"I’m just really amazed at the responses I’m getting from that video. I’m so overwhelmed with all the love. I appreciate it.
"I did that video and was very sceptical about posting it because I thought I was going to get a lot of negative comments on it because well, social media can be a very cruel place. I had it in my drafts for some time actually then one day I just decided, let me post it and the comments have been so heart warming."
In a society that sometimes stigmatises single mothers, her story is a powerful reminder that they too can find love and happiness.
"I decided to share my story, and judging from the comments I’ve been reading in my video, a lot of single mothers have lost hope in themselves and think they have to take a backseat when it comes to love and happiness.
"No single mother wanted to be a single mother, it was circumstances that lead to them being single mothers. No matter the circumstance, no woman should be made to feel like they deserve any less just because they are a single mother."
Her own love story began five years ago when she was working for Greyhound and her boyfriend was a student in his final year. At first, she thought it might be a short-lived fling due to the misconception that men don't want to date women with children, especially if they have none of their own.
"This man has showed me nothing but unconditional love since day one and has never made me feel like a reject or like I deserve any less. He has been an inspiration and a best friend to my son for the past five years.
"To this day, I wonder what I did to deserve this much love because he always overextends himself just for the comfort of me and my son and I pray that God continues to bless him and that his cup overflows with blessings from above."
Zuma's story is a testament to love's ability to break down societal barriers and prejudices.
"Women with children are definitely still frowned upon, you go on social media and just read what they say about men who date women with children, it’s absolutely horrible and depressing, single mothers believe they deserve less.
"One thing my boyfriend and I have mastered is shutting out the outside noise and negative comments and just carry on doing us."
