Simz Ngema set to star in ‘1Magic’s 365 days’

Actress Simphiwe Ngema better known as Simz bags a new role in 1Magic’s 365 days. 

The news surfaced after entertainment commentator Phil Mphela made an announcement on his Twitter page that the actress has bagged an acting gig. 

“Simphiwe Ngema in new series. Ngema plays Vusi’s (played by Cedric Fourie) love interest in the new miniseries coming to 1Magic 365 Days which will premiere on 1Magic in April 2023,” tweeded Phil. 

According to TshisaLIVE, Simz’s new character is called Rea who is a fashion designer and her business is not doing well. She lives with her best friend and is struggling to find love, until she meets Vusi, played by Cedric Fourie, the publication reported. 

Simz explained her new character a little bit more while speaking to TshisaLIVE.

“She is a go-getter who doesn’t let anything stand in her way and she is willing to do anything to make sure her business succeeds. Vusi is just a guy who is enjoying life. He is from a well-off family and he is used to getting everything he wants. Meeting Rea teaches him a lot of lessons,” said Simz.

The actress also took to her Instagram timeline where she reposted Phil’s Twitter post saying: “God keeps on doing great things in my life. #grateful #ujehovamkhulu.”

This garnered her many congratulatory messages from her industry colleagues, along with her fans.
