Lerato Phasha reveals her baby's name

Her engagement is not the only thing Lerato has shared with her online community.

Briefly News reported on one of the content creator's Instagram story posts, in which she hosted a question and answer session with her followers, who did not hold back on asking about her newborn.

One of the questions from a follower was about her son's name, and Lerato proudly revealed that her little man was named after his dad.

The name is derived from the Zulu/ Xhosa word "ukubonga" (to give thanks), and carries a meaning centred around gratitude. Mbongeni is traditionally given to express gratitude and acknowledge blessings.

Her story, which has embraced new beginnings—from new mom to future wife—is a genuine reflection of gratitude and commitment as Lerato and Oscar prepare to exchange vows and start an exciting new chapter in their love story.
