It is Mandela Month and it is a time to honour the legacy of Father of the Nation, Nelson Mandela by turning compassion into action. Madiba believed that each of us has the power to make a difference, no matter how big or small the gesture. Throughout this month, we are shining a spotlight on ordinary people doing extraordinary work in our communities.

On Talk@7, we are profiling two organisations that are changing lives through service, hope and upliftment. First, we’ll chat with Romy Wenzel of the Clean Surf Project – an organisation creating awareness on the devastating cause of littering and the impact it has on our ocean life.

Later on the show, we’ll hear from Global chairman of Global Nutrition Initiative Minal Soni.
