Starting fresh: Stephanie Ndlovu's heartfelt wisdom on overcoming life's hurdles
In a heart-warming conversation, South African YouTuber and actress Stephanie Ndlovu discussed the importance of new beginnings and how her faith has been instrumental in overcoming life's hurdles. Image: Instagram South African actress Stephanie Ndlovu opened up about heartfelt lessons and reflections that she had in her life, as well as values that were instilled in her from her childhood. Ndlovu recently appeared on the 'Wisdom & Wellness with Mpoomy Ledwaba' podcast and shared profound life lessons and reflections about how she navigates various aspects of her life. During the candid conversation, Ledwaba asked Ndlovu about the greatest lesson that her father left her with. The 34-year-old revealed the advice that her late father instilled in her about letting go and starting over. 'Probably, no matter how bad a situation seems, no matter how far gone you might think you are, if you need to start over, you can. And you are not starting over from nothing, you are starting over from experiences, you are starting over from lessons,' the mother of one shared. She added that everyone starts over from lessons and experiences that life has taught them, and as a person who is in charge of their life and decisions, you can start over and do things that you have always longed to do. 'You can decide at any point in time to start over and do the thing that you've been wanting to do, or you did and failed at, and now you want to try it again. Because when you try it again, you are trying it from a different advantage point,' she said. Ndlovu also shared what keeps her grounded when she finds herself in difficult situations. 'My faith in God and that despite what it looks like, He is working things out for my good. That it might not seem good right now, but it grounds me in the surety that He is good,' the former 'Scandal!' actress said. The heartfelt conversation comes after Ndlovu and her husband, Hungani, were embroiled in separation rumours, which were later confirmed to be true by them after they released a joint statement on social media. The pair shared that their relationship came to an end after six years of marriage, after revealing that their relationship had reached an irreparable disintegration. Watch the podcast below:

‘Please stop' - Stephanie Ndlovu defends her friend's name in divorce drama
One of South Africa's most beloved celebrity couples, Stephanie and Hungani Ndlovu, who had captured the hearts of fans with their seemingly picture-perfect marriage are now heading to a divorce. The announcement of their split has come as a shock and blow to their devoted followers, who had grown to admire and root for the power couple. Now, in the aftermath of their divorce revelation, Stephanie has spoken out about the intense public scrutiny and criticism that has followed, particularly targeting her friend Petronella Tshuma. Read more | Hungani and Stephanie Ndlovu divorce after six years of marriage TV presenter and actress, Stephanie Sandows-Ndlovu has broken her silence after preserving her comments amid divorce proceedings between her and her husband, Hungani Ndlovu. It's been a few days since the couple confirmed their split publicly which has caused a controversial discourse online from fans and social media users. Stephanie, in a recent Instagram video captioned 'Thanks' spoke out not necessarily about her and Hungani, but expressing her concern over the distasteful accusations and comments being directed at her friend, Petronella, whom she says has gone 'AWOL' on social media due to the hate she's been receiving. Stephanie further emphasised that while she can tolerate the negative comments about herself, she finds it unfair that her friend is being dragged into the situation. 'In the last few days or weeks, I've endured a level of bullying that I've never experienced in my life. I've been dragged, told the kind of mother I am, the kind of wife I was, and the kind of Christian I am,' she said. She added that while her strategy is always to 'block, close the comments section and delete,' she's now found herself having to defend her friend. 'It's unfair and hurtful for Petronella to deal with something she has no involvement in over a decision Hungani and I made. You guys have attacked her character, her as a person, and as a mother and I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's even fair for her having to stay away from social media due to this, so please stop,' she stressed. Furthermore, she called out the media outlets that have assassinated her friend's character and urged them to stop. Many fans have sympathised with her and sent her warm messages and love in the comments section including Hungani commenting 'well said' with a hugging and red heart emojis and has since shared the video on his Instagram story.
