As reported by TshisaLIVE on Thursday, Papa Penny Penny is preparing to welcome his 25th child at age 57 and while the news has shocked many, it isn't a big deal to him.

Papa Penny explained that his father had 68 children so he still has a long way to go and can't wait for the arrival of his unborn son. 

"I'm very happy. This also shows that I'm still energetic. It is great because I still want so many children. I'm grateful to my wife because we share the same goal. She wants to make me a village as well. We can't wait for his arrival. My wife is almost eight months now," Papa Penny said.

Penny Penny Jnr, as he has been named, is due anytime now and the reality star shared how he could not wait for his family to get even bigger. He explained that it wasn't that he was competing with his father, it was that he had learnt the value of a big family and wanted one himself.

"Penny Penny Jnr will be child number 25. It makes me proud and happy because I've always wanted a big nation, many children. That is the legacy I want. I'm also happy my wife still wants to do that for me. I still have the energy for more."

Although Papa Penny hasn't been a present father to all his children, he's made attempts to re-unite with his children and some of these moments have been documented on his reality TV show Papa Penny Ahee.

Although no date has been announced as yet, Papa Penny shared that his show would return for season three and for him it was not only the best season yet but it is "powerful".

"We shot a lot last year and I feel it is going to be very nice. It is the best and my family and me are in full display. It is very powerful and will show people all my sites. People will love it. Just as they have loved me and my family from day one."
