Being a mother is so much more than having babies, it is selflessly giving of yourself to make sure that those tiny humans never feel the pain you experienced and have everything and more than you could ever dream of. Being a mom is giving your life to the life you created.
An undeniably strong woman named Thando Sithole shared how she left her children with her parents seven years ago in order to complete her matric. She now holds an advanced diploma and prays that her children reap the rewards of her sacrifices.
"I left my kids with my parents to complete my matric, 7 years ago after my divorce, I went back to grade 11. 2020 I received my diploma and this year I received my Advanced diploma. I thrived under unfavourable circumstances. To this day I study with tears in my eyes because I am missing so many of my kiddies' milestones. Postgraduate diploma in progress."
