Manaka Ranaka ‘Stole’ Her Baby Daddy From Her Friend?
Well well well, what are the odds? It seems as though the Twitter detectives have done it again. Generations: The Legacy actress Manaka Ranaka who plays the feisty Lucy Diale has been accused of stealing her friend’s then-boyfriend and they even have a newborn baby together. She even gave the most hilarious response. Could it mean an admission of guilt?

This revelation shook the internet and there are even receipts. First off, a tweep dug up an Instagram post from her baby daddy Ntuthuko Mdlethse’s old Instagram page where he is posing next to his girlfriend. Under the picture which was posted four years ago in 2017, Manaka commented with “my favourite couple,” suggesting that they are, or should we say “were”, friends.

Fast forward 4 years later, Manaka and the man who was supposedly married to her friend, have welcomed a bouncing baby boy together last year December 15.

When the tweet blew up, Manaka deleted her 2017 comment and replaced it with a new one. Many people have flooded the comments section of the very old picture, accusing the actress of being a homewrecker.

Her comment as well has us in stitches, “Bafikile ondabeni bathi I’m a home wrecker (gossipmongers have arrived they are saying I am a home wrecker), Ai let me go breastfeed.” She also further commented by saying, “It’s the #letsrewind for me,” she said throwing shade at the picture in question as well as the whole craze.

Manaka has two daughters from her previous relationship so when she welcomed a baby boy she said it felt the same way, “It’s the same feeling I felt when I had my two daughters, so this experience is nothing new. People have been saying they hope I’m carrying a boy, but we’ll see. I look forward to giving birth to a child. I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s not an animal,ā€ she told Daily Sun.

ā€œBoys and girls are equally important and have different functions in society. ā€œI don’t believe that boys are necessarily better. According to society and culture norms, they’re carriers of legacies. Girls also bring kids into this world,ā€ she added.

The dating pool is indeed small in ZAlebville. Other celebs who have dated equally famous people include, Euphonik, Bonang and Slikour. DJ Zinhle, AKAĀ  and Bonang. Minnie Dlamini, Itumeleng Khune and Sbahle Mpisane. The list goes on.
