South African actress Sivenathi Mabuya has delighted fans by revealing that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Aphiwe Bukani.
Taking to Instagram, the glowing star proudly debuted her baby bump with the caption: “Bump’s out the bag … thank you for your kindness. We couldn’t be happier.”
The joyful announcement sent waves across social media, with fellow celebrities and friends flooding her comments section with congratulatory messages.
Actress Hope Mbele gushed, “The way I wanted to jump when I saw you at the premiere but I was like let me wait till she announces. So happy for you, my love!!!” while dance queen Bontle Modiselle chimed in, “Sooo gorgeous!!! CONGRATULATIONS beautiful.”
Nefisa Mkhabela couldn’t hide her excitement either, writing: “OH MY GOOOODDNESSSS! THE INSTANT TEARS OF JOY THAT JUST CAME DOWN DRIPPING! Congratulations mama.”
The pregnancy news comes hot on the heels of another special milestone — the couple’s wedding anniversary. Just last month, Sive marked three beautiful years of marriage with Aphiwe Bukani, sharing a romantic message:
“17 years your pursuit 5 years your girl 3 years your wife… and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Happy anniversary baba, I love you.”
The couple’s love story is the stuff of fairy tales. After Aphiwe waited 12 years to take Sive on their first ice cream date — a promise he made back in 2008 — they finally tied the knot in a stunning traditional ceremony in 2022.
Now, their next chapter begins as they prepare to welcome their little one. Fans are overjoyed and eagerly awaiting baby updates from the radiant mom-to-be.
Congratulations to Sivenathi and Aphiwe on this beautiful new journey!
