LaConco: From Shack to Stardom

Reality television star and presenter Nonkanyiso “LaConco” Conco recently shared intimate details about her life journey, love story, and personal choices. Let’s delve into her remarkable experiences:

Childhood in a Shack

LaConco revealed that she was raised in a squatter camp near Palm Ridge in Johannesburg. Despite living in a shack, she emphasized that her home was remarkably clean, and her mother cooked every meal with love. As a child, she saw nothing negative about her living conditions. Her mother’s resilience as a single parent, hustling to provide for them, left a lasting impression on LaConco.

Advocating for Virginity

In 2015, LaConco received an invitation to participate in a march in Pietermaritzburg. The purpose of the march was to voice support for women who choose to remain virgins and to oppose coercion or mistreatment. At the time, LaConco had already purchased her first car and was working as a journalist in Durban. Her commitment to her values and principles remained unwavering.

Love and Loyalty

LaConco’s love story with former South African President Jacob Zuma began in 2016. They lived in a bubble, and others could sense their connection. Despite the challenges of their relationship, including limited time together due to Zuma’s busy schedule, LaConco remained loyal to her values. She described this period as a test of her commitment.

Lobola and Engagement

After paying lobola (a traditional dowry), Zuma gave LaConco an engagement ring. Their love was evident, even behind closed doors. LaConco emphasized that her choice to remain a virgin was personal, and she never felt pressured. When the time was right, they welcomed their son, Sakhaumuzi, into the world.

Unexpected Parenthood

Although LaConco and Zuma later separated, she openly discussed being the sole parent for her son. Her journey from a shack to stardom reflects resilience, love, and personal strength.
