South Africa’s Premier Motherhood Event Returns: Mom’s Day Off 2025 with Omuhle Gela

Mothers across South Africa are set to be celebrated at the highly anticipated Mom’s Day Off 2025, taking place on 25 October at The Fortress in Johannesburg. This year’s Wellness Edition not only places a spotlight on mental health and self-care but also aligns perfectly with World Mental Health Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

What Makes Mom’s Day Off 2025 Special

The event aims to create both a safe and empowering space where mothers can prioritise their well-being, while at the same time embracing self-care and connecting with others who share similar experiences. Now in its eighth edition, this wellness celebration has become not just an event but also a beacon of inspiration for women across South Africa.

Meet Your Mom’s Day Off 2025 Host and Speakers

Spearheaded by actress, model and entrepreneur Omuhle Gela, the series has built a loyal following by offering mothers and women multiple opportunities. Not only can attendees unwind and recharge in a supportive environment, but they can also engage with thought-provoking speakers on topics such as wellness, health, empowerment, and entrepreneurship.

This year’s lineup features inspiring voices who understand the journey of motherhood. The speakers include Sheryl Haynes, owner of Pilates One Studio, Coach Vee, a dedicated Women’s Fitness and Wellness Coach, and Mrs Mpumi Mops, a successful entrepreneur and media personality. Together, these women bring both expertise and authentic experience to the wellness conversation.

The Vision Behind This Wellness Movement

Omuhle Gela, born and raised in Johannesburg, is not only widely recognised for her roles in hit soap operas such as Muvhango and Uzalo but has also established herself as an entrepreneur. Through her luxury beauty brand, Ayanna Beauty Bar, as well as her role as the creative force behind this annual celebration, she continues to inspire mothers nationwide to embrace balance, self-love and strength.

“Mom’s Day Off is more than an event – it’s a movement dedicated to celebrating the resilience and brilliance of mothers. This year, we want to remind moms that their wellness matters and that self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
