Actor Given Stuurman, who plays Kgosi in popular e.tv soapie Scandal!, is set to become a dad for the first time. 

The actor shared the news on Instagram, with a picture of his heavily pregnant girlfriend and a sonogram.

The proud daddy-to-be captioned the post “The best thing God has given me is a chance to be a father. I’ll forever be grateful.”

Given is not the first celeb to recently announce he is expecting. Actresses Zola Nombona and Omuhle Gela, as well as singer Cici, are among other stars who announced they were expecting this year.

On February 14, Zola shared the news of her pregnancy, saying “Here is my love flourishing. My world has changed and created.

“Your voice will be like the song I've longed for, and no musician in the world could ever compose. Your eyes will take away the fog that has been shutting down mine. Your smile will wipe away every tear. Your hand will sustain me forever. You gave me the strength I never knew I had.”

Cici made reference to God doing something humans said was impossible for her.

Where science deems it impossible, God always reminds (us) why he is God.”
