"Happy Birthday mama. The one who made me a mother . The one who made me aGmom (grandmother) . You @kay.stone_core are such a blessing in my life. We were so meant to be. 20 years of doing this life thing together, and I’ve never looked back since. I remember when women I worked for told me to abort you and I was like la hlanya (y'all are crazy), they fired me!
"Honestly I didn’t care, coz I was so determined to keep you and enter the next chapter in my life and that was being a mom ( Lauren Hill’s song Zion kept me going when I felt that the world was against us). I was ready man, as young as they said I was, I was ready for you, and its been quiet a journey baby. A journey I would repeat any day. Have a blessed day ngwanaka (my child). You’ll always be my baby. You’ve always been my Joy. My ZION. "

The news that Ranaka is pregnant raised a few brows as she had just become a gogo. However, Ranaka does not care what others say and is looking forward to meeting her precious princess.

Speaking to Daily Sun, Ranaka expressed how simple this pregnancy had been as she had done it twice before. Sis also made it clear that she is proud of her girl army and that people should stop putting such an emphasis on having boys.
