Kilimanjaro may be Africa’s highest mountain, but for girls without reliable access to menstrual products, education and safe facilities, simply staying in school can present another kind of uphill battle.

Africa Melane is in discussion with Liezel van der Westhuizen, a fitness presenter, endurance athlete, and burnout and mental fitness coach to explore the Flow Forward Africa Kilimanjaro initiative and how an extraordinary physical challenge is being used to start a much bigger conversation about period poverty, menstrual dignity and access to education. 

Early Breakfast with Africa Melane is 702’s and CapeTalk’s early morning talk show. 

Experienced broadcaster Africa Melane brings you early morning news, sports, and business, with in-depth interviews featuring politicians and analysts to help make sense of the world. He also enjoys conversations with guests from the lifestyle and arts spheres.
