WHEN she revealed her baby bump for the first time on social media last month, her fans and followers were so delighted that her account was flooded with congratulatory messages for weeks.

But she has another surprise lined up – she already gave birth to twins weeks ago.

Skeem Saam’s Makgofe Moagi, who plays Charity Ramabu, is good at keeping secrets because she was taught not to “run her mouth” as it might delay her blessings.

Now that her bundles of joy have arrived, she’s ready to tell the world.

She hasn’t been a regular feature on the SABC 1 drama series for months now, but it was only because she was pregnant. “Yes, I am now a mother of four,” she proudly tells Move!. She had twins - a boy, Caydena and a girl, Gabriella. “I already call her Beyoncé, she is the only girl in the house,” she laughs.

THE SECRECY

She might be on social media, but she says she is very careful about what she lets her followers in on. This is a rule she was raised to live by.

“When you want to show the world something, show them the finished product. Sometimes talking too much about your personal life to people delays your breakthrough. Don’t run your mouth, let God do what He needs to do,” Makgofe says. This is why she never talks about her partner too – she’s fiercely protective of her privacy.

Another reason was that during her pregnancy, she was put on bed rest and she wasn’t about to push herself too hard or stress too much.

THE PREGNANCY

Her pregnancy was a pleasant surprise, especially conceiving twins at the age of 39.
