The Just for a Change podcast is back with a brand new season to provoke and inspire! Presenting Season 4 of the Just for a Change podcast powered by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship which explores the theme “The Power of Connections”. The pursuit of social justice requires the effort of many, and in the work that the Bertha Centre does we have seen powerful intersections driving society towards positive change. In this new season, discussions with social entrepreneurs, innovators, thought leaders and activists spotlight the unexpected connections, surprising overlaps, and unusual alignments in the work being done locally and globally to uplift and empower our society. Topics range from getting a second chance at finishing high school, to research into recycling waste for agriculture, and the role representation plays in empowering communities. Among our guests are social entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, grassroots organisations, NPOs, impact investors, start-up founders with real stories of personal triumph and innovative problem-solving. Our podcast host Ntombini Marrengane, Bertha Centre’s Senior Manager, is an urban researcher and international development specialist.

S4, Ep.10 What do children’s stories have to do with social justice?

mercredi 11 septembre 2024Duration 36:22

What’s your favourite song? And do you remember the first book you read that you could personally relate to? Stories are powerful and are how we’ve connected with each other for millennia. The forms of storytelling may vary, but the impact doesn’t change.

Our guest for this episode, award-winning author Sihle-isipho Nontshokweni, knows the power of storytelling firsthand. With a Master's in Politics, she discovered children’s stories as a way to reach the younger generation with important messages of affirmation and inclusivity. Her most well-known children’s book, Wanda, is about a young girl learning to love her natural hair and embrace who she is.
We also hear from Sivuyile Mtwetwe, a young entrepreneur who participated in the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship and UCT’s Solution Space Changemaker Programme, a social entrepreneur who shares why he decided to create a prototype hair product made from local African ingredients.

The Bertha Centre is the first specialised centre in Africa dedicated to advancing social innovation and entrepreneurship and focuses on researching, educating, convening, catalysing and advocating for social, environmental and economic justice.

mercredi 4 septembre 2024Duration 32:57

Did you know that in 2021 about 2.1 million, or 11,6%, of South African households reported experiencing hunger? Food insecurity remains a major social justice issue in South Africa due to the country’s history of inequality. What if vulnerable communities could relearn the lost art of cultivating and growing their own food again?

Our guest for this episode, Renschia Manuel, founder of GrowBox Nursery, is showing local communities how to do just that, even in small spaces. Renschia has her own story of food insecurity and shares how she went from being unemployed to running a successful social enterprise which helps others gain food sovereignty. We also hear from Nicole Paganini, Programme Lead at Urban Food Futures, whose work in the area of food security has a special focus on women and children. She shares her thoughts on transforming food systems.
