Something special is coming for Durban mamas… 💛

I have such amazing spoils planned for this Mother’s Day Scavenger Hunt, and I can’t wait to start hiding affirmation cards all around Durban from 1–11 May!

What’s an affirmation card? It’s a little message a mom may need to hear that day — reminders that you are seen, appreciated, loved, and doing better than you think. 🌸

I’ll be hiding them in safe spaces around Durban and sharing clues right here on my page.

If you find one: ✨ Snap a photo
✨ Upload it to social media with the hashtag
✨ Or leave a comment on my page with your picture
✨ And receive a spoil — guaranteed! 🎁

This is all about spreading kindness and reminding moms they matter.

Durban businesses — if you’d like to contribute a spoil for a mama and be part of this feel-good community activation, I’d love to hear from you:
📧 hello@mzansimama.co.za

Let’s make some magic for moms. Because moms are superheroes. 💛

Calling all mothers and mother-figures 📢 You're invited to our Mother's Day Tea on Saturday 9th May at KSP 🌸

Please join us for a morning of community and celebration, and enjoy our choir, eats, and Mzansi Mama's words of wisdom.

Booking is essential 🗓

We hope to see you there!

Happy Freedom Day, Mzansi Mamas 🇿🇦❤️

Give yourself grace, mama. You’ve got this. ✨

I'm so rich ❤️😍

Over 100 meals served in just one week. ❤️

On Monday, I cooked 60 home-cooked meals and delivered them to single mamas, children and pensioners in my local community. Every meal is made with love and the best ingredients I can afford, because I believe people deserve a proper home-cooked meal.

Just to feed everyone, I used:
6 onions
5 peppers
3 punnets of mushrooms
10 packets of spaghetti
1kg cheese
1kg ham
7 litres of milk
4 x 1kg frozen veg packs
…plus oil, margarine, garlic, spices and so much more.

Later in the week, more meals were cooked and delivered again, helping push the total to over 100 meals served in one week. I’m so grateful for the people who step in to help me — whether through ingredients, groceries, encouragement or practical support. I truly appreciate all the assistance from community members.

In between cooked meal deliveries, I also try help with grocery items where I can for the rest of the week — bread, peanut butter, two-minute noodles, pasta, juice and basics that help stretch cupboards a little further. Honestly, any item helps so much.

My list was sitting at 60 single mamas, kids and pensioners… and now it has grown to 69. The need is growing, but I’ll keep showing up as long as I can.

Thank you to everyone who supports this work in any way. It all matters.

And a small favour — please don’t forget to vote for Mzansi Mama in Best of Bluff and Best of Durban under the Community Upliftment section. Your vote would mean so much to me. ❤️

This is so beautiful 😍❤️ In a world focused on screens, this is the kind of love and care our children need. Books, imagination, and community 💫

In honour of World Book Day on Thursday 23rd April we want to spread the love of stories as far as possible 📖

If you have any unwanted books, for any age, gathering dust at home, please consider donating! 📚 You can drop them off at KSP at any time within the next three weeks, after which we will present them to Mzansi Mama at our Mother's Day Tea.

Mzansi Mama, a local 'guardian angel for mommies', takes care of multiple moms and children with meals, sponsorships, and more. We would love to help her in this small way by sending the gift of stories to bless those families with a reason to imagine, to connect, to read together.

📖

PS We can't wait to see all our leaners' creativity on display on Thursday as they dress up as their favourite characters - or an idiom! 🎩

This mama community has grown so much in just a few months, and it blows my mind every day. The more we grow, the more mamas we can reach, support, uplift and celebrate.

One of the biggest highlights of my week — and honestly what made my week — was getting contacted by Best of Durban and Best of Bluff 🥹

To be nominated in the NPO Community category… wow. That hit differently. It means my community sees this space, feels it, and believes in what we’re building together.
Even if I don’t win (but yes, I’m definitely manifesting wins on both 🙏🏽✨), I’m just so grateful to be included.

Voting opens on Monday, and I can’t do this without you ❤️

What would winning mean to me? It means more people hearing about this mom community… more mamas joining… more support, more love, and more opportunities to bless and uplift each other. And that’s the real win.

I’ll be sharing the voting link on Monday — I’d appreciate every single vote more than you know.

Thank you for being part of my journey 🤍

I’ve had the wildest week ever… 😅
My website was down for 48 hours because the whole server crashed (stress levels = 📈), but thankfully it’s finally back up and running again 🙌

Both my kids have been home from school too… I was convinced my little one had hand, foot and mouth, but thankfully it turned out to just be a rash and it cleared up with no other symptoms 🤍

In between all of that, I was blessed with a new couch so I sold my old one… and wow, that turned into a whole situation.

I’m usually very clued up when it comes to scams — I stick to cash or instant transfers and move money immediately. This time, the guy said he was struggling to pay and sent an eWallet (which I’ve used many times before).

As soon as he collected the couch, he blocked me everywhere — WhatsApp, calls, even Facebook 🚩

I went to withdraw the money… nothing. And honestly, every cent matters — especially when you’re trying to pour back into your community like I do.

But something didn’t sit right with me, so I tracked him down 👀 reached out to him and even contacted a few family members.

Eventually, he unblocked me and I got my money back. Whether it was a “mistake” or not… I’m just glad I didn’t let it go.

But here’s the part I’ve really been sitting with lately...

I love what I do 🤍 I love showing up, helping where I can, and building something meaningful.

But I think because of that… people have started expecting more from me than I can realistically give.

My inbox is constantly filled with requests — asking me to pay their electricity, school fees, give gifts…new TVs🙃

and some of them are really heavy.
And the truth is… it weighs on me.

Because I care.
Because I wish I could help everyone.
Because I know what it feels like to need support.

But I’m also just one person.
A mama of two.
Trying to build something, sustain my own home, and still give back where I can.

Giving should never feel like pressure.
And lately… it has.

So this is just me gently saying — I’m doing what I can, when I can 🤍

And I hope that can be enough for now.

I truly believe there’s still so much good in people… but we also need to remember that even the ones who give… need space, grace, and understanding too.

With love,
Mzansi Mama❤️
