Mother Receives Late Daughter’s Degree at DUT Graduation 🎓🌸

What should have been a day full of joy turned into a moment of deep sorrow and unshakable love.

During a recent graduation ceremony at the Durban University of Technology (DUT), a grieving mother walked across the stage — not for herself, but on behalf of her late daughter, who tragically passed away just before reaching this long-awaited milestone.

With every step, she carried not just the degree, but the dreams, hard work, and memory of her child.

📸 The moment touched hearts all across South Africa, reminding us all that a mother’s love never dies — it carries on through the most heartbreaking moments, shining as a symbol of strength and grace. 🕊️
