After announcing their pregnancy on 9 July, it is clear that the couple has much to be grateful for and is basking in God's glory in their lives.

The announcement coincided with Manku's character losing her pregnancy on the show with her on-screen husband Kwaito, after doctors informed her that it would be life-threatening.

Following the emotional rollercoaster of being a key witness in her father's murder case, Manku said her second child is an answered prayer after losing her mother and Granny:

"God has shown 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."
