Mohale Motaung and Somizi’s Co-Parenting Update: Bahumi’s Health Addressed
Madisakwane spoke candidly about the difficulties of raising a child with health needs while in the public eye: “She’s been dealing with this since childhood – some days are painful, others she pushes through with incredible strength.” The post emphasized Bahumi’s resilience while acknowledging the added challenges of growing up as the daughter of media personality Somizi Mhlongo.
The discussion also touched on family dynamics, with Madisakwane suggesting there had been past tensions regarding Bahumi’s wellbeing during Somizi’s marriage to Mohale Motaung. While not detailing specific incidents, she expressed relief at finally sharing their truth after years of privacy.
The revelation has sparked widespread support online, with #PrayForBahumi trending as fans and celebrities alike sent messages of encouragement. Many praised Madisakwane for her protective motherhood while respecting Bahumi’s privacy until now.

Medical professionals have since used the opportunity to raise awareness about lymphedema, explaining it as a manageable though incurable condition affecting the lymphatic system. Patient advocates note such visibility helps reduce stigma for others living with chronic illnesses.
Neither Somizi nor Mohale have publicly commented on the recent disclosures. Family representatives indicate the focus remains on Bahumi’s wellbeing and maintaining her normal routine amid increased public attention.
