\u201cMother\u2019s Day is not really a day during which I focus on my role as a mum, but rather on that of my role as a daughter,\u201d says Algoa FM Breakfast Show presenter Lee Duru.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dedicate special attention to my own mother,\u201d says the multi-talented Duru, who has the lead role in a new sitcom and strives to strike a balance between her family and multiple professional lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother is the woman who laid the groundwork and set the tone for the type of parent I am today,\u201d says Duru.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Mother\u2019s Day, I try to show extra gratitude and acknowledgment for all she has done for me\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery sacrifice made and every memory created. I find that I appreciate and understand it all that much more now that I am a mum myself\u201d, says Duru.<\/p>\n

Speaking of herself as a mother, Duru manages her busy schedule with \u201ca lot of family support\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband, mum and sister help keep the wheels turning and, of course, I\u2019d be nowhere without my diary, year planner and endless lists\u201d!<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, my daughter Elah, is now a fully-fledged teenager and so making lunches, sorting uniforms and packing bags is a thing of the past \u2013 although I do have to cast a guiding eye once in a while\u201d.<\/p>\n

Duru says she is \u201cstrict\u201d about personal and family time, and emphasizes the importance of being selective and learning to say \u201cno\u201d to certain invitations.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost days start at 04:30 (depending on how many times I hit the snooze button)! At 06:00 I co-host the breakfast show and then from 09:00 I could have anything from meetings, to admin or brunch with a friend lined up\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy second work shift starts at around 16:30 when I start preparing dinner for the family.<\/p>\n

In between, Duru has ensured that as a freelancer she has multiple income streams\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI currently write for a TV show on SABC 2 called \u201cKarektas\u201d and am part of the development team for a docu-drama called \u201cKo Strateng\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also in front of the camera from time to time. In April I started filming a sitcom in Johannesburg to be aired on Moja Love, where I play the lead character\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also MC, am a public speaker as well as a social media influencer with various campaigns lined up for the year\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lee describes herself as an affectionate, protective, responsible, and reliable mother.<\/p>\n

She says she is a \u201cstraight-shooter who tells it like it is and keeps it real\u201d.<\/p>\n

Her approach to discipline is a combination of \u201cold school\u201d and modern. \u201cWhile my father was very strict and gave me several hidings growing up \u2013 modern-day parenting now calls for us to confiscate devices and talking about feelings!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy aim is and will always be to create a secure, nurturing home in which Elah can be spontaneous and feel loved\u201d.<\/p>\n
