A local mom-of-three is giving soft life vibes, in the heart of the rural Eastern Cape, in KuQumbu and inspiring many young people in the process.

The woman, TikTok user @annetteskaap333, shared the wholesome clip on the platform and social media users couldn’t get enough of it.

Feeding lambs and living freely

The heartwarming video opens with her gently bottle-feeding a baby lamb, with a baby bottle, standing in a kraal surrounded by bleating sheep. She's clearly done this before, moving effortlessly around the animals with calm, loving energy. The clip moves to show someone handing her a big 20L bottle of water. She walks it over and pours it carefully into the big tub that the sheep drink from. Next, it’s chow time.

She tries to scatter the feed, but the sheep crowd around her, all pushing and jostling, making it difficult to walk. She laughs and tells them to give her space, joking that she can’t feed them all at once. The connection is clear; she's more than just a farmer, she's part of their flock. The video ends with a delivery of large hay bales, showing how much care goes into keeping these animals well-fed.
