Beloved South African media personality, Somizi Mhlongo, is celebrating the fact that his daughter is the first one in his family to graduate from university.
Somizi is a proud father
Somizi’s daughter Bahumi has graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree and he and Palesa Madisakwane are super proud parents.
Both the Idols SA judge and Palesa took to social media to share the happy moment, celebrating Bahumi in her graduation gown.
“There was a time I thought I’d never live to see this day…So proud of her…..the first to ever graduate in our family……,’ Somizi captioned a video from Bahumi’s graduation.
He then jokingly added that now it’s “payback time”: “Congrats baby girl……now from Monday it’s payback time for my school fees…..R2million plus.”
Watch Bahumi beam with joy as she graduates in the video below:
Palesa also made a few posts on her own Instagram page with photos of Bahumi and her proud family.
Bahumi following in her parents’ footsteps
As both of her parents are in the spotlight as actors and media personalities, it comes as no surprise that Bahumi is already following in their footsteps.
She has been an aspiring actress since a younger age and her latest project is set to preview in April. She will be playing “Refiwe”, a “strong-willed” daughter, on Mzansi Magic’s latest show, Umbuso.
