Mapaseka Koetle Invites Modern Parents and Caregivers for a National Conversation on Raising the Next Generation

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — October 2025 — As South Africa marks National Children’s Day on 1 November 2025, actress and entrepreneur Mapaseka Koetle, in partnership with All Inn Management, will host Mommy Diaries Live in Midrand.

The event aligns with this year’s theme of advancing the rights of children, highlighting the role mothers, fathers, and caregivers play in creating nurturing environments where children can grow and thrive. More than a discussion, Mommy Diaries Live builds on this spirit by positioning itself as a movement that resonates with the call to safeguard children’s futures.

With a dynamic line-up including Kgomotso Christopher, Lorcia Cooper, Mampho Brescia, Dr. Boitumelo Phetla, and DJ Fae Fae, the event will combine honest conversations, practical tools, and community connection to elevate the dialogue around parenting in today’s South Africa.

Why This Event Matters

Motherhood carries layers of pressure, expectation, and complexity. According to Stats SA, over 45.5% of children in South Africa live only with their mothers, while just 31.4% live with both parents. This underscores how many women continue leading households and navigating responsibilities largely on their own.

“Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also messy, complicated, and full of unspoken truths. These numbers remind us just how modern day mothers continue to walk this journey largely on their own.” says Mapaseka.

In 2023, around 6.7 million grandparents lived with 9.7 million children aged 0–17, showing how caregiving often extends across families and generations.

“With Mommy Diaries Live, I wanted to create a space where contemporary parents and caregivers can come together, feel seen, and share authentic stories that remind us we are not alone. But this is not just about sharing stories; it’s about elevating that conversation and shaping how we can collectively protect and nurture the next generation,” she adds.

What to Expect

The first Mommy Diaries Live will offer an intimate, interactive, and solutions-driven experience for South African families with: 

• Panel Conversations: Topics spanning mental health, balancing careers and family, identity, resilience, and the challenges of modern parenting.
• Networking & Community: A platform for mothers, fathers, and caregivers to connect and build lasting support systems.
• Content Capture: Highlights and insights will be shared publicly to extend the impact beyond the day itself.

The event is proudly supported by purpose-driven sponsors including Douwe Egberts, TAQA Africa, and HONOR partners who believe in elevating the role of parenting in shaping stronger communities with more brands to be confirmed.
