Her patients call her an angel, a hero and even a second mother. Sister Dolly Mofokeng’s name is spreading across South Africa for the purest reason of all… love.
Ekurhuleni, South Africa (14 October 2025) – Sometimes, one person’s kindness can ripple through countless lives… and that’s exactly what’s happening right now with a nurse from the Far East Rand Hospital Antenatal Clinic. Her name is Sister Dolly Mofokeng and she’s going viral for all the right reasons.
A Facebook post about Sister Dolly has been flooded with love, gratitude and tears of appreciation from people whose lives she’s touched. She’s not a celebrity, not a public figure… just a woman doing her job with extraordinary heart. But to the hundreds of mothers she’s helped, she’s so much more than that.
“I’d rather lose my job than live with the guilt of your child dying.”
One of the most shared stories came from Lebohang Mahlangu, who remembers Sister Dolly’s bravery and compassion vividly.
“There was confusion about my due date. The doctor said I was far from giving birth, but when Sister Dolly checked, she realised I should’ve already given birth. She told me, ‘I’m admitting you because I’d rather lose my job than live with the guilt of your child dying.’”
Lebohang gave birth to a healthy baby girl and says she’ll never forget the woman who refused to ignore her instincts.
“She has a heart of gold,” she wrote. “She served us with love.”
Arabile Mokwena described Sister Dolly as “the best… actually incredible.” When her baby stopped moving, Dolly didn’t hesitate. She personally took Arabile to the doctor, monitored her, and made sure she was booked for a C-section.
“She even showed kindness to my husband,” Arabile added. “I have no words to thank her. She is wonderful. May God continue to bless her.”
“Her kindness is out of this world.”
For Kaymie Zwayne, Sister Dolly’s care went beyond medicine.
“She’s the reason I made it with my baby. Her kindness is out of this world. She’s calm, fun and kind-hearted and those songs she made us sing during pregnancy are still working! My six-month-old loves them.”
“She made antenatal visits feel like home.”
Confy Mokubung summed up what so many mothers have said:
“When we talk about someone who loves what they do, we talk about Sister Dolly. She made antenatal visits feel like home with her kindness, humour and friendly conversations.”
“Even those who’ve never met her feel inspired.”
Perhaps the most powerful proof of Sister Dolly’s impact comes from people like Kabelo Lebereko, who commented simply…
“I don’t know her, never met her, but I’m inspired to hear that there are such amazing people out there.”
This wave of love shows what happens when compassion meets courage, when someone truly cares. Sister Dolly’s story reminds us that everyday heroes don’t wear capes; they wear scrubs, offer comfort and make life-changing decisions out of love.
In a country that often feels heavy with headlines, stories like these remind us that goodness is still alive, often found in the quiet halls of hospitals, where people like Sister Dolly Mofokeng are making miracles happen every single day.
Thank you, Sister Dolly, for giving us all the feels today.
