Reality star Gogo Maweni and her husband, Sabelo Mgube, have publicly shared that they have welcomed their twins.
Congratulations have poured in for the celebrity couple, whose journey to parenthood has been documented on their reality show.
Real name Makhotso Le-Ann Mofokeng, she made a joint Instagram post with her husband, sharing a carousel of images that showed the new arrivals.
"10 days ago, our love as well as our bond got a whole lot stronger," shared the happy parents.
The couple's post was filled with congratulatory messages from celebrities and their fans.
Last year, she opened up about using IVF to conceive children within her marriage. Speaking with DJ Sbu on The Hustlers Corner, shared that they were having twins.
'We work so hard, and the reason we work so hard is to be able to afford certain things. There's IVF. You go and they take out your egg for the first month, then they take out your egg the second month, then they put it back. I went to a gynaecologist and asked to be referred for IVF and we're here now,' she said.
The 'Izangoma Zodumo' reality TV star and her husband last year, celebrated their love with a traditional wedding at his homestead in Maqongqo, outside Pietermaritzburg.
The arrival of the twins is good news for the couple. Gogo Maweni had a bumpy start to the year thanks to a run-in with the law.
Maweni spent more than a week behind bars on charges, including alleged assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) from an incident dating back to 2019. She was later released on R5000 bail.

AI-generated influencers are here and they look real — are we falling for it?
She's got icy blue eyes, flawless skin and a fashion feed that would make any influencer jealous. But Mia Zelu, the Instagram star who recently 'attended' Wimbledon, isn't real. She's an AI-generated character with 169,000 followers and counting. Zelu sent social media into a spin after she shared courtside snaps at Wimbledon asking fans: 'Which Wimbledon match was your fave?' The post racked up more than 16,000 likes and 500 comments with many swooning over her 'natural beauty'. The catch? Mia Zelu is 100% artificial, designed to look human, act relatable, and rack up influence. The virtual influencer was introduced to the world in March 2025 by her 'sister' Ana Zelu, another AI-generated persona who has been active since early 2024. Ana captioned their first joint photo: '[Mia] finally decided to open up her Instagram, so show her some love!' Mia's debut solo post followed a day later with a cosy picture of her in a hoodie with a kitten on her lap and the caption: 'I believe coffee tastes better in cute cafés, and I live for cosy hoodies and deep conversations.'

I AM ME Summit calls South Africa to embrace true inclusion
The Marriot Hotel in Melrose Arch became a sanctuary of transformation as the I AM ME Summit unfolded on July 29 and 30. Organised by Modern Centric, the two-day gathering wasn't just an event; it was a deliberate, soul-stirring call for South Africa to reimagine what real inclusion looks and feels like. With a theme rooted in disruption and dignity, the summit brought together young voices, thought leaders, and changemakers, all committed to building a society where authenticity is not only welcomed, but sacred. It was a space that asked hard questions, honoured vulnerability, and created room for every identity, especially those long pushed to the margins. Also read: Reinstatement coming for corner of Louis Botha Avenue and Corlett Drive From mental health to global LGBTQI+ rights, intersectional justice to community healing, the summit tackled the layered realities of inequality. It didn't shy away from pain or past failures, but instead, used them as fuel to imagine a better, braver future. In a world often quick to judge or silence, I AM ME was a reminder that real change begins when we choose to listen, to care, and to show up, not just as allies, but as co-conspirators in the fight for justice.
