Haibo! Uzalo actress MaMlambo & Cassper Nyovest reveal why they will never let people see their children’s faces. See why
While she’s away from the show Gugu has been on a long sabbatical, Gugu has been staying connected with fans through social media, keeping them updated on her activities. However, one aspect of her life that she has chosen to keep private is her daughter.
Gugu Gumede recently revealed the reason behind hiding her daughter’s face on social media. Although she frequently shares pictures of her daughter, she takes care to capture angles that conceal the child’s face from the camera. When asked about this by fans, Gugu explained that her daughter is still too young to have her face displayed on social media.
In Southern African traditions, it is common not to show a child’s face to strangers until they reach a certain age, usually between three to six months. This practice stems from the belief that a child can be easily bewitched at a particular age. Gugu respects this tradition and feels that her daughter is too young to be exposed to public scrutiny.The decision to keep her daughter’s face hidden is also influenced by concerns about negative energy and potential harm.
South African rapper Cassper Nyovest has expressed similar sentiments regarding his own son, Khotso, and has chosen to keep his son’s face off social media due to the presence of people who may have malicious intentions.
“I don’t think I’m going to post my child anytime soon. As much as we have fans here, this place has real-life witches who prey on people’s energies here. Be very careful,” Cassper was quoted saying on social media
