'People are wild' — Faith Nketsi reveals strangers take pictures of her baby

Reality TV star Faith Nketsi has not been posting about her baby Sky on social media. However, she recently shared she was reconsidering it.

She opened up on her Twitter timeline that she has been dealing with fans who sneakily take pictures of her child and now was thinking of finally sharing her daughter with her followers.

“I’m thinking of posting Sky and just letting go of my fear. I’m so tired of walking up to strangers and calling them out and asking them to delete the pictures they sneakily took. People are wild,” she wrote.

In October 2022 after the final episode of her reality show aired she thanked people who respected her choice to keep her pregnancy private.

“Just like that! That is it from me with my pregnancy journey and I’d like to thank you guys so much, not only for respecting my decision to keep it private but also for accepting and loving me and baby Sky,” she wrote.

She also took an opportunity to gush about her husband who she thanked for taking a leap of faith with her

“Baba ka Sky my love ngiyabonga! You're my peace, my comfort and my strength. You make life that much special. You will forever have my heart till I’m no longer on this earth. No matter what, you will forever remain my family because you gave me the most beautiful gift of being a mother. I’ll forever grant you respect and love for taking that leap of faith with me.”

Faith's mother Linky Modise, affectionately known as Mama Linky, told TshisaLIVE pregnancies were meant to be kept secret. 

“She was blessed with a bundle of joy. She's a new mom ... We thank you South Africa for respecting her privacy. You know she wanted to protect the sanctity of her pregnancy due to our cultural and traditional belief. All Africans know that. She went through that peacefully, happily [and is] growing into motherhood,” she said.
