This interview sheds light on the complexities of their bond and the misconceptions that have emerged since Ginimbi’s tragic passing.

Zodwa began by reflecting on her relationship with Ginimbi, emphasizing the strength required to be with someone of his stature.

She revealed that their connection was rooted in friendship, which formed the foundation of their romantic relationship.

Zodwa noted, “The first two years were challenging, but I accepted that age is just a number.

We were closer as friends than as a couple, which is why we remained friends even after our separation in 2018.”

The pain of losing him is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone,” she shared, highlighting the deep bond they had maintained until his last day.
