“A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.”

That's a quote you're likely to see pop up time and again on your social media feeds as people from around the world take some time to think about the selfless caregivers in their lives who held little hands and guided little feet.

At Maropeng (because, where better to celebrate motherhood than in the Cradle of Humankind?) we've got two very special events planned.
