Musician, television presenter and actress Anele Zondo has shared how finding out she was pregnant changed her life.
Zondo, who is also known as Ney The Bae, released her EP Vuka on Friday after confirming pregnancy rumours that were making the rounds on social media.
In her Instagram stories, Zondo said the moment she found out she was expecting, she was in shock and felt like she could not breathe.
“I knew my whole life would change, I did not know what to do. As soon as I heard my bae’bies’s heartbeat, I knew it was meant to be, this is what I am meant to do,” she wrote.
Zondo shared that two months before she found out she was pregnant, she was hell bent on having her own recording studio. She invested in the studio at her home and when she looks back, she feels she was following her intuition and gut.
Great support system
“More tears were shed everyday because my life is changing. And I also was planning on telling my team but did not know how to. My family supported me from day one. They were like you are getting into your 30s, perfect timing.”
Zondo said she felt confused because at that moment she was thinking about her career, which has always come first.
“After I had a meeting with some of my team members, they let me know they were 100% behind me in this journey. Only for them to say in a month that they gotta put my music on pause till after the pregnancy. Which left me shook because I was not disabled. At this point my mind and my creativity wants to work.”
She added that her inspiration was from a different source. And she became dedicated to the process of finding her voice.
“To two things that I’m in love with. One the biggest and best blessing that takes human form, a legacy a lifeline. I’m so grateful. My music, I’ve put my my entire existence, energy and being into my VUKA EP and in my music. It’s not just about the words but the feeling of awakening,” she wrote.
