Mothers in unity for Raising Kings
Through personal testimonies and practical guidance, speakers encouraged women to be intentional in raising boys with strong values, character and purpose.
Mothers gathered on Saturday for the inaugural Raising Kings event, a faith-based initiative focused on supporting and empowering women raising boys.
Founded by Bridget Mwelase and Sizakele Nonhlanhla Ngala under The Grace Collection, Raising Kings aims to encourage intentional motherhood while equipping women with tools to raise responsible, confident and purpose-driven young men.
Held under the theme ‘Building Character. Leading Legacies’, the first-ever event provided a platform for mothers to connect, share experiences and reflect on the important role they play in shaping the next generation.
Faith grounds parenting journey
The programme featured a number of speakers who shared personal stories about their parenting journeys, offering insights into the challenges and rewards of raising boys.
The speakers included Mbuso Shange, Evelyn Ndebele, Pastor Thabiso Mabongoane Msiza and Rev George Ngwenya.
A common message throughout the day was the importance of faith in motherhood, with speakers encouraging attendees to turn to God’s Word for guidance.

Several presentations focused on the use of Bible scriptures in parenting and the role of prayer in raising children with strong values and character.
One attendee said the message that stood out most for her was the importance of prayer.
“What I am taking home from this event is that we need to pray and pray even more. As mothers, we need to seek God’s guidance as we raise our children,” she said.
Building lasting legacies
Beyond the motivational talks, the event also included a live band and fellowship.
Organisers said the purpose of Raising Kings is not only to celebrate mothers of boys, but also to encourage them to be intentional about the values, character and legacy they are building in their sons.
“After this event, we are going to do a lot of corrections; we really have a lot to correct. We even made the programme short so that mothers will comprehend the messages from the speakers,” said Ngala.
