The actress also reflected on the tragedy of losing the matriarch of her family after her mother and grandmother were shot dead at Makgophong village, Zebediela, on May 4 2021.

“An answered prayer. An addition to my family. Most people know of the heartbreaking tragedy that happened in my life, the past years being a blur at times kodwa at the end of it all, God showed me grace.

“Kumnyama kodwa wathi “Ngikhona mtanam, lisakhanya, worry not” Ka nnete re tla hlula tšohle ka Morena. To a new chapter, tshemologo ya bophelo bo boncha,” read the caption. 

There's baby fever in celebville. Actress Sive Mabuya-Bukani and her hubby Aphiwe are also expecting their first child together.

“Bump’s out the bag. Thank you for your kindness. We couldn’t be happier,” she captioned the post.
