In celebration of Mother’s Day, we took five incredible SweepStars who also happen to be moms out for a brunch at Our Local in Cape Town. The morning started with a meet and greet at Sweepsouth headquarters. After some brief introductions, we headed out to Kloof Street.
Over delicious breakfast plates, laughter and conversation flowed easily as the SweepStars shared stories about their journeys on the platform, their personal challenges, and their dreams for their families.
Each woman brought a piece of her story to the table, and every story was deeply rooted in motherhood. They spoke lovingly of their children—their joys, their hopes, their fears.
“Being a mom has taught me to always go for what I want to achieve for my kids. I can do anything I put my mind to.” – Teffan Chakanga, Mom to a two year old.
They opened up about the mothers and grandmothers who raised them, shaped them, and passed down wisdom they now carry with pride.
“I remember my Mom for her incredible cooking skills and the warmth of her presence in our home.” – Sithabile Manto, Mom to three children.
After brunch, we returned to the office and each SweepStar received a small surprise, a gift box from Essence. This was a simple token of our appreciation of their strength, their service, and their stories.
This brunch was more than just a meal—it was a celebration of everything it means to be a mother, a provider, a woman striving to give her best each day. To all SweepStars: Thank you for inspiring us, not just with the work you do, but with the love and dedication you bring to every part of your life. You are what makes the Sweepsouth community truly special.
