She grew up between Johannesburg and KwaZulu Natal after her parents split when she was just 18 months old. She decided to move in with her late father, Fartescue Conco.
Nonetheless, Laconco had a good childhood. Her mother did different jobs - sewing, hairdressing and being a domestic worker - to make ends meet while LaConco helped by selling sweets to make money for her personal use.
LaConco's father died in 2021. Despite the pain, she said she was grateful that he’d lived to see her success and at the same time, consoled her mother.

Nonkanyiso Laconco’s relationship with former South African president Jacob Zuma reportedly began in 2013 when Zuma was still in office.
The pair kept their affairs a secret until 2018 when Zuma popped the big question. The former statesman then moved to pay Laconco’s bride price as she was already pregnant with his child.
She gave birth to her son, now aged 4, on 12 April 2018, the same day that his baby daddy celebrates his birthday.
On the show The Real Housewives of Durban, Laconco revealed that she’s raising her son with the help of her mother as her ex-husband Jacob Zuma is a busy man.

Whilst she claims she understands her circumstances, Laconco is angry that Zuma doesn't play his role in their child's life.
As Laconco adjusted to life as a new mother, news of Zuma and Laconco’s break-up emerged which quashed any wedding plans they had.
It’s alleged that Laconco’s father was unhappy with Zuma because he did not honour all marriage rights expected of him.
Following the split, Laconco moved out of her house in Zimbali bought for her by Zuma and moved in with her mother in Eastern Cape.
One of the reasons why Jacob Zuma and Nonkanyiso “Laconco” Conco’s relationship was of interest was because of the huge age gap.
Jacob Zuma was born on 12 April 1942 and Laconco was born in 1991 which meant that Laconco’s ex-husband was 50 years older.
