The life of a working mom is not glitzy, even for celebrity mom actor Zola Nombona who finds herself on and off set ever so often.

It has been a busy season for Nombona between her role as a Foschini ambassador and her upcoming TV work.

For working moms, the idea of a “work-life balance” is almost non-existent and hard to navigate. So, when there was an opportunity to be on set for a Foschini Mother’s Day shoot with her three-year-old Cebelihle, it made work special. Chatting with us during her travels in France for work, Zola said: “I always make sure that I make time for my son as I physically cannot survive without spending time with him. My son heals me and strengthens me.

“Simply holding him makes me so happy. He gives me a feeling I cannot even begin to describe. He is the petrol that I need to keep my engine running.”
The birth of her son fuelled her ambition.

 

 

 
The 31-year-old actor said her son and motherhood have become a source of strength, inspiration, courage, and bravery in work.

“Motherhood has been a great elevation in my life. A journey that has led me to see the power inside of me.

“It has been something that has nourished me not only my personal growth but also those around me because of the beautiful development and change and transformation that has happened within me.”Often, mothers, especially those who find themselves buried in work, feel guilty for not being able to be present and spend time with their children.

Mom guilt refers to specific feelings of guilt mothers experience that make them feel unable to meet their children’s needs.To struggling moms, who are battling these feelings and having to keep up with the life balance, Zola said: “Our abilities are not the same, so we won’t do things the same way someone else does it”.

She added children were also not the same, so mothers, in their parenting styles, needed to be confident and open to learning more and asking questions.As innate as mothering may feel, it is okay not to know everything. The pressures of being a supermom are unhealthy.

“There is no right way to do it. Motherhood may be perceived as something innate, but it is a growing process for us because we do not know this little person [we are raising], and you [as a mom] are in the process of growing or always in a state of influx.”
She added:”A child is not raised by one person but raised by a community, and that can be your partner, your mothers and your family. Understand that you do not have to know everything and do it all by yourself.”

Asking for help isn’t a sign of defeat, but it helps you become better, nourished in your role as a mother.

Busiswa had seemingly disappeared from the face of the entertainment scene, leading some fans to speculate on what had become of her since the birth of her son.

In an interview on MetroFM’s The Touchdown show, Busiswa said she had struggled to come to terms with her new body following the birth of her son.“I went through a lot since Kgosi came onto this earth. I know a lot of people have been saying I’m quiet. I haven’t been feeling like making happy music. I have been making music and thank God I can do that all the time,” she said.

 

“But now I’m happier, I’m thinner, When my son was born I was at my heaviest and I wasn’t happy, I was performing because my songs were popping. The only thing that kept me going was my baby boy. Being a mom has elevated me. I want to be fit for myself.”Busiswa said she had sought therapy during her year-long hiatus from the music industry.

“I try to speak with my friends and my family, I went into therapy, and I use the gym also as a way to listen to my own thoughts. I spend a lot of time talking to my son as well. He surprises me when he talks about me or when we are sharing thoughts, he also gives me a lot of enlightenment,” she said.
