Cape Town — South African media personality, Lerato Kganyago, has revealed her struggles with fertility as she shared her desire to become a mother.
In a now-deleted Instagram story, Lerato revealed her desire to be a mother is stronger than ever before and said her mother, who retired recently, has been feeling lonely.
“My mom retired in August, but they called her back, so she’s going back to work tomorrow. Like mother, like daughter. My heart is aching. I’ll be praying at midnight. Can I borrow an infant for a week? I’ll bring it back,” she said.
“I’m my mom’s only child. I wanted her to relax and travel, but I think she got bored. She just needs a little human to keep her busy,” she added.
According to The South African, Lerato suffered a miscarriage in February 2024, marking her fifth miscarriage. She said her focus after the devastating news was the healing process.
“This was the happiest but became the most painful part of this month of love! Thank you to my supportive colleagues, my bosses, my family, and my friends. I’m strong and will never give up,’ she said after the news.
According to ZiMoja, she also revealed that she was 12 weeks pregnant when she lost her fourth child.
“I was looking forward to this pregnancy; I thought this time around that I had made it through because I had been trying so hard for a while,’ Lerato said.
