Zoleka Mandela has her hands full with being a full-time mom, housekeeper and student. But whenever she feels overwhelmed she remembers the sacrifices her mother and grandmother made.

The granddaughter of struggle icons Nelson and Winnie Mandela is currently studying for a psychology degree and gave fans a glimpse of her busy schedule.

Taking to Instagram, the star revealed that she is currently juggling watching the kids, housework and studying for her exams next month, all while trying to stick to her diet.

  • Twitter set alight after Bonang drags ‘trash’ SAATV personality Bonang Matheba found her name on the trends list on Wednesday after the star publicly criticised South African Airlines, labelling the carrier "trash".  

Such a schedule would overwhelm the best of us but Zoleka said that she has a trick to calm her and put everything into perspective.

"When it feels like it's all getting too much I think about how my grandmother and mother studied under harsher circumstances, so not having a nanny or a helper to assist me as I try to juggle it all simply pales in comparison," she revealed.

  • Damn, guurl! Sade Giliberti has major booty gameWhere have you been hiding that ass? Former YoTV presenter Sade Giliberti was in Jamaica recently to celebrate her 30th birthday and besides the epic shots of the vaycay, it was her booty that stole the show. 

She said that this often leads to her counting her other blessings.

"I have my life that I am always thankful for (nothing makes me more happy than being a full time, hands on mother and wife), I'm still clean and sober, finally completing my degree, finally done with chemotherapy and radiation, I'm cancer free ... breathing and I'm a damn woman- there is nothing that we can't do!" she added.
