As the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign nears, South Africa will once again shed some light on the progress made in its efforts to combat gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF).

The campaign is commemorated annually from 25 November to 10 December. However, the success of this campaign rests on citizens’ daily individual and collective actions to safeguard the society against this cycle of abuse.

At least 40 000 disadvantaged youth in Gauteng are expected to get free learner’s licences, thanks to the provincial campaign themed “Wrong Side of the Road”.

This was made possible by the partnership between the Gauteng Provincial Government,  Diageo South Africa, the Department of Roads and Transport, and the Department of Economic Development.

Sisters Mo Morongwe Mokone and Michelle Mokone have elevated South Africa’s innovative décor scene by breaking into the lucrative United States of America (USA) market.

The pair are the co-owners of Mo’s Crib, a company that produces a range of handmade home décor products.  Their product range includes handwoven baskets, planters, trays, wall art and outdoor items.
