Ayanda Ncwane wrote an emotional letter to her late husband, Sfiso Ncwane, to mark five years since his passing.
The gospel star died in hospital on 5 December 2016 after succumbing to kidney failure.
“I asked God to give me five years to get used [to] living without you Gwamanda, and He has…. Today I don’t grieve for you…. I celebrate you, your powerful legacy, our friendship, our unforgettable love, and marriage,” Ayanda wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.
Ayanda and Sfiso share sons, Mawenza and Ngcweti. She says Sfiso would be proud of how she has raised their boys.
“I know how much you loved the boys & how intentional you were at raising them to be even greater than you.”
While there have been some rumours, Ayanda has not been romantically linked to anyone since Sfiso’s passing.
The ‘Real Housewives of Durban’ star writes in her letter that she has taken her time to remarry because Sfiso set the bar high.
“…. I know what a GREAT & enjoyable marriage full of love is supposed to be… I think the wedding vows were written by a group of men and there were no women on board because I disagree with the part that says “till death do us part”. Maybe for men but personally I carry you in my heart and spirit.”

Ayanda has managed to pick up the pieces following Sfiso’s death with grace and dignity.
The businesswoman received a Global African Award in November for her ‘Outstanding Contribution to Entertainment and the Music Industry’.
“It is humbling to be recognized for the work over the years and many thanks to everyone who has supported our endeavors over the years,” she wrote on Instagram.
Ayanda also won two awards in Nigeria in September. The Clima Africa Awards recognised Ayanda in the ‘Best Dressed’ and ‘Positive Impact Music” categories.
