5 Mid Mornings

An organisation based in KZN, Take Me To Tertiary helps inspire highschoolers for tertiary. We are joined by the founder and CEO, Ayanda Zikhali for a conversation about the impact of the organisation on the communities it works in as well as how Mzansi can join forces and amplify this mission.

Inkosi Ivumile Community Organization is intentional about their focus on Teenage Pregnancy and GBV and we find out more about those programmes from the Founder and Director Ntombi Jacisa. We also learn about the importance of breaking the generational chains of GBV and how that can better impact South African families.

Founder and Project Manager at Ukhamba, Nthato Korolosi joins us for a conversation about the core values of the organisation and a strong belief in nurturing the talent found in communities. This Heritage Month, Nthato reminds us that our communities have many interconnected needs and how Ukhamba seeks to meet those needs with the programmes and offerings.

Amber-Rose Berry is an 18-year-old open-water swimmer from Pringle Bay, near Cape Town, who has just made history as the youngest South African woman to swim the English Channel. She completed the gruelling 33km crossing from England to France in an unofficial time of 10 hours and 27 minutes, battling cold water, strong currents, jellyfish stings and exhaustion along the way.
