DENISE ZIMBA ON HER WEDDING DAY 

Speaking to Sowetan in March, the 33-year-old actress said she and Jakob Schlichtig got married at Home Affairs in 2019 and the wedding celebrations were scheduled for 2020, weeks before the hard lockdown in March.

“With the venue paid and plans already in motion, this wedding celebration is just us following through with our vision and seeing it come to life,” said Zimba. 

“We will have the normal ceremony of walking down the aisle with my nieces as my flower girls and the ring bearer being my nephew. Then we will have a spiritual guiding teacher/mentor instead of a pastor who will officiate the wedding,” she added. 

The couple welcomed their first child together in July 2019.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN STELLENBOSCH

Taking to Instagram on Monday 11 April, Zimba shared a passionate message for her husband, Jakob. 

“You are brave to take me on buddy! And because of that, I knew, I couldn’t possibly lose the opportunity the universe has gifted me, with your soul. I love you so much.”

“My protector, my soul’s keeper, my voice of reason, my reason to live a fulfilled life. Leah and I couldn’t have asked for a more powerful being like yourself. We chose you and thank you for opening your heart to us,” she wrote.
