Next up on the list ladies and gentlemen is none other than Black Coffee. The titleholder of the biggest Dj in Africa, this record producer didn’t just surprise his mother but his mother in law as well. For Mother’s Day in 2018, Black coffee, got Bongi Mlotshwa, his mother in law a brand new car.

Multitalented rapper, actress, presenter and reality star, Boity Thulo cannot be left behind. In 2019 and on her mother’s birthday, she surprised her mom with a beautiful and dazzling red Mercedes Benz.

Fifi Cooper- House


Most people dream of building their parents a pristine home. For singer, songwriter and rapper Fifi Cooper, this dream became a reality. Having just won the Best New Artist Award at the 15th Metro FM Awards, it soaked many when the artist announced that she would be using her cash prize of R300,000 to build her mother a home. You read that right.

What seemed to shock many even more was the fact that the prize of R300,000 was her biggest paycheck ever in her entire career. The selfless gesture touched the heart of not only her mother but of her fans around the world.
