It’s Mother’s Day it is a chance to honour the special mother figures in our lives. Naturally, we’re curious to see how our favourite celeb moms are marking the occasion. Here’s how South African celebrities will be spending this day.
Boity Thulo, Media Personality
"Happy Mother’s Day to the three incredible women who raised me to become the lady I am today. Motherhood is such a supernatural power that I, myself cannot wait to experience," she says. "To my mom, my aunt and my grandma. I am because you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuously nurturing me, loving me, supporting me, protecting me, and praying for me daily. I love you with all of my heart and soul. And I want to show you that love for as long as I live."
Priddy Ugly, Rapper
"95% of the content on my phone consists of Ma’Afrika and Afrika. I take most without their knowledge, browsing through the pics & vids brightens up even the darkest of days," he says. "Their bond is unlike no other. I witnessed her carry our baby with love and grace, now witnessing her raise our baby with the same love & grace gives me a sneak peek of God’s love manifested. Creation is beautiful. Mothers are our gods on earth."
Carol Ofori, radio and television personality
Carol Ofori and her mom have an incredibly special relationship and she is looking forward to celebrating her this Mother’s Day. "My mom is so special because she puts up with all my nonsense! - she made me, so she kind of has to! My mom has such a big, forgiving, and very giving heart and a great council spirit. She will comfort and support you which I admire so much." Carol adds "My mom is also unapologetic when it comes to giving advice. Even if she knows you are going to fight with her because you don’t want her to have this opinion on something, she’s not going to not have this opinion because she’s scared of your reaction.She will always be honest, and I love that. Being honest with yourself and people is so important. She is also such a great grandmother and my kids adore her and she spoils them and she prays for them and I am grateful for that."
Lamies Holworthy, DJ
"I pray that I will be to my son what you are to me."
DJ Zinhle, Artist
"No matter how much I say I love you, I will always love you more than that. I am so blessed to be your mother, thank you for all the love and kisses."
Kiddo CSA, rapper, and musician
Newcomer Kiddo CSA is taking the local rap space by storm with his just-released EP ‘Worldwide Eye’ and as his profile continues to grow, the rapper explains that his mother helped pave the way for his success. "There’s a lot I could say about why my mother is so special but I think the biggest impact she has had on me is the way she is patient about everything," Kiddo CSA explains. "She taught me how to wait my time and work harder without stressing too much, something I struggled with for a minute. Having her to watch out for me throughout the years practicing patience in everything she did is just one of the many reasons that she is so special to me."
Kim Jayde, influencer and media personality
For social media sensation Kim Jayde, living in a different country to her mother’s has certainly been a challenge, but something that has helped make them incredibly close regardless. "My mum lives in Zimbabwe, so unfortunately we don’t get to physically be together to celebrate this day. But, I’m grateful for our relationship. We talk often and share stories about life. She gives me love and supports through it all," the DStv Content Creator Awards winner says. "My mom was my first glimpse into the fabulous world of fashion. We grew up in a small town, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and her job allowed her to travel the world for work. Upon return she’d always bring back a copy of Vogue or Harpers Bazaar and explain the brands and designer labels."
