Beyond her professional life, Tshabalala is described as a mother, wife, sister, friend and daughter, as well as a public speaker.

Her story of reinvention, faith and purpose is expected to contribute another dimension to the conversations at this year’s gathering.
The organisers say the event will continue to create a space where mothers can step away from their everyday responsibilities, connect with other women and take time for themselves.
The first edition included wellness elements, including complimentary massages provided to some guests by LaSante Spa, adding a practical self-care component to the day’s programme. Organisers have indicated that wellness and self-care will remain part of the experience as the event develops.
The second edition is therefore being positioned not simply as another event on the calendar, but as an intentional pause for mothers.
The programme is expected to include more relatable conversations, wellness and self-care moments, opportunities for connection and surprises aimed at making mothers feel recognised and appreciated.
With the date now announced and Tshabalala and Dlamini confirmed as the first speakers revealed, anticipation is beginning to build around what the 2027 edition will bring.
For mothers who attended the inaugural gathering, the return of Mom’s Day Out offers another opportunity to reconnect with the community created during the first edition. For newcomers, it presents an invitation to experience a space centred on motherhood while also recognising the women behind the role.
