Mandela Day


Every 18 July, the world remembers and celebrates the legacy of Nelson Mandela by dedicating 67 minutes of the day to changing the world, or doing something charitable for others. The 67 minutes is in honour of the 67 years of his life that he gave to liberating South Africa from racial inequality and oppression.

His work is far from being over; there are still inequalities and injustices around the world. Hopefully, through his example, more people would be inspired to make a change. Aluta Continua.

Big Brother Mzansi Season 2




The second season of Big Brother South Africa (Mzansi), of BBM, has come and gone, with the live finale this past Sunday. Congratulations to the winners, Ace and Ntombi who walked away with R2 million rand after 58 days in the house. 


But the couple that stood out to us and millions of others across the country were Blue and K2 aka The Royal Couple. They are representative of a new generation of South Africans who are hard-working and ambitious. K2 can arguably be called the master-mind of the BBM2 game. Blue was able to keep her dignity and focus through the season, despite the numerous attacks by other participants and from some audience members. They came second-place, but we are certain this experience has created a platform for them that would do much more than money can. They have won the hearts of many people and many opportunities will open up to them to create lasting careers and reputations in the careers of their choice.
Blue is a professional model and public relations professional. 
K2 is an aspiring and talented rapper. 

Follow them on their social media accounts:

We Are Africa


Namibia

Swakopmund
Mongolia is the least densely populated country in the world, and Namibia, in Southern Africa, is a close second with about 2 million people in the country. The country's vast and unique natural beauty has earned it the nickname of 'Gem of Africa'.

A majority Muslim country in North Africa, Morocco has a growing women's biker culture. This sub-culture favours individuality, attitude, and an eccentric fashion aesthetic.

We Are Africa

Ethiopia



Ethiopia is the only African country to have never been colonised. It is also famous for its coffee, as the headquarters for the African Union, and for Haile Selassi who is the spiritual leader of Rastafarians around the world. It also has its own calendar and one of the oldest alphabets still in use today.
