Nandi Mngoma pays tribute to her mom

Johannesburg- The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, right? 

Well that certainly seems to be the case with Nandi Mngoma and her mom. 

Nandi's mom turned 55-years-old on Thursday, but she could totally pass for someone ten years younger. 

Nandi took to social media to celebrate her mom's special day, thanking her for being beautiful on the inside and out. 

"I don't know how you manage to still look so young! But I think I know your secret now...As much as you have always been beyond beautiful aesthetically, you're even more beautiful internally," Nandi wrote. 

Now we know where Nandi Mngoma gets her incredible looks and humbling personality from! 

??Happy 55th Bday to my mother??. I don't know how you manage to still look so young! But I think I know your secret now.. As much as you have always been beyond beautiful aesthetically, you're even more beautiful internally. Dad did good by marrying you??. So blessed to call you my mother. You've always made sure we're happy and given us the very best as your children, while still getting an education and being a great wife. To my best friend, my muse, my angel! I love you so much!!!! And Happy 55th Bday! You and dad inspire and have loved me so much! #ThankYou #MyHeart #Family #MngomaFamily #Ma #55andstillfly
