The Angel Network invites South Africans to unite and support Alison Botha as she faces challenges following her critical brain aneurysm, ensuring she receives the essential care and assistance she needs.

Johannesburg, South Africa (22 October 2024) – Alison Botha’s story is one of unwavering courage and resilience. In 1994, she defied death’s grasp, surviving a traumatic ordeal with a spirit that continues to inspire millions.

Now, Alison faces another formidable challenge: a life-threatening brain aneurysm that has left her with ongoing medical challenges.

Good Things Guy recently shared the news about Alison’s latest health battle, shocking many South Africans who have already rallied to support her.

The Angel Network, a nonprofit organisation that works to alleviate poverty and social injustice, has launched a crowdfunding campaign on BackaBuddy to support Alison Botha, a woman whose life epitomises survival and resilience.

The campaign aims to raise R200,000 to cover her medical expenses as she faces significant health challenges following a life-threatening brain aneurysm.

To add to her difficulties, it is reported that the parole release of her attackers in July 2023 has reignited emotional trauma. Without medical aid and unable to work, Alison faces a heavy emotional and financial burden.

The Angel Network invites everyone to stand with Alison during this challenging time and to reach deep into their pockets to support a woman whose bravery has defied great and undeserved odds.

Alison’s attorney, Tania Koen, describes her condition as extremely serious. Following her discharge, she will need round-the-clock care, dramatically changing her life.

Alison has spent years empowering others with her story of survival. Now, it is SA’s turn to stand by her.

By donating to Alison’s cause, you are not just contributing financially; you are sending a powerful message of solidarity and hope.

Visit the Alison Botha BackaBuddy page to make a donation.

Like many of us, Liezel van der Westhuizen has experienced setbacks, moments when her confidence wavered and her insecurities were too loud to bear. She shared a glimpse into her lows and how resilience has propelled her to success.

Cape Town, South Africa (18 October 2024) – It may be hard to imagine, but just like many of us, South African keynote speaker and media personality Liezel van der Westhuizen has had her fair share of challenges in life, knocking her confidence and halting her momentum.

We often place public figures on a glamorous pedestal, forgetting that they, too, experience difficulties while navigating this turbulent journey called life.

In a recent post, Liezel bravely opened up about how experiencing negative media attention and hurtful comments from those she trusted tested her resolve, but she refused to be defeated.

“I had to remind myself that I am enough and I am winning,” she wrote.

Liezel further shared her insights into the power of resilience and how it was the key ingredient to her success despite feelings of wanting to throw in the towel.

Insecurities about her height and appearance were also a huge stumbling block that took a long time to overcome.

“I’m a tower of power, enthusiasm, experience, and resilience now…but it hasn’t always been this way. Getting teased about my height in my formative years, really left a mark.

“My hair, my way of dressing, how I speak, and how I stand, have been broken down and critiqued until I felt smaller than an ant.”

Despite wanting to crawl into a hole and disappear, Liezel chose to stand tall and continue to put herself out there.

“Resilience, in people, refuses to be extinguished. It pushed me to put myself out there – baby steps first, but eventually striding with confidence.”

Having emerged stronger on the other side, Liezel encourages South Africans to see setbacks as essential for growth. And that by learning, adapting, and soaring, they can truly thrive.

“Never lose sight of who you are and what makes you unique. Let resilience be your guiding light, navigating you through challenges,” Liezel encourages.

With a heart full of compassion, Theresa registered as a potential stem cell donor by chance after attending an event, never dreaming of the profound impact her decision would have on a desperate patient months later.

Cape Town, South Africa (17 October 2024) – Theresa never imagined that a simple act of curiosity at a Cape Town Carols event in 2022 would lead to her saving a life.

Theresa, a Cape Town mom of twins, met a donor recruiter from DKMS Africa, a non-profit organisation dedicated to saving lives through blood stem cell donations.

Far from the stressful process she’d imagined it would be, Theresa was put at ease about what being a stem cell donor entailed and went ahead to put her name down.

A few months after registering, Theresa was found to be a match for a patient in need of a life-saving transplant- a call she answered with no hesitation, DKMS shares.

Expressing excitement and gratitude at finding out she was a perfect match for a patient, her message to other potential donors is simple:

“Someone out there is waiting on you, and you could be their only hope. It’s an easy process, far easier than you’d expect. The idea of helping someone in such a simple way made the decision effortless,” she shares.

A blood cancer diagnosis is a shock and often marks the start of a race against time. Many patients’ only chance of survival is to find a matching blood stem cell donor as fast as possible.

“In a world where we should all look out for each other, this is a great way to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, and their family,”  compassionate Theresa adds.

DKMS encourages individuals aged 17 to 55 to register and help patients in need. For more information, visit dkms-africa.org or call 0800 12 10 82.

From pet food donations to monetary contributions, the Kloof and Highway SPCA has been overwhelmed by the generosity of the community which has made their invaluable work possible.

Kloof, South Africa (17 October 2024) – With a heart filled with thanksgiving, the Kloof and Highway SPCA recently took to social media to thank its selfless supporters for continuously pouring into their cup.

The animal rescue recently acknowledged and thanked everyone who generously donates to their worthy cause which serves as a lifeline to countless animals in need.

“Often those who donate and help the most never ask for a ‘thank you’. We want you to know how much we appreciate your support always,” the organisation said.

The SPCA’s staff and volunteers have also been working tirelessly to spruce up the space and tea garden, creating a haven for animals, a place where they can find love, care, and a second chance at life.

“Our dog walkers have ensured that our goats have an enrichment area, and some volunteers helped do a garden in our Village Green.

“We have also had some wonderful students come and do community service and help us too. Donated plants are sold in our nursery, and your unwanted donated goods keep our charity shops stocked.”

Whether it be through donating unwanted household goods, pet food, volunteering or monetary donations, none of these developments would be possible without the generosity and kindness of animal lovers who don’t think twice about supporting the incredible work of assisting vulnerable animals.

To learn more about how you can support the Kloof and Highway SPCA call 031 764 1212.

Despite their crucial role in ensuring the safety of vehicles in parking lots, many carguards receive little to nothing for their honest work. A small tip can go a long way in improving their lives, many of whom have to endure long hours under challenging conditions.

South Africa (15 October 2024) – We see them nearly every day, whether we’re rushing to the store to stock up on weekly groceries or heading to the mall for a weekend outing with family and friends. They’re always in the parking lot, ready to help you manoeuvre into a tight parking space or lend a hand with your trolley.

Car guards are the unsung heroes of our parking lots, tirelessly protecting our vehicles. Despite placing our trust in their care, we often overlook the challenges they face.

A Good Things Guy reader recently shared how she was appalled to see about 30 cars leaving a Cape Town shopping centre with only about four drivers tipping the local car guard. This is despite him having helped them with their trolleys and parking.

Upon having a word with the kind man, she came to learn that was a typical day’s work for him. He also isn’t paid a salary by the shopping centre and therefore relies solely on the tips of shoppers to get by.

The woman also discovered that he’d tried to find another job, but as a foreigner, it was difficult for him to secure work.

Much like this car guard, this is a disheartening reality for hundreds if not thousands of car guards across the country.

According to a BusinessTech survey that had 4,911 respondents, just under half (43%) indicated that they tip around R5. Just over a quarter (26%) indicated that they tip R2, while 10% of the participants indicated that they tip R10 or more.

Now, this is not to make anyone feel bad. But can you imagine having to survive on such small change, nevertheless supporting a family?

These relentless men and women wake up every morning with the hope that they will make just enough to make ends meet.

Hopefully, this can serve as some food for thought and a little nudge to spare a few extra rands to give to the man or woman in your rearview mirror.

Your generosity could provide them with an extra loaf of bread, some money for their child’s school shoes, or just a sandwich to help them get through a long (and, at most times, thankless) day’s work under the gruelling sun or harsh winds while they watch over your precious car.

In a moment that will forever be etched in her memory, 18-year-old Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg was crowned Miss World South Africa 2024. The champion for change is eager to use her newfound platform to inspire others and advocate for important social causes.

Sun City, South Africa (10 October 2024) – At just 18 years old, Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg has made history as the second-ever Miss World South Africa titleholder.

The digital and marketing executive impressed the judges with her Beauty with a Purpose project, Never Too Young to Advocate (NTYTA), a digital platform focused on creating global visibility as well as audibility for the youth.

Zoalize has officially commended her duties as Miss World South Africa and will further represent the country at the 72nd Miss World pageant in February 2025.

As Zoalize embarks on her journey as Miss World South Africa, she hopes to inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter how daunting the challenges may seem.

Reflecting on her major triumph, not only for herself but for her country as well, Zoalize said that entering the pageant was a second chance for herself. She felt honoured and blessed to be named Miss World South Africa and hopes that she can inspire anyone who may have felt like giving up on a dream.

“Don’t ever let anyone tell you that it is not possible as your Miss World South Africa, I will continue to remind our people that in the midst of adversity and uncertainty, you have to remember that you are here for a reason.

“Start where you are, work with what you have, and use your unique talents to be the enabler to your own version of success. When you lead with that feeling in your heart that motivates you to keep going despite anything that is called purpose. Tap into that and push yourself to be in the rooms and spaces you want to be in,” Zoalize wrote in a post.

Zoalize considers herself a living testimony that the art of achieving what you desire starts with a will to never give up.

The rising star has decided to step away from her marketing role to focus solely on her responsibilities as Miss World South Africa.

Her goal is to fully commit herself to her new platform, where she will work to raise awareness about important social issues and initiatives that support the youth.

Through its recent community event, the KZN Cycling Development Trust brought joy and the opportunity to thrive in the sport of cycling to the young people of Mpumalanga township and eThekwini.

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (09 October 2024) – Sport is not only fun and a great way to stay active, but it can also play a crucial role in helping youth in underserved communities. It can be instrumental in helping them foster healthy relationships, develop their skills, as well as open doors to a wealth of opportunities that they might otherwise miss out on.

Operating from this perspective is the KZN Cycling Development Trust, which invited 200 young riders from Mpumalanga township as well as riders from the eThekwini Mini Hubs programme to participate in a community event at Zaminhlanhla Primary School recently.

Supported by their families and community leaders, the youth enjoyed the thrill of cycling together and healthy competition. The top-performing riders were included in an HP training camp the following day.

Through such initiatives, the KZN Cycling Development Trust not only introduces young riders to the sport but also identifies talented riders who are then trained to graduate to a Higher Performance Squad.

This squad receives additional and more focused coaching, which prepares them to compete in a variety of high-level events – ultimately paving the way for a brighter future for our youth!

“As these riders improve, they will start to be exposed to more regular mainstream competition, and who knows, the next world beater may have started their journey this weekend,” the trust said in a post.

If you’ve ever wondered how deep a mother’s love and resilience runs, Sibongile’s story is a great place to start. Faced with raising a child with osteogenesis imperfecta, she not only overcame challenges in finding adequate support, but she also drew inner strength from her hardships.

Cape Town, South Africa (09 October 2024) – The prospect of becoming a mother and the thrill of welcoming a new life into the world is an indescribable experience.

However, when that little life arrives with unexpected challenges, it can be a deeply daunting adjustment. Something that Sibongile knows all too well.

The resilient mother to a precious little girl named Leona chose to turn the anxiety of raising a child with osteogenesis imperfecta into strength and courage.

Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic or heritable disease in which bones fracture (break) easily, often with no obvious cause or minimal injury.

According to The Chaeli Campaign, Sibongile experienced challenges in caring for Leona, including a long search for support. However, she grew stronger and found hope.

“My perspective of life changed. I became a strong, bold, and courageous woman,” she reflects.

Thanks to The Chaeli Campaign, Leona received a wheelchair, giving her the freedom to attend check-ups and participate in family activities.

Sibongile continues to pay this forward by facilitating workshops and encouraging people with disabilities to live full, active lives.

“My advice to other parents is to advocate for your child and surround yourself with supportive communities.”

Her inspiring story and those of many other parents of children with disabilities have been shared in the Chaeli Campaign’s book, Champions of Inclusion.

The book, created for the organisation’s 20th birthday, hopes to inspire individuals to embrace inclusivity and celebrate the unique qualities of every person.

A simple act of collecting reusable shopper bags to fill with nutritious food and treats not only provided sustenance but also brought joy and a sense of belonging to the learners of the Thandulwazi Maths and Science Academy Saturday School.

Johannesburg, South Africa (08 October 2024) – An initiative born out of a desire to help students struggling to get nourishing food has become a cornerstone of St Stithians Girls’ College‘s community outreach efforts.

The college’s most recent and heartwarming initiative saw it appealing to parents to kindly donate spare Woolies black shopper bags to be used for a really great cause.

The college managed to collect 300 bags, which were repurposed to make goodie bags for the children who attend the Thandulwazi Maths and Science Academy Saturday School at the college campus.

According to St Stithians Girls’ College, the children who attend the academy mostly come from disadvantaged backgrounds, which compelled parents to establish a feeding scheme that usually feeds about 1,000 children on Saturdays so that they are not hungry in the classrooms.

“It made no sense that this was happening right under our noses on our own campus and so the GC PTA began a feeding initiative where each grade from Grade 8-12 was responsible for a Saturday.

“It has been the most humbling experience ever! And has since rolled out in the other schools on campus including the Boys Prep and Girls Prep),” shares Samantha Nupen, St Stithians Girls College PTA Thandulwazi Rep.

More recently, only 300 learners were planned to attend the Saturday classes, which fell during the school holidays in September.

As part of the Heritage Day celebrations, the college wanted to do a little something extra special for the learners by creating goodie bags.

“We didn’t want the kids to have to leave the festivities to get lunch, so we filled the collected Woolies bags with a sandwich, juice, chips, fruit, sweets etc.,” says Nupen.

The Thandulwazi Maths and Science Academy was created in 2005, a pioneering initiative of St Stithians College to provide educational growth opportunities for students and teachers based in public schools in greater Johannesburg.

Head of Thandulwazi, Mr Velaphi Gumbi, said the event was a resounding success, commending the meticulous planning by the Head, PTA and the Girls’ College community.

“The dignified packaging and distribution of refreshments to our students were particularly noteworthy and truly embodied the spirit of belonging and inclusivity that the Heritage Day Celebration aimed to promote.

“We express our sincerest gratitude to the PTA and girls for being at Corlette Gate for the distribution. Your efforts have not only provided our students with a memorable experience but have also reinforced the values of Ubuntu and cultural appreciation. It was special for all of us,” a grateful Gumbi said.

A small KZN town, Howick, is home to a community with a big heart! The town is being transformed by the unwavering spirit of a community group called Love Howick, which is committed to uplifting its people and the place they call home.

Howick, South Africa (08 October 2024) – Donned in red and bursting with positive vibes, the KZN-based Love Howick community group celebrated eight years of sheer dedication to working together to uplift their community.

For eight years, these dedicated individuals have been working tirelessly to address the pressing social issues facing their community, from poverty and unemployment to environmental degradation.

To mark the special occasion, the group launched Red Socks Friday and held a Love Howick Red Run over the weekend, which was greatly supported by members and supporters of their mission.

The fun run at Piggly Wiggly Midlands was a vibrant event that brought together residents, businesses, and supporters to celebrate their shared commitment to the town.

In keeping with the birthday festivities, Love Howick’s month-long Red Socks Friday initiative invites the public to pick a Friday this month and get your friends, family, colleagues or whoever to wear red socks for just R10 per person. All donations will directly support the 2024 Lidgeton Sizakancane Senior Citizen Centre Project.

It is just one of the team’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness and funds in combating poverty, unemployment, and environmental degradation, all while celebrating Love Howick’s 8th Birthday Month!

A love rooted in community

Love Howick’s commitment to its community is evident in its various initiatives, including the EduProject and Dream Centre, which aim to promote skills development and education.

The group has also been instrumental in beautifying the Howick area through clean-ups, recycling initiatives, and mural paintings.

Their dedication, passion, and collective action have made a significant difference in the lives of many.

“Love Howick wouldn’t be here without the incredible people, businesses, and volunteers who have stood by our side through the years.

“Together, we have made an incredible impact in our community, and we look forward to many more years of driving change and making Howick a better place for all,” the group said.
