The age difference between Wakhile and Zakes Bantwini
Musician Zakes Bantwini, now married to Nandi Madida, impregnated a girl when he was 13, and the child was born when he was 14. Talking to Phat Joe’s on Radio 2000, Zakes said:
Yes, I impregnated a girl when l was 13 years old. I didn’t believe it; my mom couldn’t believe it; no, none believed it. I still don’t believe it.
Zakes also talked about how being a teen dad affected his academics. He almost dropped out of school, but his mother encouraged him to continue his studies. To be a trophy son, he studied hard at school, and he has two Degrees as a testament to his hard work. However, his relationship with the mother of his first son did not work out, and they parted ways. Although their relationship couldn’t work, Zakes did not abandon his son. The musician understood the co-parenting concept and loved his son unconditionally.
The Clap Your Hands hitmaker took to his Instagram to share pictures of Wakhiwe, his son, as he was celebrating his 28th birthday. To complement the image of his son Zakes wrote an overwhelming caption.

It’s hard to believe you’re becoming an adult. Especially since you still look like my little boy! Happy birthday, son @wa_madida; I love you so much.
His wife Nandi Madida and other A-list celebrities came to his post and wished Wakhiwe a happy birthday.
