A physically disabled Zimbabwean woman, Sinikiwe Kademaunga has announced that she is expecting her first child with her partner.
Kademaunga, 26, who was born without hands, knees and feet, took to Instagram to share photos of her burgeoning baby bump.
“Hey guys. I cant believe i am going to be a whole mom, a whole mom guys. How great is God. 2020 was such a difficult year but God gave me a comforter, a blessing, a bestfriend and my pride. I know this child is going to be nothing but a blessing to us (dad and I) and generations to come. I cant wait to hold, kiss, touch, feel, smell you. I am so grateful. Now i can post my full body pics in peace.” she wrote.
Kademaunga, who is currently making waves as a motivational speaker, said life was not easy for her while growing up.
“When I was born it was very hard for my family to accept that I was born with a disability because at that time when a child was born with a disability, it was considered to be a curse from God,” she said.
Kademauga manages to do her own and others’ makeup and hair without hands using just her arms, which end at the elbow. She said once she decided to love, accept and be kind to herself the rest followed.
“I want to say to all people living with disabilities believe in yourself. You are magic. You are exceptional and wonderful with whatever disability that you have. You are just beautiful in your own way. Believe in yourself, don’t let the world define you, or tear you down. Whatever dream that you have, somebody out there needs you, go out there fly high.” she said.
Kademaunga, who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from University of Cape Town, in 2019, launched her company SK, that specialises in motivational speaking and personal development.
Kademaunga said she understands reasons that drive people living with disabilities onto the streets to beg for alms.
“For us people living with disability, it is hard out there to compete with able bodied people. Looking for jobs and other opportunities. But I want to say to those people (living with disabilities), keep on working hard, it’s not the end of the world because you are living with disability and never look down upon yourself.”
Kademaunga, who calls herself “The Confidence Coach” said she has no regrets in life.
“Everything that has happened in my life, I take it as a learning opportunity. I take it as a learning curve that has led me to be the person I am now,” she said.
In 2016, she received recognition for her courage to confront her disability at Zimbabwe’s International Women’s Awards.

David has proven he likes kpekus no 2 ways…See eehn, you all know the gist about the whole Sophie, Chioma and Davido right. Even Chi was sidechic when David and Sophie were together.. She only moved in after the whole drama abt Sophie’s pregnancy so Sophie moved out and Chi took over as main chic which is their business.
So with all that, Chi was all cool. But soon after Ifeanyi was born, from legit source.. Chi started having issues when David wants to go see Imade. It wasn’t really about Imade but the whole thing about David going to see Imade where she lives with her mom, Sophie.
That thing really stressed David. Like I have lie to go and see my own daughter cuz my woman feels my baby mama could have me again and all that mambo jambo.

More shocking details have emerged following the arrest of 26-year-old Precious Teya who reportedly had sex with a 13-year-old boy.
Precious Teya from Chitungwiza who appeared in court on Friday February 26 was charged with aggravated indecent assault as women can’t be charged with rape in Zimbabwe.
The court heard how the 13-year-old boy from Houghton Park in Harare met the lady at an adult dating site. The boy who is a Form 2 pupil at Watershed High School started chatting Teya on WhatsApp where he inquired about the services she offered.
According to H-Metro, Teya has the followings services and prices “NURUV – US$15, FETISH – US$30, FULL HOUSE – US$40 and SEX -US$20.”
After they agreed to meet and have sex the next day at the boy’s family house in Houghton Park, the 13-year-old asked her to bring sleeping tablets which he planned using to drug his siblings to avoid any disturbance during their time together.
Teya who agreed to the proposal showed up in a taxi the next day and asked the minor to pay the driver US$20, which he did. The minor thereafter developed cold feet and asked her to cancel the appointment, but she reportedly refused to leave and pushed her way into the house.
The minor caved in and asked for the sleeping tablets which he then used to drug his siblings to ensure that they would not be disturbed when having sex. The two then proceeded to have protected sex.
However after they had sex, Teya tried exploiting the boy by demanding for US$120 and not the previously agreed on US$20. The 13-year-old who did not have the money, approached his neighbour looking for a short term loan.
The neighbour who was stunned with the demand, asked the boy what he needed the money for and he explained his predicament. The neighbour immediately notified the minor’s grandmother who reported the matter to the authorities leading to the arrest of Teya.
It was further learnt that Zimbabwean prostitutes employ change in price as a tool to exploit their cients. They usually do this when they know their client will be too embarrassed to fight back as this would attract public attention.
Following the testimony in court, Harare provincial magistrate Vongai Guwuriro remanded her in custody till April 21 and advised her to apply for bail at the High Court.
Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has reacted after NCPC denied her claims that she was appointed as an ambassador for peace building for the commission.
The actress had taken to Instagram to announce the news of her appointment. She wrote in part “I AM NOW A PROUD NIGERIA CHRISTIAN PILGRIM COMMISSION(NCPC) AMBASSADOR FOR PEACE BUILDING••”.
She also called for people’s prayers as she embarks on peace building across the six (6) geopolitical Zones of the Nation because peace is indispensable. Read here.
Shortly after her announcement, the NCPC dismissed her claims as false in an official statement.
The press statement reads:
“The Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission NCPC wishes to state in categorical terms that King Tonto Dikeh paid an official courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission Rev Yakubu Pam on 25th February, 2021 at the corporate headquarters of the Commission in Abuja.
“As the founder of Tonto Dikeh Foundation, she expressed her willingness and interest in partnering with the Commission in the area of peace building.
“She equally cashed in on the visit to commend the NCPC boss for his positive and relentless peace initiatives across the country.
“However, we are suddenly inundated with claims from King Tonto Dikeh herself that she has been officially appointed as Ambassador of peace by this great Commission. This claim has gone viral in the media.
“The Commission frowns at this claim which is a clear misrepresentation of what transpired.
“The fact remains that the Executive Secretary of NCPC never appointed King Tonto Dikeh an Ambassador of Peace for NCPC and this was not part of her visit therefore this claim by her is spurious, unfounded and should be discarded and seen by all Nigerians as a figment of her imagination.
“Nevertheless, we appreciate her desire to partner with us in our peace building initiatives and in the area of pilgrimage sponsorship to the Holy Land.”
Reacting to the commission’s statement via an Instagram post, Tonto Dikeh insisted she didn’t lie about the appointment. She added that she has video proofs to back her claims but she will rather respect the Commission’s decision and take the fall.
