Mafikizolo’s Theo Kgosinkwe and his wife Vorne Kgosinkwe welcomes their first child Oratilwe Alexis-sky in January.

As part of Setswana custom, the couple have up until now refrained from showing their baby’s face on social media.

“We’d always pray, and I’d tell God how this baby must look because Theo taught me I should be very specific when I pray,” she says.

Oratilwe Alexis-Sky has her mom’s nose and curly hair. But “she has her dad’s head because mine’s a bit bigger’ Vourne´ said.

Theo said, “I wanted her to look like her mom because she’s just beautiful,” .

When they found out Vourne´ was expecting, the couple couldn’t agree on a name. At first Theo wanted to name her Zendaya, after the American actress. He chose Oratilwe (which means she is loved) as a nod to his Setswana roots but Vourne´ calls her Sky.

“I always said my child’s name would be Sky because at school there was this little girl in our class who was just perfect, and her name was Skyler. I added Alexis, but I call her Sky,” she says.

“Everyone can call her Sky, but Daddy will call her Oratilwe,” Theo says.

“I want my daughter to know where she comes from and who she is. She’ll always have that background of a Tswana even if she has a sharp nose and curly hair.”
