On Mother’s Day, Sunday, 11 May, music lovers can join Mango Groove at the Durban Botanic Gardens to honour and celebrate mothers at the Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert.

“As a mother, this is one of the holidays that is nearest and dearest to my heart and I’m happy to spend it with moms and their families, at the garden,” commented Claire Johnston, Mango Groove lead vocalist.

The band’s unique flavour and majestic blend of native South African sounds, such as marabi and kwela, fused with contemporary and pop influences will fill the Durban Botanic Gardens. The mesh of the pennywhistle, the big brass arrangements, harmonies and gumboot rhythms overlaid with the angelic voice of Johnston results in a sound that is uniquely distinctive.

The Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert series has, in the past, brought world class acts and musicians that coin the word legend such as four time Grammy Award winners, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Clegg, and Mango Groove is no different.

“Mother’s Day is that extra special occasion we dedicate to pampering and spoiling our selfless caregivers. It is a celebration honouring mothers, motherhood, maternal bonds and their influence in society. We hope that all our mothers will enjoy the concert and their loved ones join them in making this a memorable occasion,” said Old Mutual sponsorship manager Bandile Mngoma.

The Old Mutual music concert series continues to contribute to the popularity of outdoor music venues in South Africa. The Music at the Lake initiative in 2014 will promote the appreciation of our plants and green heritage, and encourages young and old to value botanic gardens such as the Durban Botanic Gardens.

I love that my mom knows everything about me, she is my best friend and my rock and although she doesnt know it, she is very influential in my life. She knows when I am sad and even though I can deny it ’til I am blue in the face, she knows when something is wrong. She gets sympathy pains for me when I am injured and we are always connected. I love everything about my mom even when I dont like her. She is the best.

Mothers day is always a tough time for me as my mom passed away a few years ago. If i won these tickets, I would take my boyfriend’s mom as she has always had time for a chat, make dinner together. laugh and joke around and gives me advice when i need it most. this would be an amazing opportunity to show her how much she means to me.

I would like to win this for my dear friend Najmah, who has been an amazing mother to an adopted child who was diagnosed with ADHD back in 2012. Her dedication and commitment to help him with his behavioural and psychological issues day after day since then has been an inspiration to all of those around her. Because her work has taken the backseat she is now facing financial troubles, I hope this will make her day even more special.

gosh, my mom, we fought so much while i was growing up, and now that i am a mom, i realised im so much like her, which now makes me appreciate her even more than i ever did, there are times that im scolding my daughter and a little voice in my head says, u sound jus like ur mom, lol, and i smile. she lost her mom the year my daughter was born, and its been hard for her to know fall into the head of the family role, but she does a fantastic job, i would like to win this and would give her to go with her sister, as my aunt has also been like a second mom to me. they actually have been friends and moms to me.

I would so love to win and take my amazing Mom to enjoy a day off with one of her favourite bands. It is always a difficult time of the year for us since my Father passed away during this time so it would be great to have a day of fun with a great picnic and fab music 🙂

My Mother is the soul of my life and a true inspiration. Not being my maternal Mum, she never once hesitated to make me feel loved, cared for and truly special.

Mum, you still rock my world. Thank you for everything!
