It’s been five months since TV personality Ntombi Mzolo’s newborn baby passed away with a rare heart condition called Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Now she wants to use her experience to inspire other mothers in similar experiences.

Taking to social media this week Ntombi paid tribute to her miracle baby who will be remembered for his fighting spirit.

“I'm glad I could bless you through my experience my sister. God Is using me every day to heal his children and I'm really blessed He chose my family. Since my loss I have had a chance to help other women deal with their loss and I'm just happy to be serving the Almighty God. God makes no mistakes... Everything happens for a reason,” Ntombi told one follower who was inspired by her story.

Ntombi’s unborn baby was diagnosed with the rare heart condition while she was still pregnant with him. The condition means that the left hand side of the heart is not developed properly and cannot pump blood to the rest of the body effectively.

At the time doctors advised to terminate her pregnancy but chose to carry her baby to full term. Ntombi’s miracle baby passed away one month after he was born.
