Manku shared on her Instagram account earlier this month that she’s pregnant with her second child.
Daily Sun reported on Tuesday, 22 July, that Manku has given birth to her second child. The publication reports that the actress, who was a key witness in her father’s murder trial on Monday, 21 July, was unable to testify because she had just given birth to her baby. The fan-favourite actress shared on her social media that her second baby is an answered prayer after losing her mother and grandmother.
“An answered prayer. An addition to my family. Most people know of the heartbreaking tragedy that happened in my life. The past years being a blur at times, kodwa (but) at the end of it all, God showed me grace,” she wrote.
