Malema welcomes his baby Munzhedzi

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.

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.
