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.

Gogo Maweni's trial postponed until birth of her twins
She hasn't had the opportunity to fully embrace her pregnancy, as she is currently entangled in an ongoing court battle regarding allegations of harming another woman. The assault trial against controversial Sangoma Makgotso 'Gogo Maweni' Mofokeng has once again been postponed and will return once she has given birth to her twins. Gogo Maweni faces an assault charge with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm for an incident dating back to 2019 reported by Celiwe Khulu the sister of one of her baby daddies. She appeared briefly at the Protea Glen Magistrates court, where she was set to continue with her trial. Her defense Advocate Riaan Gissig told Magistrate Genevieve Tyrell that his client is having a difficult pregnancy and was admitted in hospital from the 1st to the 4th of June and therefore should be medically excused. Gissing added that during consultation on the 10th of June Gogo Maweni experienced severe cramping which led to an urgent doctor's visit. 'The doctor has since given strict orders that she be on bed rest until further notice. Your worship let me remind the court that my client is heavily pregnant with twins and is constantly in and out of hospital because she is having a complicated pregnancy,' said Gissing. He then asked the court to postpone the matter to a later date when gogo Maweni has given birth. 'Your worship my client is set to deliver her twins in July, I therefore ask the court to grant us permission to return on the 15th of October when the newborns will be two months.' Magistrate Tyrell granted the order and allowed the three months postponement, reminding gogo Maweni that her bail is extended and her conditions still stand. The four witnesses including the complainant were warned to return to court on the 15th of October.
