At the beginning of the month, we shared an inside look at Masechaba Ndlovu’s baby shower. Fast forward three weeks later and we’re sharing the happy news of a newborn son.
Lukhanyo Lezizwe was born two weeks ago and this is the first public mention of her son’s birth.
Ndlovu happily shared intimate details of the family dynamic since the arrival of Lukhanyo.
Nothing is more rewarding to her than watching the “daddy” of her son and Lukhanyo share some quality father-son time in the evenings.
The media personality quotes Steve Harvey who says, “There are fathers and there are daddys.”
Anyone can be a father; but you have a daddy. With the exception of the nurse who gave you your first bath at the hospital while your daddy proudly observed, your dad is the only person who has bathed you since you were born. It’s become your daddy-baby bonding time in the evenings. It gives me so much joy to just relax and watch him render such a powerful act of service to you. I’m in awe every single day.

Ndlovu also openly talks about the struggle many mothers share while trying to breastfeed for the first time.
Before you were born, I knew that I was going to breastfeed you. I even dreamt about it! As ambitious as that plan initially seemed, I wanted the best for you and I was determined to make it work. The first few days were tough & we had to top up with formula. Your dad encouraged me every day & he believed in what I was trying to do, even during that initial period when my milk was not sufficient for you. Your dad never stopped believing & instead encouraged & even assisted me to latch you on my breast before your bottle feeds. With each passing day, the top ups became less frequent & smaller in quantity and eventually we abandoned the formula altogether

She closes the letter by saying that it is said that a man’s very first love is his mother. With that said she named this open letter a love letter to her son, Lukhanyo.
Lukhanyo is just two weeks old and he already has an Instagram page and a Facebook page. Both are private.
