Mother\u2019s Day is the opportune time to celebrate all that the maternal figures do for us. But not all these efforts are recognised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a group of 150 mothers from the Tafelsig area, an annual event by a local organisation is a chance to relax and unwind from their daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mothers were treated to a Mother\u2019s Day event on Saturday 13 May, hosted by the Golden Ladies \u2013 a collective of community workers in the surrounding community, doing various outreach programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ursula Peters says the group of ladies were each tasked with identifying mothers from their working area to attend the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would love to have invited all mothers, but we had a criteria in place. This event is for mothers who are struggling, broken mothers. My heartbeat is for these mothers and the community,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mothers were encouraged to forget their many responsibilities and enjoy their spoils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you know the value of a mother? As mothers, we fill so many spots. We are not perfect as we stand here, but that does not keep us behind,\u201d said Peters at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme included testimony from Prison Ministries and entertainment by local band, Double Edge Outreach Group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey both came forward wanting to assist. Their hearts are also in the community to make a difference. The band is also an organisation striving to make a difference through music,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mothers were treated to a lunch and cake and tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
