Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan is celebrating her eldest son, Pinto Tlale’s 21st birthday.
Taking to her Instagram, the mother of five penned a hearty message to her son noting that she has no regrets looking back 21 years later.
The South African-based socialite advised young women about the men they might be involved with, noting that these men might be encouraging several women to terminate pregnancies.
She warned that such choices could affect their future ability to have children when they are ready to settle down.
Instead, Zari advised them to either use protection or choose to keep the baby.
“Girls, that man you’re busy aborting babies for has 5 other girls doing the same,” Zari wrote candidly. “In the future, you’ll want to settle down and have kids, and it won’t be possible. Condomise or give birth to your child… Here we are 21 years later,” Zari stated.
Expressing her love for Pinto, Zari expressed her deep appreciation for their journey together.
“They always say the 1st born is that one person who has been through it all with you, I agree. Alhamdulillah, I’m grateful.”
