by the Chancellor Officer- Jeffery Montapina

Good morning, distinguished colleagues, honored guests, and most especially, the incredible mothers among us.

Today, we gather in celebration of a cornerstone of our families, communities, and indeed, our organization — our mothers.

Mother’s Day is not merely a date on the calendar. It is a reminder — a sacred pause — that calls us to honor the strength, resilience, and unconditional love that mothers embody every single day. Here at SayPro, where our mission is rooted in empowering individuals and uplifting communities, we know deeply that behind every empowered life is often the quiet and courageous presence of a mother.

To the mothers who work within our organization — balancing tasks, leading teams, nurturing ideas, and still finding time to nurture families at home — we see you. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. Your ability to lead both with intellect and with heart is a model of excellence for all of us.

To the mothers in our communities — those who are raising future leaders, supporting their families, and serving as the first teachers of values, empathy, and perseverance — we thank you. SayPro’s work would not be possible without your unwavering contribution to the social fabric we serve.

Let us also acknowledge all who play the role of a mother — grandmothers, aunts, sisters, mentors, and caregivers — your impact is immeasurable. The world is a better, more compassionate place because of you.

This Mother’s Day, I encourage every one of us to reflect — not only in gratitude but also in action. Let us recommit to policies and practices that support mothers in the workplace. Let us foster environments where motherhood is not seen as a challenge to overcome, but a strength to be honored.

On behalf of the entire SayPro family, I offer our deepest appreciation and heartfelt wishes to all mothers. May you feel celebrated, supported, and seen — today and always.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Thank you.

By the Chief Human Capital Officer- Sinentlantal Mabusela

Good morning, colleagues and SayPro family,

Today, we gather not only to continue the important work we do every day, but also to pause—and to honor. Mother’s Day is a time when we reflect on the extraordinary women who shape our lives, homes, communities, and workplaces. As the Chief Human Capital Officer of SayPro, it is both a privilege and a responsibility to acknowledge the immeasurable contributions that mothers make—not just biologically, but emotionally, socially, and professionally.

Mothers teach us our first lessons in compassion, resilience, and leadership. Whether they are raising children, mentoring teams, guiding communities, or juggling multiple roles with grace, their strength forms the foundation upon which societies stand.

Here at SayPro, we are proud to be a workplace that values people holistically. We know that behind every great project, every success story, and every milestone achieved, there are human beings—many of whom are mothers—balancing complex roles and doing so with unmatched dedication.

Today, we say thank you.

To the mothers working within SayPro: Your commitment inspires us. You bring empathy to our strategies, patience to our challenges, and humanity to our performance. We see you. We appreciate you. And we celebrate you.

To those who are not mothers but have mothered others—colleagues, students, friends, or family members—you too deserve to be honored. Motherhood is as much about love and care as it is about biology.

And to those for whom this day is difficult—for reasons of loss, longing, or memory—please know that we hold space for you as well. Empathy and inclusion remain central to our values, and this day belongs to you too.

As we move forward, let us continue to build a culture that supports all caregivers. Let us be generous with our understanding, flexible in our support, and intentional in creating opportunities for all employees to thrive—in and outside the workplace.

On behalf of the executive team and the Human Capital Division, I wish you all a peaceful, joyful, and meaningful Mother’s Day.

Thank you.

by SayPro Chief Strategic Development Officer- Regaugetswe Netshiozwe

Good morning, colleagues, partners, and distinguished guests,

Today, I have the profound honor of standing before you to celebrate a pillar of our society, a source of unwavering strength and compassion—our mothers.

At SayPro, we believe in the power of community, care, and transformation. No role exemplifies these values more clearly than that of a mother. Whether biological, adoptive, foster, or symbolic, mothers shape the future—not only in their homes but in boardrooms, classrooms, clinics, and communities.

They are strategists, balancing countless priorities with grace. They are visionaries, nurturing dreams that grow into reality. They are leaders, cultivating resilience and empathy in a world that sorely needs both.

As the Chief Strategic Development Officer, I often speak of growth, of impact, and of legacy. But if we truly examine those words, we see that mothers have been embodying them for centuries. They grow life. They impact generations. And they leave behind legacies not of wealth, but of wisdom, of love, and of purpose.

Today, we don’t just celebrate mothers for what they do—we honor them for who they are. For the silent strength they show when times are hard. For the loud laughter that lights up rooms. For the invisible hours spent caring, teaching, and leading by example.

To all the mothers within the SayPro family and beyond—whether you are guiding a child, a team, or a vision—we see you. We appreciate you. And we are better because of you.

Let us carry this appreciation beyond today. Let us continue building a world where mothers are supported, empowered, and celebrated not just on Mother’s Day, but every day.

On behalf of the entire Strategic Development team and SayPro leadership, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every mother. Thank you for your boundless love, your unshakable strength, and your remarkable contributions.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Thank you.

By the Chief Strategic Partnership Officer- Nancy Mdaka

Good [morning/afternoon/evening] everyone,

It is both an honor and a heartfelt privilege to stand before you today as we gather to celebrate a day that holds deep significance across the world—Mother’s Day.

At SayPro, we are committed to creating communities of care, empowerment, and service. And no one embodies those values more consistently and courageously than mothers.

Today, we pause to recognize the extraordinary power of motherhood—not just in the biological sense, but in the broader, beautiful spectrum of nurturing, leading, protecting, and shaping lives. Whether you are a birth mother, foster mother, grandmother, single parent, guardian, or mother figure—your impact transcends generations.

Mothers are the silent strategists who plan for tomorrow with love, the fiercest advocates who stand up even when weary, and the quiet architects who build homes, dreams, and resilience. At SayPro, we understand that no sustainable partnership or social impact initiative can truly succeed without recognizing and elevating the role of women and mothers in our communities.

We also honor those for whom this day is complex—those who have lost mothers, long to become one, or are navigating their own path in motherhood. Your strength, too, deserves to be seen and supported.

As Chief Strategic Partnership Officer, I want to reaffirm our commitment to creating partnerships that support mothers—in access to opportunity, in workplace flexibility, in education, in entrepreneurship, and in wellness. Every time we invest in mothers, we invest in the foundation of our societies.

So, to all the SayPro mothers and mother figures: Thank you. Thank you for your courage, your kindness, your leadership, and your unrelenting love. May you feel honored not just today, but every day.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Thank you.

By SayPro Chief Learning and Monitoring Officer- Tsakani Rikhotso

Good morning, SayPro team, colleagues, partners, and distinguished guests,

Today, I have the honour and heartfelt privilege of standing before you to celebrate one of the most profound pillars of our society — our mothers.

Mother’s Day is more than a date on the calendar. It is a reminder of the selfless love, tireless sacrifice, and infinite patience that mothers around the world embody — from the cradle to the classroom, from the kitchen to the boardroom, and even across our digital platforms at SayPro.

In the heart of SayPro’s mission to educate, empower, and uplift individuals and communities, we find the very qualities that mothers instill in us: resilience, compassion, and unwavering commitment. Whether biological, adoptive, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, or community caregivers — the role of the mother transcends biology. It is rooted in service, strength, and guidance.

As the Chief Learning and Monitoring Officer, I am particularly moved by the lessons we continuously draw from the women who raise us — both at home and here in our organization. It is their ability to nurture, teach, and monitor growth that mirrors what we strive to do every day in our educational and development programs.

Today, we celebrate our SayPro mothers — those among us who balance deadlines and diapers, performance reviews and parent-teacher meetings. We salute your extraordinary ability to lead, to love, and to lift others — often all at once.

To our learners and beneficiaries, remember that the knowledge and skills you gain through SayPro are not only a tribute to your own potential, but also to the dreams of the mothers who have stood beside you, quietly cheering you on.

Let us honour our mothers not just with flowers and kind words, but with the daily actions that reflect the values they’ve taught us: respect, accountability, lifelong learning, and empathy.

In closing, I would like to say: to all mothers, thank you. Your legacy is evident in the impact we make, the lives we touch, and the communities we serve.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Thank you.

By Chief Legal Officer- Neftaly Malatjie

Good [morning/afternoon], colleagues, partners, and friends of SayPro,

It is both a privilege and a personal honor to stand before you today as we gather to celebrate an occasion that transcends borders, cultures, and roles — Mother’s Day.

At SayPro, we speak often of leadership, of integrity, of accountability — qualities we strive to uphold in our daily work. But if we reflect for a moment, many of those very principles were first instilled in us not in boardrooms or classrooms, but around kitchen tables, in quiet moments of care, through lessons modeled by the women who raised us, supported us, and believed in us — our mothers.

As Chief Legal Officer, I am charged with ensuring that our values are reflected not only in our contracts and compliance, but also in our culture. And I believe today offers a profound opportunity to reaffirm our respect and gratitude for the women — both in our lives and across our organization — who nurture, advocate, and lead with strength, wisdom, and compassion.

Let us recognize the many forms that motherhood takes: birth mothers, adoptive mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, mentors, and caregivers. Let us honor the working mothers among us who balance conference calls with bedtime stories, and court filings with parent-teacher meetings. Your resilience is not just admirable — it is foundational to the strength of SayPro.

I would also like to acknowledge those for whom this day is tender — those who have lost mothers, those longing to become mothers, and those navigating motherhood’s many complexities. Your stories are part of the rich human tapestry that shapes our understanding and empathy as an organization.

So today, let’s not simply commemorate — let’s commit. Let us commit to building a workplace where women are empowered, where parental support is tangible, where flexibility and dignity go hand in hand. Let’s continue to champion policies that allow both women and men to thrive in their dual roles as professionals and caregivers.

To all the mothers — and to all who mother — thank you. Thank you for your fierce advocacy, your boundless patience, and your unwavering strength.

You are the quiet architects of our future — and today, we raise our voices in gratitude.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Thank you.

By SayPro Chief Operations Officer- Clifford Legodi

Good [morning/afternoon], SayPro colleagues, partners, and esteemed guests.

Today, we pause from our daily operations to honor a role that is both foundational and transformative — the role of a mother.

At SayPro, we are in the business of empowering individuals and building communities. In many ways, mothers are the original community builders — nurturing, teaching, supporting, and leading, often all at once and with little recognition. They are the quiet architects of strong families, and by extension, strong societies.

This day is not just about flowers and greetings — it’s a moment to deeply reflect on the power of care, consistency, and compassion. Whether biological, adoptive, step, or spiritual — mothers and mother figures embody the very values we strive to uphold at SayPro: resilience, empathy, service, and hope.

To the mothers within our organization — thank you. Thank you for bringing your whole selves to work. For managing dual responsibilities with grace. For showing leadership not just in boardrooms, but also in your homes, in your communities, and in the hearts of your children.

To those who honor the memory of mothers no longer with us, we stand with you in gratitude and remembrance. And to those who long to become mothers or who support others in that journey — we see you, and we hold space for you too.

Let us commit today to fostering a workplace and a world where mothers are not only supported, but celebrated. Let us ensure they are not expected to choose between ambition and affection, between leadership and love.

Because when we uplift mothers, we uplift humanity.

Happy Mother’s Day, from all of us at SayPro.

Thank you.

by SayPro Chief Technology Officer- Moses Mnisi

Good morning, SayPro family.

Today, we pause from our usual routines—writing code, solving problems, launching platforms—to honour a force far more powerful than any technology we’ll ever create: our mothers.

Mothers are the original architects of resilience, innovation, and patience. Long before we were building systems and networks, they were building us—brick by brick—with love, sacrifice, and determination.

In tech, we talk about uptime, support, and reliability. I can’t think of a better parallel than the role mothers play in our lives. Whether biological, adoptive, or maternal figures through mentorship and care—mothers have been our always-on support systems. They are the ones who stayed up during our downtimes, who patched our bugs with bandages and advice, and who upgraded our courage every time life challenged us.

At SayPro, we believe in building inclusive, purpose-driven technology. And we also believe in recognising the people behind the scenes who shaped us into the leaders, creators, and thinkers we are. Many of us stand on the shoulders of women who put our future ahead of their own comfort.

So, to the mothers in our SayPro family—those who work here, those we love, and those we remember—thank you. You are the quiet algorithms behind our success. Your strength is the code that runs through every decision we make.

Today, let’s celebrate you with pride, with gratitude, and with the knowledge that everything we’re building is a reflection of the love and stability you’ve given us.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at SayPro.

Thank you.

by SayPro Chief Research Officer- Patricia Tsebe

Good [morning/afternoon], everyone.

It is with deep gratitude and warm affection that I welcome you all to this very special occasion—SayPro’s celebration of Mother’s Day.

Today, we pause not just to honor mothers in the traditional sense, but to recognize the extraordinary role that mothering plays in shaping our world—at home, in our communities, and even within our organization.

As Chief Research Officer, I spend much of my time immersed in data, evidence, and models. But even in research, one truth stands unshaken: the influence of a mother—biological or otherwise—is foundational to every aspect of human development. From the earliest nurturing moments to the quiet sacrifices made behind the scenes, mothers are our first teachers, our first leaders, and our most enduring champions.

At SayPro, we strive to create sustainable impact, build inclusive systems, and support innovation that empowers communities. Behind many of these success stories are women—mothers—who balance ambition and compassion, logic and love, discipline and hope.

We see it in our team members who start their mornings packing lunches and end their evenings reviewing budgets. We see it in our research participants, whose resilience fuels our insights. We see it in our leadership, where empathy and strategic foresight walk hand-in-hand.

Let us remember that mothering is not bound by biology. It is expressed through mentorship, through advocacy, through care for the next generation. So to every mother, stepmother, grandmother, aunt, foster parent, and guardian—and to every SayPro staff member who embodies these nurturing values—this day is for you.

On behalf of the Research Division, I want to thank you for the inspiration you bring to our work and the wisdom you carry into our future. We are not only better professionals because of you—we are better people.

Happy Mother’s Day to you all. May today remind you of how deeply you are appreciated and how vital your role is—not just in families, but in the very fabric of SayPro and the world we’re trying to build together.

Thank you.
