Thank u Sedibeng Ster for this beautiful opportunity, 3 years ago I got divorced and my life was a mess never thought I’ll cope, but I thank God that my ex hubby left me with that beautiful soul on the pic which is my daughter.

She was always there for me and she made me realize that I’m a women, imbogotho and mother of the nation. I stood up and started enjoying life and embracing it. I thank God for my daughter and I’m proud to be her mom… What makes me so special is that I have been through a lot but I’m still here, living my best life and embracing it…We are Lerato and Lesedi Mosito from Zone 11 Thank u..🙏🏻

My name is Busi Motsitsi,this is my daughter Tlotliso. I had my son when I was 17yrs old, felt I disappointed my parents and waited 18yrs to have this mini me of mine. I love how smart and brave she is, we do everything together and I love how she reminds me that we need to go to church every Sunday. She makes my world a smiley place and mothering her is a pleasure!!

Good day. My name is Thabisile Pitso and my mother’s name is Baby Pitso. Growing up I’ve always struggled making friends and whenever I think I have a friend they treat me badly. My mother has always assured me that people treat me badly because I’m special and that intimidates them. It was hard believing that at first but I realized that my kindness, strength and self confidence are what makes me special.

I’d like to win because that’ll make me feel good about myself above anything else. I have failed at achieving many things in my life and what motivates me to never give up is knowing that my mother does everything for me and she loves me no matter what. Not everyone gets a mother’s love but I’m grateful for her love. She is a strong woman and that’s why I want to celebrate her in this competition. My mother is my first love, best friend and world❤️.

Entry: #SS009

I deserve to be the winner because we are beautiful.  I love my blessing which is my daughter.  I entered this competition because I am a  single parent, no one helped me with my daughter and I dropped out of  school because I was pregnant.

When I wanted to go to back they say I wasn’t allowed anymore 😭😭😭. My mom she passed away and I had no one to help me. This hardships helped me create a special bond  with my daughter, we play together, we laugh together and I love reading to her.

My name is Keke Mosia, based in Zone3, Sebokeng. I am a mother of four kids. I go all the way to hustle for my kids as a mother, and set a great example to my kids that in life even if I am a mother.

I strive to go and hustle as a woman and make things happen. I lost my parents at a very young age, but that groomed me to be a better parent to my kids, not only to my own kids, but to kids who need parental love and care out there. I juggle my life through being a mother, and being a business woman! My dream is to be celebrated one day that Black child it is indeed possible to dream and start with nothing to be something someday.

Pregnancy wasn’t a mistake for me!!a surprise yes, but I’m a young loving, responsible mother.my daughter and I inspire each other on how capable we are of becoming exactly who we wanna be. We are a team. My daughter ,my firstborn, the one that stopped me in my tracks and paved new ones for me.❤

Entry: #SS013

Having you was the best thing that has ever happened to my life, life never made it easy for me then it got worse the moment I found out about my pregnancy. I had so many Questions that I couldn’t get answers for, at that time I wished for so much but the moment I held you in my arms I knew God had plan for you and I.

I could hope so much for you the future I see in my little Girl’s eyes is so amazing because I always do my best to be the best mom. My Daughter became the only thing that I lived for my love for you just make it easy for me to be the best mom in the world. I deserve to be the best winner because I’m one of young women without parents who has a rough background where my mom left me when I was only two months old but I never let that destroy the relationship

I have with my daughter besides I want nothing but the best for my baby girl. What makes me special is that many young girls like me couldn’t face the challenges that comes with life but they rather commit suicide but I never did that.

Entry: #SS015

Me and my daughter deserve to win this competition because mother is the only person in the world who can turn daughter’s worries and fears into happiness. A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future. I’ve never had a moment’s doubt. I love you.

I believe in you completely. You are my dearest one. My reason for life. If you ever feel like giving up, just remember there is a little girl watching who wants to be just like you. A mom is a daughter’s ‘first’ friend. And, through life, becomes her best friend. That’s why I decided to name my child Mpho Blessing because she is a gift from God and my blessing❤️

Greetings Madam/Sir.

I wrote this letter because I know that I am the woman that you are looking for. I am the woman that loves to encourage and motivate other woman. Second of all I am the woman who fears and love God. I am the special woman that you are looking for , because I can change people’s life. In this time people need woman like us to encourage them and help them because their hope is in us woman.

So as woman’s we must stand up and rise , because if we rise and stand together against all the violence that is happening right now in our country and world. People will respect us , people will see us as the woman of all Nations, woman that changed the world and made people live in the right way. So as woman of South Africa, we must take this serious
because the are children and mothers who are being killed by their fathers and husbands. So we must stand up and say” Enough is enough”, because if this continues we are going to loose our children and our family members because of what is happening in our world. What makes me special is that I’m passionate in seeing other woman being happy about themselves, feel good and beautiful too, because the word of says we’re created by the Image of God and again in the book of Proverbs 14:1
It talks about the wise woman and it makes me a special woman.

Yours sincerely
Simangele and Khanyisile Mkwanazi.

My name is Lorrein Skosana, I’m 29 years and I live in Sharpeville… I am a mother to two beautiful daughters Kutloano 9 years and Gomotsegang 3 years and a partner to Ben Tshenyego. I am the best candidate to win Women’s Month Competition because I have proven myself that nothing in this world can change a person. I had my 1st daughter as a teenager, through family support and love…. I went back to school and finished my studies.

I was inspired by my partner to be responsible, independent and respectful. I then took an oath that I will be a mother to my kids and respectful wife to my husband. It is not an easy journey but it takes one to sacrifice the outside world and focus on developing and learning for better foundation in life. Education has always been a key to better living….hence in life you have to have boundaries in order to make up your principles. I have graduated with Sedibeng tvet college for management assistant, I have 5 years experience with the biggest company and I decided to venture out to.

Entry: #SS019

I became a mom at a very young age while I was still at school, then the father was not there all along. As an orphan I was raised and helped by my granny before her passing. I come across very heart breaking things as my daughter is now a teen, feel like giving up on her at times, but I pray for change slowly but surely God is answering my prayers. I stick by my daughter’s side even after every one lost hope in her.

I deserve to win in order to show my daughter no matter how hard the situation is I will always be by her side to motivate her in doing good for her life. I think am very special because am a young strong, gifted single black woman who is struggling and still pushes harder to see that my daughter is well taken care of no matter what. Against all odds I love my daughter.

And that’s how I know I am special because I am a woman raising another woman who is going to make this world a better one, a strong one, a sure happy one.

My name is Anna Matjeke. Mostly known as Poppy. When my sister passed on in 2019, she left me with a wonderful 3 years old gift, her daughter. I had never been a mom before, so I basically had to learn how to become a mother in an instant.

I could’ve decided to not take on the responsibility of being a mom to my sister’s child, but The Holy Spirit in me would not have allowed me. It takes a real strong woman with courage and unconditional love to be a true mother. And I am that woman.My beautiful daughter is now blissfully 6 years old .

Hey guys so above is a picture of my sister and my niece. The reason why I’d like to win is because, I want to do something nice for the both of them. My sister has been an amazing support system and she has been through a lot both growing up and recently, So I genuinely would like to do something special for them both.

I want my sister to know that she’s an amazing mom and a great sister and wife and I want my little niece to know that her aunt loves her more than anything in the whole world. I’d like both of them to feel appreciated and loved. What makes me or them special rather is how to close the are. My niece is only 5 years old but she’s very thoughtful and considerate, she loves bringing her mom[my sister] flowers[Dandelions🌼to be specific] from school.

Sometimes she leaves some of her lunch for my sister which I find so cute and heartwarming. Please let me win this and grant me the opportunity of making their women’s month a little extra special. Thank You. 💖

Hi my name is Ntomzodwa Evelyn Ngema, a mother of a beautiful daughter Reneiloe Mbali Ranthimo. I am a divorced mother who raised her daughter all by myself. Its was hurtful but I made it by the grace of God.

Her father and I separated while I was pregnant and he never even a single day took responsibility to help me raise our daughter. During my pregnancy it was hard to deal with the situation and I almost lost her, but God was with me. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

When he was told that I gave birth, after some month’s he served me with the Divorce papers and that time  I was breastfeeding. I tried to be strong but I almost lost it, where it came to a point were my parents told me to stop breastfeeding my baby because I am feeding her with a broken heart and that breast milk will make my baby to be sick.

I had to stop breastfeeding that time I’m unemployed. I have to start buying milk for her and life was very tough for me. I kept on pushing raising her till now and still unemployed.  I make sure I put food on the table and make sure she is dressed.

How I’m blessed being a mother to this beautiful daughter. I always feel special mothering this soul even though it can be hard but I keep pushing. More especially at night oh no it’s a mess I have to wake up change her nappy give her food and obviously for her to sleep I basically have to sing.

Being a mother makes me strong n keeps me going everyday. I feel empty when this soul is not around. How blessed I am. Beside the naughtiness I am blessed with such a peaceful soul ever. My first and last baby girl Busi. I even gave her the name Busisiwe because obviously we r blessed. Thank you.❤️

Diane James and Bianca van Niekerk. Why should we win? Well simply because we are always straightening the crowns of other ladies. We give and help wherever we can. And we are always a shoulder for other vulnerable ladies to cry on. You need, we make a plan to find it for you.

No jealousy ever towards beautiful women and women who fly above the rest. We understand that every woman should be smudging their mascara with tears of joy, and not with tears of sadness. We don’t lead or walk behind lovely ladies. We take their hands and walk beside them. We love all women unconditionally. We salute all mothers, daughters and grannies for the difference they make to this world. Kindness is our logo, companionship is our motto. Our doors are always open for that cup of tea and ginger biscuit. May God bless all the beautiful ladies.

Hi everyone

I honestly don’t even know where to start 🙃I fell pregnant with my daughter while doing my matric and at that point I was certain that my life was over. I couldn’t face the humiliation, so I stopped going to school 😔. Gave birth on the 13 March 2007, while being a mother to my beautiful daughter I realized that my life had just began and to become the best mother, I needed to get my education. Went back to school, which was hard since my peers were already in varsity but because it was not just about me anymore I pushed so hard, passed my matric and managed to get into university ☺️

I remember going to my parents Grave with tears falling, mixed emotions. My community members had wrote me off as 1 of the children who won’t amount to anything and there I was with my approval letter from the university of Johannesburg.

The one thing I could say was ” I’m going to make you proud and your granddaughter “

Being a mother has taught me so much about myself, I’m grateful as I get to grow together with my darling daughter ❤️

Entry: #SS039

Hi. I hope you are well. I am Florah Lena Mkhaliphi and I am a single parent. I love my kids so much. They mean the world to me and they make me a better person everyday. I have learnt a lot from them. I have always been by their sides whenever and wherever they needed me. I have carried them all these years alone and made sure I become their mother and fill up the space of being a father to them too.

I love them so much. Even if it means I have to give up on my wants just to fulfill their needs, I will because nothing makes me happier than seeing smiles on their faces. Every time I see them smile and laugh, I always feel like my world revolves around them. I always thank God for giving me these kids. I have taught them to be respectful, loving and caring so that they can become another version of me.

I’d swear to God that no other parent is better at parenting than me because they don’t know what it feels like to be a single parent who is unemployed but still manages to make sure that her children always goes to bed with full stomachs and leaves the house with smiles on their faces. They don’t know what it feels like to be both a mother and a father at the same time. Everything that I do, I do it for them because I know that they look up to me and for them to be great people, I’ll have to start with myself. I will always become selfless and strong for my kids. I will always be their pillar of strength, their support system and a home filled with a mother’s love and care.

Dear Readers

I trust everything is well. I am Itumeleng Tinte , from the Vaal. I am sending this email with regards to the Women’s Month Competition I saw being advertised on the socials.

First of all , I am delighted and thrilled to be entering this competition because that is one of the bravest thing I had to do this year so far. If I had to know what love is, it will be because of my mother. The more the details I get to know about my mothers life , the stronger I got as her daughter. I didn’t initially grow up with my mom around , I grew up with my grandmother and after we lost her we felt like we lost our touch to this whole world thing.

I believe we deserve to win because my mom and I had to carry each other and do this world thing together, it’s not as easy as it seems. She has instilled morals and values, I’ll forever look up to as a young woman. She has taught me all the responsibilities early in life, although they’re new responsibilities as the sunrises and sunsets. Because of her teachings , I’ll forever be grateful. And I’ll be ecstatic if we had to win , because we deserve a break after we had lost the pillar of the family which is my grandmother . For because all things my hands have held , the best so far is my dearly mother.

Entry: #SS042

My mom has a heart of Gold, everyone from the neighborhood knows that my mother’s house is a home for all. She helps young mothers take care of their babies, she accommodates the homeless, and shares her last bread with the needy.. that woman is a superwoman however she never puts herself first and that has led to health deteriorating right in front of our eyes and she now has arthritis and is always in pain but she still does what she knows best ” caretaker” of everyone and this amazing giveaway would be a lovely gesture to her to show her that she’s amazing and all her efforts don’t go unseen and also she deserves to rest and let someone pamper her for a change.

Thank you

Dear Mom,

There are no words to express how grateful I am for having you as my mother. You have always been there for me, through thick and thin, through all of life’s challenges and joys. As I reflect on our relationship, I realize how much you have taught me about strength, love, and resilience. You have always shown me that no matter what life throws our way, we can always come out on top.

I remember all the times you stayed up late with me, helping me with my homework or just talking about life. You always had a way of making me feel heard and understood, and your unwavering support has been my anchor through all of life’s storms. But more than anything, it is the little moments that I cherish most. The times we spent baking cookies together, painting our nails, or just watching a movie on the couch. Those moments may seem small, but to me, they are the ones that have shaped my life and my relationship with you.

As I move forward in life, I know that I can always look to you for guidance and wisdom. You are my hero, my role model, and my best friend. Thank you for being everything a mother should be and more. I love you more than words can express. I deserve to be the winner of this competition because no other girl would love their mom as much as I love my mom.

At a innocent age of 13years unbeknown to us. My daughter was blessed to share, a last birthday with her Dad on 10th December 2019. A few weeks after, Her Hero passed away.
The year 2021, was her first year in High School. Her Dad was looking forward, to taking his mini-me to school. During lockdown, when many families were in panic mode at home, bonding and praying together. We had to pick up the pieces while reminded of the absences.

I made her write, a letter of which she placed in her Dad’s grave. Jeziyen is a blessing in disguise, my Pillar of Strength.My reasons for waking up and preparing her for school. We are thankful, to GOD, for gifting us Comfort. You just learn to take it one day at a time. Jeziyen who enjoys speaking writing and reading isiZulu as a second language. She really appreciates the African language, including the culture With her confidence, persistence and being extremely driven, I know she is not just going to stop any time soon.

Being a victim of bullying, Jeziyen has taken it upon herself, by Voicing out to assist the Voiceless. She is often searching for ways to try and reach out, bonding and just innocent fun with her classmates. Jeziyen often volunteers her lunch breaks, to offer study guides and lessons. Jeziyen knows that hard work, dedication and commitment is key to Success. I know her Dad is so Proud while watching over her.
Thank you

Everything that makes me savor the little person she is because I’ve just seen a glimpse that childhood is a blip and time truly does fly because I’m a mom. Everyday is a challenge also an experience seeing the world through Munkie waka’s eyes as she grows.

Winning this competition will basically be a reward of all the efforts I put into teaching her something new and how it shines through hard work and devotion. Writing for this competition is also a reach out saying HAPPY BIRTH MONTH, this is the platform I could tell the world how much she means to me and that is exactly what makes me special

I am special as a mother because: 1. I am affectionate to my children, show them love, care, support. 2. I am their friend, they are able to open up to me about their life challenges, knowing me, I will help without being judgemental. 3. I wish them well, pray for them and with them even if I am going through difficult situations, I put the first.

I am a strong women, everything that hits me in life I’ve dealt with on my own. I’ve cried myself to sleep, picked myself back up and wiped my own tears. I have grown from things that are meant to break me. I  get stronger by the day and I have my Kids to thank for that.

Being a mom is not easy, I still have to be a mom when I’m stressed, depressed, burnt out, and on that note I still have my little girls, even if their young they can still make me feel special, they are people who gives me hope, people who make me want to hustle for them. They give me love and support… If I win this I will celebrate with my kids coz they are everything to me

My name is Ntsoaki Flora Mphalali and my daughter is Onkabetse Tshepiso Mphalali

To be a mother made me understand the quote “It takes a village to raise a child”. I am a young mother, 22 years of age and my daughter is 3 years old. I might have been a teen mom but took an oath that no matter I would never leave my child for the temptations of the world.

What is special about us is that I was raised to know and I am passing that to her. No matter the circumstances God will always be our provider. I find joy in her performing for me the things she learns at her crèche. I am proud to instill in her the power of education because we live in a world where education plays a major role in opening doors. I totally agree that talents do help children to be success but you got to have something when it fades away.

I wish my daughter grows to be fierce. I wish God to protect her from all bad things of the world, as drugs have become a friend to children. Every time I feel I could give up, I remember that my daughter is watching and might want to be like me, its by this reason we deserve to win.

My name is Lettia Mochalibane, I’m 34 years old, I’m a single mother of two, a 17 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. I was born and raised in Sharpeville, I’m currently doing food and beverage learnership. Growing up I dreamnt of being a social worker, until life had turn on me ending up being a teen mom at the age of 16,while I was still at school doing grade 10.

Then I had to quit school for a year to raise my daughter. It wasn’t an easy situation because I was unable to hang around with my peers because you know how the black society is, they started being judgmental as most parents had this perception that I’m going to teach their children to lack ethics and moralities, thinking that if their children hang around with me they will intend or ending up like me by falling pregnant at an early age.

It is still hard even now to raise children alone. She’s now a teenager matriculant at Thuto-Lore Comprehensive School, I now don’t see it as a mistake it’s a blessing in disguise. Over all the experience made me the woman that I am today. The reason why I deserve to win once in my life I feel like I need something that will cheer me along with my daughter.

My mother, Lebohang Tlharipe, is a phenomenal woman. Growing up, she didn’t have much being the eldest of six children. She rose above her circumstances to become a professional nurse. Although there were times our family didn’t have much, she made sure we had what we needed, working long hours to save lives then return home to care for us.

My mother supported my many ventures into different activities emotionally and financially. Growing up, I tried swimming, tennis, athletics, drama, poetry, music, cheerleading; you get the idea! For all those that I tried she never discouraged me until I found my true purpose which is teaching. My mother is not a mother only to me. She took in a lot of relatives and raised them like her own. After my father’s passing, when any other person could have given up, she continued running the church they started together. She sees her members as family and goes beyond pastoring them. I know I am blessed to have her as s role model, she is a true mbokodo, a conner stone.

I can only hope to be half the woman she is

My name is Nthabiseng and I am blessed with 4 daughters. I was in an abusive marriage of 17years. By God’s grace I managed to run away and come out safe December last year. We were living in Northern Cape and I had to come back home at Sharpeville with 5 kids and the only things we had was our bags and laptop. My ex came bag with police demanding the laptop back. He had our cars house with furniture and our important belongings.

Me being employed with 5 kids it wasn’t easy but my kids love and support made it possible. I am blessed with musical gift I wrote more than 20 songs. At the moment I sing at local churches and I am learning to do beauty tech in the local salon. My wish is to find sponsorship in my professional beauty training and recording my songs in studio and live video recording.

My name is Lisbeth Thinane and I have a 5 years old daughter, her name is Treasure Letlotlo Thinane. I never had a joyful moment while I was pregnant, my baby daddy left us when I was eight months  pregnant. I never had a baby shower because the doctors were sure that my daughter would never make it but through all the challenges, God has kept us.

This year January I struggle to get stationery and uniform for Letlotlo’s Grade R. I didn’t know where to go or what to do since I’m not working and baby daddy wants nothing to do with us. We’ve been through so much in this 5 years but I’m grateful for everything that has happened. We have encoutered so many hard times but the joy that comes with having a baby girl, who is so bubbly it’s a great blessing.
