"Children are different from us, and in many ways, they are more advanced. My parenting style is not that unique," she said, adding that she lets her child become the author of their own story.
SA stunned after MaCele claims MaKhumalo has a child
Social media users flooded the comments with mixed reactions. While some urged MaKhumalo to respond, others weighed in on MaCele’s claims with speculation.
Here are some of the comments:
@LihleonX claimed:
“Lies lies, lies 😂😂😂😂 this one just wants to discredit Thobile.”
@ngwanamahlaba said:
“People on this App were trolling this poor woman for no reason😂😂Am so happy when she’s firing back to their faves.”
@GeeBeeVon theorised:
“I suspect Musa used to chow MaK when she was younger and a worker at Musa's company, like a boss chowing the secretary, then she got pregnant, then Musa rushed to marry her. But what happened to that child?”
@LungstarSibiya said:
“This woman will never admit that she married a serial liar. Musa keeps playing her on many occasions, and she doesn’t learn. He was probably the baby daddy in secret - I don’t trust him.”
@Lethabo_____ alleged:
“It's not shocking. Even MaSaule had a child before marrying Earthly King. MaCele is just bitter.”
@teeBhelekazi asked:
“Mseleku is still failing to call uMacele into order🚮🚮Why didn’t she ask Thobile at the retreat?”
