Let's face it, not everyone of us will get married or have kids, either by choice or by consequence. And this is true for our South African celebrities as well, who either just don't want kids, never had the chance to, or can't have them. So, we'll go through 10 South African celebrities who either don't want kids or, for some reason, couldn't have them explain each one and their reasons. Some may shock you because you probably believed they had children because of their TV roles. So, watch till the end, and don't forget to subscribe to our KZfaq channel for more content like this. Thank you for tuning in.
1. Celeste Ntuli
It may surprise some fans to find Celeste on our list of South African celebrities who don't want children. But Celeste turns out to be one of the people on the corner who is open-minded about the pressures of having kids and getting married in society. In an interview with SNL, she revealed that such pressures can lead people into decisions they're either not ready for or meant for, saying that not all people are meant to have kids.
These are sound reasons. Seeing how many people have kids and become terrible parents, it is important for people to think it through. Celeste herself has no children and doesn't mind staying that way unless she meets someone who satisfies her standards, according to her. Furthermore, she has blamed men for being unwilling to date financially independent women like herself because its hard because they have zero control.
So, it looks like until Celeste meets a man who meets her standards, she will probably never get married or have children, and to be honest, she honestly doesn't seem to care at all.
2. Zolisa Xaluva
I mean, this is the only man on this list, so there's got to be a story, right? Well, not really, but it seems like Xaluva either doesn't want kids or just hasn't met one. Xaluva talked about being lonely at his mansion with no one to permanently share all that wealth with. But recently, someone almost headlocked him into a life commitment by claiming she was pregnant with Xaluva's baby.
However, after DNA tests, it was proven that the baby wasn't his. This left fans speculating on millions of things, from the idea that Xaluva had a vasectomy to saying that he simply fires blanks. Whether its intentional or not, it honestly doesn't seem like Zolisa is having any children anytime soon. But if it is in his will and capacity, we do hope to see little Xaluvas in the future.
3. Tebogo Khalo
For those of you who know Kgalo, you are probably aware that she played the role of the troubled Puleng from Rhythm City, who had a child with Suffocate Ndlovu. And most really believed she had a baby and a family in real life, but life doesn't deal the obvious cards. Because it turns out that Kgalo has no desire whatsoever to have kids. She would rather live her best life with her partner, doing whatever makes them happy.
Kgalo shocked the world when they found out because they were used to seeing her in a motherly, family-oriented light. While its unclear if it was by choice or consequence, Kgalo seems to have made the decision too early in her life. This is because she has adopted children from her family, like nephews and nieces, and raised them like her own, according to reports and interviews.
But she said she would have no time for her own biological children. Some believe she may have undergone an irreversible procedure, hindering her from having kids too early in her life. This is why always leaving the door open for such big decisions is important; you can always change your mind.
4. Chichi Letswalo
Okay, this one, unlike the two before, isn't confused or confusing about her stance on kids; she simply doesn't want them. While she loves kids, she doesn't want kids of her own, saying that not everyone wants kids. According to Letswalo, one doesn't necessarily need to have kids or be married to be a professional. And she has made a promise to herself to not have kids, saying it was a personal choice and a promise. Furthermore, according to Letswalo, she was discouraged by seeing how hard having kids was on her close friends and family. This dissuaded her from looking at a kid and wishing it was hers. She has washed her hands from this, but there's always room to change your mind. So, it's always good to leave that room in advance.
