Zanele, who claims to be impregnated by Smanga, was accompanied by her family. However, Smanga’s family was not as welcoming.
One of his relatives mentioned they would need a paternity test after the birth of the child. His guardian revealed she did not think she could afford to feed an extra mouth. She was already taking care of 17 people.

17 kids? Yoh guys, think about your siblings too when you have kids. #TeenagePregnancy

I hate Smaanga’s mom and sister. This is what we mean when we say that 9/10 it’s mostly family members that enable deadbeats 😕#TeenagePregnancy

Stop telling people that it is okay to have children they cannot afford because "We were also raised in poverty and we turned out fine". You're not fine. You're adults who are still recovering from your childhoods. #TeenagePregnancy
