Rising musician Joshua Baraka has been dating media personality Etania for almost three years now.
Baraka, however, says the two are not ready to have children yet. They are still taking their time understanding each other and sharing their love.
Baraka explained that children don't define a person and believes it's a responsibility one must take on only when they are ready for it.
"Not at all at this time; I am not planning for that at the moment. Children don't define you, and I think it's a responsibility you should have when you are ready," he explained in an interview with a local television station.
In African culture, having children is a significant aspect of a man's life and is often tied to his identity, status, and legacy. It also ensures the continuation of one's lineage and family name.
