Actress, presenter, and musician Anele ‘NEY THE BAE’ Zondo recently announced that she is expecting a baby after releasing her EP VUKA.
According to the news publication, IOL, the Ingwe hitmaker described her upcoming single as a way of her digging deep within her Zulu roots and merging it with her love for the hip-hop genre.
She also added that her single Vuka (which translates to wake up or awakening) isn’t the only project dropping this year.
The musician and mother-to-be also spoke to entertainment publication, ZiMoja, about her journey into motherhood by saying that it’s something she has always dreamed of but didn’t want to rush the process.
She said, “The pregnancy is teaching me what is possible when we allow nature to take its course. I’m both nervous and excited. I can’t wait for my audience and fans to ride with me,” adding, “Striking a balance between my biological clock and my expanding career has always been something I felt conflicted about. As women it is always put to us to choose between either – to focus on being a mother or career. We are questioned when we consciously choose both.”
Anele took to her Instagram to share the news with her fans and industry friends with the caption, “Giving life to two things that I’m in love with. One of the biggest and best blessing that takes human form – a legacy a lifeline. I’m so grateful for my music – I’ve put my my entire existence, energy and being into my VUKA EP & in my music – it’s not just about the words but the FEELING of awakening.”
