Last week it was reported that television actress Gugu Gumede had lost her mother. The star opened up about her mom’s passing for the first time with her followers this morning. “There is never a point in life where one wishes to walk the path that I am on; but such is life - we are born, we fulfil our assignment to the best of our abilities, and we depart.” She wrote.

Gugu adds that her mom had to break many generational curses for them to be where they are today – she changed many lives.
“My mother was a giant. A king. She came from nothing and had the task of breaking many generational curses; blessing many family members in between. She was a dedicated public servant; a pioneer and activist who changed many people’s lives.” She continued.
Gumede has thanked the public for the continued support they’ve shown to her and her family during their time of mourning.
“To my brother and I, though, she was Mommy. My BEST FRIEND. My confidant. My greatest fan. My prayer warrior. Our queen that we so dearly loved and revered. Words will never be enough to express our appreciation for the love and affection that she single-handedly raised us with.”
She is grateful that her Queen got to witness all of her children become successful and live out their dreams.
“We never lacked; and when the opportunity presented itself, we ensured that she never did too - and we are appreciative of this. We thank God that she lived long enough to watch her children be successes in their own rights, and bless her for it in return. Today, we are at peace knowing that she rests with the knowledge that she was loved and appreciated immensely.”
Gugu may not be able to respond to all the messages of support that she has received but she is appreciative.
“Thank you so much to everyone that has extended a hand during this incredibly difficult time. I may not be able to answer every call, text or DM - but I see them, and I’m appreciative. May God continue to bless you all and watch over your loved ones.
“Hamba kahle Njinji. Yengwayo. Our hearts are in shambles, but we remain as strong as you were. I am so proud to be your daughter, Manqondo. I’ll always walk tall. You did it!” She concluded.
Another actress who recently lost their mom is Thembi Seete. Speaking about her passing, she said that it hasn’t been easy.
“It’s not easy, my heart is shattered. I mean writing this right now is difficult, she was sick for a long time as she had a brain tumour and was in pain most of the time. We all did our best taking care of her. What's comforting is knowing that she’s at peace now and no longer in pain.” Shared Thembi in part.
