She then slammed those people who often ask, when is she having another child. “Then people recklessly ask you when you’re having another child. Kwaaa. You got jokes!! You got NO clue how much pain it took for me to even get to this 1.”
Mpho also asked people to stop asking other people when are they having children as it’s a very sensitive topic. “This is why we ask that you don’t go around asking people when they’re having children, it’s not always a smooth journey.”

It wouldn’t be a complete birthday without a message from the dad wouldn’t it be? Former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana player Reneilwe shared this special message to his son. “Guess who’s birthday it is today? Yep, T is turning 9 years old. Wishing him many more years to come and may God bless him with all his heart desires. May he grow older and be a Super Hero he is. Happy Birthday, T’niesta. Love you too much.”
