Bokang Montjane humbled by motherhood

Bokang Montjane and Siphiwe Tshabalala managed to keep their relationship from the public for a long time.

The former Miss South Africa and Kaizer Chiefs player, who have been together for three years, recently welcomed their first child together. Now, it seems like the pair is ready to share their love, and their baby, with South Africa. Siphiwe shared a cute snap of baby Owethu on Instagram recently and it was the cutest things we’ve seen in a while. 

Bokang has taken things a bit further by opening up about her life as a mother. Speaking to Drum magazine, she said having a child is the greatest gift she could have ever received. “I always thought I was blessed with my career, and becoming Miss SA was my tenth beauty title.”

But having Owethu has changed the way she views things. “It’s like my heart has been ripped out of my body and placed right in front of me. It’s a beautiful feeling, because when I look at him, I think, ‘Oh my goodness, this is all me’. My blood is running through his veins. It’s a humbling feeling,” she told the mag.

The beauty queen advised that it’s better to have a child when you’re emotionally and financially ready. She added: “We’ve been together for a whil and I am happy about our decision because we were both ready.”
