A Heartfelt Announcement
Former Miss South Africa, Ntandoyenkosi Kunene-Radzuma, has captured Mzansi’s heart once again — this time not with a crown, but with a new chapter of motherhood. The 2016 Miss SA winner took to Instagram on 11 November 2025 to announce that she and her husband have welcomed their first child together.
The news came with a series of breathtaking photos from her pregnancy shoot, where Ntando, dressed in a flowing orange gown designed by Sherif Tailor, radiated calm and joy. She captioned the post, “To a season that was, and a blessing now in our arms 🧡.”
While she didn’t reveal the baby’s gender, her message spoke volumes about gratitude and new beginnings — a sentiment that resonated deeply with her followers.
A Journey Of Love And Renewal
Ntando’s journey to this moment has been one of transformation. After her marriage to gospel musician Khaya Mthethwa ended, she focused on rebuilding her life and career while raising their son, Oyinkosi. Earlier this year, she remarried in a beautiful ceremony that many South Africans followed closely online.
Reports suggest Ntando was already expecting during her wedding — a detail she kept private until now. Her announcement marks a full-circle moment for the former beauty queen, symbolizing healing, faith, and the joy of starting anew.
Celebrities And Fans Share In Her Joy
The comments section of Ntando’s post became a space of love and celebration. Celebrities such as Ayanda Thabethe, Zizo Beda, Simz Ngema, and Ntando Duma flooded her page with congratulatory messages.
TV host Zizo Tshwete wrote, “To our loving Father who gives beautiful new beginnings — we give Him glory! So happy for you and your family.”
Another follower, tishkubs_, shared a message that perfectly captured the public sentiment: “You impact us women by just being you. I wanted this kind of joy for you because you are so kind, warm and innately loving. We rejoice with you.”
The outpouring of warmth reflects how Ntando has remained a beloved figure in South Africa — admired not only for her beauty but for her grace, humility, and authenticity.
A Symbol Of Modern Motherhood
For many South Africans, Ntando represents the modern woman who gracefully balances family, faith, and personal growth. Her story mirrors that of countless women navigating second chances, blended families, and public scrutiny — yet finding peace and purpose through it all.
As one commenter noted, “If integrity were a person, it would look exactly like this.”
From her pageant days to this new chapter of motherhood, Ntandoyenkosi Kunene-Radzuma continues to embody what it means to reign with dignity — not from a stage, but from the heart.
