Big poser: Will Juju be a dad soon?

- By JULIA MADIBOGO

IT LOOKS like Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and wife Mantwa have welcomed their first child together.

Malema let the cat out of the bag when he posted a picture of himself and Mantwa yesterday morning with a caption that read: “Mma Munzhedzi re a leboga‚ Modimo le Badimo ba leboloke”‚ which‚ loosely translated‚ is “Munzhedzi’s mother we thank you‚ May god and the gods protect you”.

TMG Digital understand­s that Munzhedzi – a Venda name meaning a self-starter or leader – is the child’s name. It is either a boy or a girl’s name.

Three senior EFF officials declined to comment‚ saying the matter is private.

EFF national chairman, Dali Mpofu, said: “It’s best if you call him.”

Malema’s unanswered

The couple tied the knot in December 2014 at a luxurious private ceremony in Malema’s hometown of Seshego.

Malema has a son‚ Ratanang‚ born from a relationsh­ip with Maropeng Ramohlale. — TMG Digital cellphone yesterday rang morning.
