Palesa Madisakwane Says Raising Bahumi With Somizi Often Comes With Bad Publicity

TV personality and businesswoman Palesa Madisakwane recently opened up about the challenges that she faces with raising her daughter Bahumi whom she shares with celebrity choreographer, singer, actor and television personality Somizi Mhlongo.

In an interview with Move! Magazine, Palesa revealed that while she and Somizi try their best to give their daughter, Bahumi, a normal life, it’s almost impossible to turn a blind eye to the negative publicity they’re often subjected to.

“Somizi and I were young when we fell pregnant and had our daughter. We were in each other’s lives but had no plans for the future,” she told the local publication.

“Now that Bahumi is an adult and most people know who her parents are, we never once thought of hiding it from the media. People will always talk and sometimes be convinced that they know you, but they actually don’t.”

“When it comes to raising Bahumi, we try our best to give her a normal life, even though it’s hard to avoid bad publicity.”
