Zoleka who is never afraid to reveal some personal details about her life, took to Instagram to share how she sees her future after giving birth to baby Zingce and it does not involve a man in her life.

Zoleka said: “Dear Diary, in 2023 and not this year because I’m giving birth to my very last baby for the rest of my life … I’m serious, it’s not funny and I don’t know why you’re laughing about it! ? Anyway, as I was saying, by the time I turn 43 in April 2023, I’m going to look and feel even better than what I looked like in this video (where I made the decision to be very SINGLE) I took in 2020, dawg. I also don’t want a man in my life because the moment I fall in love, weight gain and pregnancy same time, my n*gga!!! ? I just don’t know how I’m going to cope without the sexual benefits of having a man because I don’t want the relationship per se, but I want the part where he comes over when I tell him to … without him spending the night, without him being with anyone else or bothering me with feelings because that’s just not in my DNA anymore!!! ? Not to worry though, I’m in therapy for this because the therapist says I clearly have so many issues to work through because just WTF is wrong with me? ? Anyway, the hashtag will still remain the same”

Zoleka Mandela, who is a single mom and pregnant with her sixth child, takes pride in being an independent woman.

A few weeks ago the activist and author took to Instagram to announce her pregnancy.

“Dear Diary, so I thought I had food poisoning. Turns out I was pregnant with my sixth child. New hashtag loading. #42YrOldMotherOf6 but for now, #41YrOldMotherOf6,” she wrote.

As she prepares to welcome her bundle of joy into the world, Zoleka returned to Instagram to let people know that pity was not welcome.

“Don’t pity me because I’m a single mom. Respect me for having courage to do it alone, the strength to never give up, and the love to put my own child’s needs before my own. Proud happy mama,” she said.

Zoleka has been openly sharing about her pregnancy with fans. In a separate post, she revealed that her cravings were insatiable.

“#BabyZingce has me eating voraciously for the entire universe at this point, I can’t believe how exhausting it’s become … there’s only so much chewing I can do in one day and if I don’t succumb to my cravings, I feel like I have an endless pit in my stomach, then it becomes a freaking sh*t show for everyone around me!!!”

<img src=”https://“What must happen if I continuously date men who never make more money than I do and who I’m always taking care of? Why can’t they do the synchronised swimming, car pooling and crocheting if I’m paying for everything?” she asked.

She threw back to a post 11 years ago about relationships and said her biggest problem was now dating broke men.

“Relationships with broke men that can’t take care of me financially and they’re expensive penises (that make my vagina make poor life decisions for me that result in parting with so much money) are my biggest problem. Just show me the money!

“Zoleka Mandela concurs with her therapist of 11 yrs, and is still yet to answer one of her questions: Why does Zoleka Mandela think she deserves the very little the men she often chooses offer her? Why?”

Zoleka recently revealed that she is pregnant with her sixth child, and joked that she would have to throw a baby shower just to afford things.

“I should probably start planning a baby shower, although I despise those so very much. The speeches, the games, the spotlight, the surprises, the opening of gifts in front of everyone: It’s all just gross, man! I need the gifts though, so I don’t have to buy everything else myself.

“According to my baby budget: things, as per usual, are going to be even more expensive as a single parent but certainly manageable!”elegance7.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Zoleka-Mandela4.jpg” alt=”” width=”1080″ height=”1350″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-68183″ />

Author Zoleka Mandela had the TL in meltdown mode this week when she dished on dating “broke” men, asking why she has to constantly take care of them?

Zoleka, who is the granddaughter of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, took to Instagram to joke about the struggles of dating while a single mom.

“There are two things my therapist insinuates about me that I can’t say are not true — 1. I’ll probably be in therapy for the rest of my life and 2. In relationships, I’m usually the common denominator.

The late Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter Zoleka Mandela recently revealed that she was expecting her sixth child with her partner Andile Cana, and while many on social media are excited for her, there are also just as many who are tired of the pregnancy announcements from her.

The celebrated author made the announcement by posting pictures on social media, and the internet was immediately broken. First, she is radiant! As we have seen before, pregnancy really agrees with her, and she is glowing.

Many of her fans and celebrity friends, including Ayanda Ncwane and Phindile Gwala hopped into her comments to tell her as much and to congratulate her on her upcoming bundle of joy. Fans even pointed out that she carries so well that they were tempted to join her in pregnancy!

Unfortunately, while many were showering her with their congratulations and praises in her comments, tweeps were trolling her on the other side. As one fan asked in her comments, isn’t labour painful? Because apparently she makes it look so easy because of how frequently she does it.

“I love Zoleka so much but 6!…” one tweep wrote, and from the comments that took over social media, it seems this is a common sentiment. Some have even taken it upon themselves to calculate for her how much money she will be spending on school fees for her children which, though a little funny, was mean spirited and uncalled for.

As if that was not enough, she has since lost two children, a boy and a girl. She also lost her mother, whom she still talks about affectionately. She also battled breast cancer and won, which above all, makes her a hero and a survivor. She has turned her negative experiences into beautiful gifts to share with the world, as she is an advocate for road safety after she lost her daughter in a road accident.

Few people have been through as much as she has been, and it is unfortunate that her win is being turned into something negative. Even if she hadn’t been through as much as she has, it is her womb and she gets to do with it what she pleases, as one tweeps so aptly pointed out that they should let her do what makes her happy.

Zoleka Mandela, the granddaughter of struggle icons Nelson Mandela and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, recently celebrated her sobriety.

The author and socialite, who has been open about her battle with drug abuse, said that she’s been sober for 11 years. She took to social media to celebrate.

“Today, I celebrate an incredibly meaningful milestone for me. I celebrate my 11th sobriety birthday. I celebrate 11 years of being free from illegal drugs and alcohol. Today, I celebrate me, the woman I’m so proud to be,” she shared.

According to BBC, Zoleka had her first drink at the age of nine and by the time she was in her teen years, she was already abusing drugs as a means to escape and numb the pain of being abused.

Her story about her battle with substance abuse is described in her book When Hope Whispers, where she revealed how drugs took over her

She also shared on her daughter Zenani, who died in a tragic accident in 2010.

“I had not seen my daughter for 10 days before her passing, because I chose to use drugs. That’s obviously a reminder that I chose my addiction over my kids and I have to live with that for the rest of my life,” she revealed.

Zoleka also suffered from breast cancer in 2011 and had to undergo chemotherapy to treat the disease, which later came back again in 2016.

“I had refused treatment for the cancer for three months – I had given up, lost faith and wanted to die. I was lucky, privileged, and remain blessed to this day. I have my son, Zwelami to thank for saving my life.”

Zoleka Mandela recently took to Instagram to share a snap of herself nursing her tummy and said that she is nursing her 14th baby in the caption.

The star has found love again and cannot stop gushing about her new man. She often shares snaps of them on social media and the two have become one of Mzansi’s cutest couples on social media.

Responding to one of Zoleka’s heartfelt Instagram posts, her bae took to the comment section that he is equally in love as she is about him.

“I love how we so much alike, how (we) want to stand on the same side when we take pictures, you so similar to me it’s frustrating, it’s like I’m in the mirror looking at myself, your voice, how you walk, how you don’t take nonsense, how you so strict, shame to those who think they can bully you or break you down.” He said.

“I’m learning a lot from you, I Love you so much. When you not around I feel incomplete, we laugh, fight, play and pray together …..you treat I Hamile so good, you make it almost impossible to spend a day without you,”

In April 2021 Zoleka revealed that the Mandela family is currently in a state of disaster. The activist spoke about the worrying state of her family and how everything changed since her grandparents passed away.

“After my grandfather passed away, sh*t literally hit the fan. Things worsened after my grandmother’s passing and I honestly can’t believe that things have gotten even worse after my mother’s passing.” Said Mandela. “My family is at war with one another, why encourage the man to be part of a family that does not even want, respect, love or recognise its own bloodline?” She said.

Zoleka further added that her family is now divided. “Do you know that? Family has stolen, lied and fundamentally disrespected and altered what I thought a family or our family stood for … What I thought we felt for one another, what we mutually cared for … as a result of greed, ill-will and spiritual sickness. We’re not a family… I don’t even know my own family anymore.”

Zoleka Mandela, granddaughter of the late former president of the Republic of South Africa Nelson Mandela and mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, is head over heels in love and we love that for her.

Zoleka has lost many loved ones over the years, so it is always beautiful to see that she is still gaining new people to love.

In 2010, the writer and activist tragically lost her 13-year-old daughter, Zenani Mandela, in a car accident. The following year she lost her son Zenawe Zibuyile at infancy. In 2013 , her grandfather Nelson Mandela passed, followed by her grandmother Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in 2018. Two years later, in 2020, her mother Zindzi Mandela sadly lost her life. In the same year she took to her Instagram account to announce her split on from husband Thierry Bashala, explaining that it’s taken her two years to leave a relationship that “no longer serves” her.

Photos: Zoleka Mandela Gushes Over Her Man

Leaving someone you once loved, for eight long years feels like it completely unhinges your entire life until you realize that it’s sparked self-discovery, inner peace and has set you on a path of self-love. It’s taken me two years to leave a relationship that no longer serves me, one that has eroded (for far too many years) my self-esteem, independence, my mental and emotional state, [sic]” she had written.

Although all of this has affected her mentally and emotionally, she still has a positive outlook on life, “Leaving someone you once loved, reaffirms your strengths, it leaves you feeling more liberated and forces you to look into yourself and to move on even when you’re more comfortable staying in a relationship that (for the worst part) leaves you feeling invisible and undervalued … because you have a fear of abandonment and a fear of being alone” she had also written about her separation from her husband.

Now, the author of When Hope Whispers has finally found love in the arms of her prince charming and man crush, and the two go by the hashtag #UTekkieNoSlamba.

Her msn definitely changed her whole perception of Xhosa men, as she has sworn to never date a Xhosa man ever again.

On one of her post she had said, “Zoleka a few months back … “OMG!!! I would NEVER date a Xhosa man. OMG!!! I would NEVER date a male version of myself. NEVER, shem!” Zoleka a few months later … “OMG!!! Xhosa King aka @king_mayweather_cana_tbe What have you done to me!!! Like, actually just DATE me forever!!! I don’t care what I said a few months ago, the Devil is such a liar and you’ve changed my mind!!!”

Now the couple shares glimpses into their days spent together and all the romantic and goofy things they do together. We are here for this kind of love!

“Like I actually just dated me forever. I don’t care what I said a few months ago. T the devil is such a liar and you’ve changed my mind.

“You’re full of crap like me – never one to pretend and very stubborn, sexually inappropriate and temperamental, like I am.

“So self-sufficient and an as**le to those like me; to those who quickly need to remove themselves from our orbit.

“You’re really like me: incredibly bossy, too. You love and feel just as intensely as I do, hot and sexy all the time, and you’re pretty much everything you think and say you are – just like me.

“Also, we both don’t like being told what to do. We prefer our own company and act before we think. There’s way too much of me that I see and feel in you.

“So much I still want to feel and experience with you. Now the world must pray for us because, wow, you and me together is ayeye.”

“What have you done to me!!! Like, actually just DATE me forever!!! I don’t care what I said a few months ago, the Devil is such a liar and you’ve changed my mind!!!

“You’re so full of crap like me, never one to pretend, very stubborn AF, s.e.xually inappropriate and temperamental like I am.

Like me, when you’re done – you’re like really done and so incredibly bossy too,” she wrote.
