Manaka is just weeks away from welcoming her baby and she has not revealed the gender. She is a proud grandmother as her eldest daughter Katlego also gave birth a few weeks ago.
She plays Lucy Diale on the hit SABC 1 soapie but will be taking a breather as she prepares to go on maternity leave very soon.
Although motherhood is not anything new to her because she has two grown daughters, the actress told Daily Sun that the experience is nothing new. She has also slammed those who hold boy children at the highest honor than girls.
“It’s the same feeling I felt when I had my two daughters, so this experience is nothing new. People have been saying they hope I’m carrying a boy, but we’ll see. I look forward to giving birth to a child. I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s not an animal,” she laughed.
“Boys and girls are equally important and have different functions in society. “I don’t believe that boys are necessarily better. According to society and culture norms, they’re carriers of legacies. Girls also bring kids into this world,” she added.
The expectant mother said she will be going on maternity leave very soon.
“I’m still working, but will go on leave a few weeks from now. Lucy will also be gone,” she said.
There have been quiet a few lockdown babies and there are still a few who are still expecting them.
YouTuber Moshe Ndiki excited many when he announced that he is expecting a bundle of joy via surrogacy. Announcing the wonderful news he wrote on social media, “I prayed for you , longed for you , Thalanda Ilanga Ntaba Alexander Ndiki. (Tina)” he said revealing the baby’s name.
“Thank you to my doctor, my fertility clinic, my friend Sabelo who helped me start and my surrogate, what a journey we have travelled and still to travel… I’m gonna be a dad,” captioned Moshe the snaps.
