South African film director Nkosi Nathi has been left heartbroken after discovering through a DNA test that he is not the biological father of his newborn baby girl. Nkosi recounted how he joyfully embraced fatherhood nine months ago upon receiving the news of the baby’s birth, and had since devoted himself to caring for her.
However, a minor incident prompted Nkosi to conduct a DNA test, which revealed the shocking truth. The results revealed that he was not the biological father of the child he had believed to be his own.
In sharing his emotional journey, Nkosi Nathi encouraged other men to consider DNA testing, highlighting the importance of knowing the truth despite the pain it may cause. He emphasized the profound emotional trauma he is currently navigating and expressed his commitment to healing from this devastating revelation.
“Today was meant to celebrate my first Father’s Day.
I’m shattered beyond words. Nine months ago, I was introduced to the news that I would be a father. I cared for my unborn child and she became my world. I spent some time with her and it was a life-changing experience.
She was born on May 20th, a day before my birthday.
After some incidents, her mother and I agreed to do a DNA test. The results came back negative, I am NOT her father.
I’m making this post to encourage other brothers out there: take the test. It is uncomfortable but the truth is vital. With all that has happened, I still want to be a part of the better and responsible generation of men. Let’s not let situations get ahead of us. We have a lot of LIFE to live.
The support from my family has been insane. One thing about me: I know how to choose my friends.
I’m traumatized but stable, on a healing journey, and taking care of my mental health. Some really dope projects are coming up, I can’t wait to share them with you! The work does not stop, I shall continue to be…
YOUR FAVORITE DIRECTOR”
