Kgomotso Christopher's husband, Calvin made her childhood dream of having a piano a reality when he surprised her with one earlier this week. 

Taking to Instagram Kgomotso was blown away by the gesture and expressed how grateful she was. 

"He told me to rush home because there's a guy who needs to fix his sound system...this is what I found...a whole Baby Grand. It's not my birthday, it's not even my birthday month...but this is a present I've hoped for since I was a child and he knew. And he knew."

The actress explained that she fell in love with the piano as a child and begged her parents who weren't wealthy to send her for piano lessons. 

"It was only for one year. In that year my piano teacher told me not to give up on playing, even if we didn't have a piano at home. She told me to practice at home on the kitchen table & spend all my days in the school music room...I did...and in one year, I took the Royal Academy of Music Board exams and fell a few points short of a distinction." 

Now at 38 years old Kgomotso's dream of having her own piano has become a reality thanks to her husband, and she can't wait to start learning to play again.
