Redi Tlhabi Claps Back After A Joke Was Made About Those Having Children At a Later Stage in Life. Although having children is a personal matter, people still have opinions. When a woman has children at a very young age she gets judged by the community, when she waits for a certain age, she still get judged. When you have many children, people talk, and still when you choose to not have kids, you become the talk of town. So in this issue, you can never win, the best thing to have peace, is to do you.

Despite the backlash, there are people who, for various reasons, have had children at a later stage in her life. One of those is Redi Tlhabi. In May 2021, the journalist, author and media personality took to Twitter where she opened up about her fertility journey. Redi talked about going through miscarriages, but still having hope that one day she will carry her own children. The great news is that she is now a mother of two children, Khumo and Neo Tlhabi and a second mother to the children that her husband has with his first wife, being Ofentse and Lesego Tlhabi.

As someone who had children when she was over 30, Redi took on one tweep, who judged those having children while they are old. The tweep mocked them saying they will be attending parents meetings in their 50s. Redi wasn’t impressed by the tweet, and stated that she is one of those parents, and she prioritized on her career and goals, before bringing a child into this world.

“I am that parent shem. I had kids at 35 & 38. I spent my 20s studying, working 3 jobs, (radio, tv & print). I traveled! Then I learnt about the stock market & directed my income towards a healthy investment portfolio. Now I work when I want. My kids see me! Don’t be stupid babe,” Redi said.
