According to the Social Research Foundation, single-parent families are a significant demographic in South Africa. Statistics show that nearly half of children aged 0-6 live in such households, predominantly with their mothers.
Despite the challenges faced by a crippled economy and high unemployment rates, these women are the epitome of strength and tenacity. They juggle family responsibilities with career aspirations, often overcoming significant challenges to succeed.

The Briefly News editorial team featured mothers from diverse backgrounds and industries, each with a unique story of triumph. From running successful businesses to excelling in their careers, these women embody resilience and commitment.
“As a mother, I fully understand the daily work that often goes unnoticed, the kind that doesn’t make it onto a resume. When I see women not only embracing this role but also starting businesses, becoming influencers, earning degrees and doing it all on their own, I see true women of wonder in front of me,” said Rianette Cluley, Managing Director of Briefly News.
