The footage goes on to show her sporting a big smile as she receives a delivery box filled with work equipment and devices for her to use for work.
Simamkele shared a few touching words in the hope of uplifting others who were still on their job search:
"I'm doing this to encourage those who are still looking for a job. As hard as it may be, but don't lose hope. God is never late nor early but is always right on time.
"After one year of being unemployed, I got an interview for a different post within the same company, but I did not get those posts, everyone was shocked because we all believed that I was the right applicant, but God said to seek me first, and everything else shall follow.
"The song that kept me going was “Khulul’Gcobo Lwakho Nkosi Esimeni Sam”, and boom, right after my birthday, God blessed me with this job in a higher division than the one I applied for. All in all, have patience and trust in him as He will Deliver."
