Ayanda Ncwane celebrates first birthday without Sfiso

Sfiso Ncwane's memory took centre stage at his widow, Ayanda's birthday celebrations over the weekend.

Ayanda celebrated her first birthday without the gospel star, but he definitely wasn't forgotten. 

The businesswoman started off her day by sharing a cute video of Sfiso singing to her last year

She said that for 15 years Sfiso would stop everything to celebrate the day. 

"He always said when God created him, he had August 12 in mind. Yes, it's a cold and lonely bedroom today, but I guess I have to thank God for a blessed & beautiful birthdays we had & many more to come." 

Ayanda's friends and family rallied to throw her a surprise party 

Even though Ayanda found out about the surprise party, she said she knew everyone wanted to help her move forward, and that she was grateful for the love. 

"Your efforts and love is everything to me. I am so sorry I had to find out about about it, i hope you all understand when i explain why my reason for not accepting it but I truly apologize to you all," she said. 

A huge painting of Sfiso was given to Ayanda as a gift
