The incredible selection of Lesego Nkuna as a competitor in the esteemed Mrs South Africa pageant marks a significant victory for South African family dynamics.
Her involvement as a mother of three in the prestigious contest speaks volumes about her unwavering dedication to empowering separated or divorced parents, inspiring them to not only be present but also actively contribute to their children’s lives in remarkable ways.
With recent shocking statistics from South Africa revealing that a staggering 68.7% of children born in the past two decades reside in single-parent households, Nkuna’s participation provides an unparalleled opportunity to reinforce the significance of responsible parenthood, particularly for single parents.
The ambitious entrepreneur maintains that responsible parenting transcends mere financial provision – it’s also about being emotionally invested and involved in children’s lives.
“I am genuinely humbled and honored to be chosen as a participant in Mrs South Africa,” expresses Nkuna. “This platform empowers me to amplify vital messages regarding responsible parenting, and I’m thrilled to embark on this incredible journey.”
“As a parent myself, I understand the challenges that come with raising children. I aim to utilize this opportunity to encourage fellow single parents never to give up and always prioritize their children.”
Nkuna is confident that her presence in this distinguished event can counter the stigma associated with single parenthood and emphasize the critical nature of co-parenting.
Her avid enthusiasm for responsible parenting and advocacy for co-parenting is contagious, and we eagerly await her utilization of this platform to magnify her message.
Asserting that work commitments should not be an excuse for negligent parenting, the thriving IT businesswoman states: “Being a successful entrepreneur, I recognize the need for striking that perfect balance between work and family life,” says Lesego Nkuna. “I wish to demonstrate that both realms can prosper together, fostering responsible parenting as the cornerstone of happy and healthy families.”
