Lucilia and Manka Moleko
Lucilia Moleko: Happy Mother’s Day Mama! If I ever was half the woman that you are, then I know I would have made it in this world. Thank you for teaching me how to love with an open heart and how to be adventurous. I pray that the sacrifices you have made for your kids and other people’s kids will return to you in many blessings. And I cannot wait to see and witness the great things that the Lord will do in your life. Sorry that I can’t be there but I hope you’re having an amazing day! Lucilia with her mom, Manka Moleko.

Mamello and Motshabi Phasiwe
To my mother, Motshabi Khasu, what a blessing you are! God could not have chosen a better mother to parent me, us, a better woman to nurture and build our home. You did it with such grace, such humility, you did it with such strength. You have given me the best gift any parent could give to their child, you have given me Jesus and you continuously point me back to Him and for that I am eternally grateful. I look up to you mom, I love you wholeheartedly and I want to proclaim it for the whole world to know, you are amazing. Mamello with her mom, Motshabi Khasu. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
Megan and Almiena Murphy
When I think about my mother, I see a strong, beautiful and courageous women. Proverbs 31 sums up exactly the characteristics that my mother upholds. Thank you for loving us unconditionally. I thank the Lord every day for choosing you as our mother! We would not exchange you for anyone else. I love you wholeheartedly Mommy. Happy Mother’s Day! Megan with her mom Almiena Murphy.
