Cape Town – South African businesswoman and socialite Shauwn Mkhize has denied the rumours that she doesn’t get along with the mother of her grandchildren, Sithelo Shozi.
This comes after her son, Andile Mpisane, proposed and got married to model, Tamia Louw last week, a move that left many of his fans confused as they thought he was going to pop the question to Shozi, with whom he has two children.
According to The Citizen, Andile and Sithelo recently welcomed their second baby together – a girl named Likuwe “Coco” Mpisane. Their older daughter, Flo, turned 1 in May and she was named after Andile’s grandmother, political icon Florence Mkhize.
“I personally have no grudges or any untoward feelings against the mother of my grandkids. She’s given me 2 beautiful grandchildren which binds us forever and I will always consider her to be like a daughter to me. Nobody has been kicked out of any apartment nor have any kids been taken away from anybody. I remain committed to ensuring that my grandchildren grow up experiencing love from all sides and that they are well taken care of,” wrote Mamkhize in an Instagram post.

She continued: “As a mother it is my job to guide and support my son’s decisions. And I would like it to be known that I will never choose for him. I’ve lived my life and learnt my lessons! I will never take away the opportunity for him to live his own life and learn his lessons along the way. I accepted the mother of my grandchildren with all her flaws, whilst the whole world was blaming me but because I fully understand that nobody is perfect. Out of respect for all parties involved, I will not be going into the details of their private affairs. They have both moved on with their lives and will continue co-parenting for the sake of the children.”
