Words of congratulations flooded Malema's Instagram profile as he thanked his child's mother for the gift.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and his wife, Mantwa, have welcomed baby Munzhedzi to the world. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Malema posted a picture of himself with his wife and called “Mma Munzhedzi” (Munzhedzi’s mother). Munzhedzi is a Tshivenda name given mostly to girls, so we’re assuming that a little girl fighter has joined the army.
[Note: It has since emerged that the child is probably a boy].
Malema has a 12-year-old son, Ratanang, from a previous relationship.
Check out his post on Instagram below:
Reports of Mantwa’s pregnancy surfaced in August during the elections when she was spotted with a baby bump. When asked about the pregnancy, Malema said he was not a celebrity and it was not okay to discuss it in his Sepedi culture.
Malema married his long-time sweetheart at the end of 2014 and now it seems the couple have a bundle of joy.
