The celebration was pulled together by Anika’s mother, Elisma du Toit, and a close friend, which was no small feat given that Anika is typically the one running the show. She laughed it off, saying:

“I’m too much of a producer, and Arnold knows better than to try to surprise me.”
The most poignant moment of the day came before the festivities even began. Family friend Gerdi van den Berg placed her hand on Anika’s bump and led a prayer for the baby and the family. Anika felt her son stir during those quiet words.
“While she was praying, I could feel our little boy moving. It was such a special moment – almost as if he knew the day was about him. It’s something I will never forget,” she said.
The little one was spoiled on the day, with guests arriving bearing gifts that included clothing, a playmat, a pump and a sketch of his parents.
A nursery steeped in family history
With the baby’s arrival just weeks away, preparations at home are nearly complete. Anika revealed that one piece of nursery furniture carries generations of sentimental value.
“Our baby bed is actually very special to me. It’s going to be used by the third generation now. First it was my mother’s bed, then my brother, Déan, and I slept in it, and now it’s our little boy’s turn,” she shared.
The couple are also cherishing the small, everyday moments before his arrival. Anika noted that while her son initially went quiet whenever The Mummyactorrested his hand on her stomach, he has since warmed up to his father’s touch and voice. His name, however, remains the couple’s best-kept secret for now.
