“It’s a double-sided award in that I was also invited to co-author an international anthology called Women Making a Difference.
“The book is a collaboration with international women from various spheres where we get to tell our life stories as it were and give an insight into how we do what we do in life and why it translates to Mother of Nations. My part in this book is sharing my journey as a Mother of Nations,” she said.
Nozizwe Mother of Nations is a charitable trust which is a social impact organisation that assists communities with resources like food and wheelchairs for the disabled as well as school fees and psychosocial support.
