Minnie Dlamini-Jones found herself addressing pregnancy rumours again after posting a picture of herself in a liquid gold Johan Coetzee gown at the Sun Met in Cape Town last month. The dress divided her followers, with some saying they did not like the dress, while others said she looked pregnant in it.

Though she could not respond to the criticism of her dress, Minnie addressed the pregnancy rumours, saying those who kept speculating were being insensitive.
“Business is going well… Let’s trust in God’s timing for the arrival of my offspring. We also need to be cognizant of how insensitive it is to speculate about pregnancy. You don’t know my journey or what I’ve been through or go through. Let’s just think before we tweet please… and I know most of you mean well,” said Minnie.

Her followers apologised for the pregnancy speculations and promised to refrain from doing it in future.
“I’m sorry sis, I’m one of those people always speculating when I see what looks like a baby bump, I guess I just can’t wait but you’re right, we really have no idea what goes on in your life, besides it’s a personal journey,” said @bubu_pearl, while @Cii_Qwiba said: “Your fans are just excited sis, I don’t think they meant anything bad. I’m glad you’re happy and well. It’s also good that you addressed these pregnancy rumours. We’ll try and be more sensitive. Love and light to you.”
This was not the first time Minnie had to address pregnancy rumours. A few months after her wedding she posted pictures of herself on the set of Homeground, wearing a body-tight red number, and while most of her followers said she looked gorgeous in it, some asked if she was pregnant.
