"Happy birthday muntu wami, you came into my life and made it so beautiful, I am forever grateful," she wrote. "I pray to Lord Almighty to grant you more wisdom, discernment, patience, love and most above all a long blessed happy life. Khula uze ukhokhobe Soko yangullO, ngikuthanda thandi."
Her tribute included a powerful scriptural reference from Deuteronomy 28:13, highlighting her prayerful hopes for Chiwenga's continued rise and divine guidance:
"And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath..."
