1y By Qaqamba Falithenjwa

Being a mother is something to be celebrated every day, but it’s made extra special on Mother’s Day, when the whole world comes to a stop to pause and admire these powerful forces of women.

It’s even extra special to those who are first-time moms because they get to experience a different kind of life altogether.

Mother’s Day 2025 was filled with love, light and loads of cuteness as a few of Mzansi’s favourite celebrities marked their very first Mother’s Day — and social media couldn’t get enough.
