Freshlyground’s Zolani Mahola is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her second child as the singer looks ready to pop any minute from now.
Mahola, who announced last year that she was due in February, took to Instagram to share a snapshot of her humongous bare baby bump.
“Coming soon: a baby! Goodness gracious!! You are so welcome little thing. World awaits your imminent arrival,” Mahola captioned on Instagram.
“40 weeks and 20 kilograms later, one mama one bunny and one cotton blanket sit it out on the floor. Awaiting the new bundle.”
Mahola and her husband are already the proud mom of a two-year-old boy.
