the month, his family and Basetsana Kumalo donated all proceeds from Simba’s memorial to the Pop Scotch Daycare in Diepsloot.

Simba’s colleague, Lorna Maseko wished him a happy birthday

 

Happy Birthday Brother!!!! You'll always be missed!! ❤️❤️❤️

Publicist Jarred Doyle, who was also close to the late Top Billing presenter, shared this video of Simba who was always up to some adventerous fun.

 

Last year when you helped me build myself up again... :) " The only gifts today will be the gifts you left behind; The laughter, joy and happiness... precious memories...the best kind. Today I'll do my very best to try and find a happy place... struggling to hide my heavy heart and the tears on my face. I'll sit quietly and look at your picture thinking of you with love; hoping you're doing ok in Heaven up above. May the angels hold you close and sing you a happy song... and I'll be sending wishes to you today and all year long." Happy Birthday Dude #Simba

We're not sure what he was riding here, but knowing Simba he also would've gotten his hands on an I.O Hawk a long time ago if he was still here.

R.I.P, Simba, and happy birthday.
