The publication reported that Zikhona was spotted by them in Hyde Park mall with a very recognizable pregnancy glow. A mole told the publication that the actress is overflowing with joy as she is expecting, but wants to keep the pregnancy a secret so that she can announce it when the time is right.

She has also instructed the directors to not show her baby bump on television when filming. This is done to protect her unborn baby as well as her, because pregnancy is a sacred experience.

“Being a mother has always been Zikhona’s dream but work commitments and not finding the right person to father her baby was a big problem for her. She is over the moon. She kept her pregnancy a secret because she did not want to bring bad luck on the pregnancy,” a source told the publication.

“Zikhona is in good spirits and she had also been working on baby shoot concepts for her fans, which she intends to publish on her social media pages.”Zikhona Sodlaka is just the latest celebrity to be reportedly pregnant, actress Manaka Ranaka is also expecting but she too kept her pregnancy on the down low.

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.
