Today we shine the light on the impactful work of the Dr Tshenuwani Farisani Foundation, a beacon of hope and empowerment.

Founded in 2020 and formally launched in 2022, this non-profit organization, registered under South African law, is driven by the legacy of its Patron, Dr Tshenuwani Simon Farisani.

A stalwart in the fight against apartheid, from enduring brutal detentions and torture to serving as a spokesperson for the ANC abroad, his journey underscores the Foundation's mission to create socio-economic development and advocacy for the marginalized in Limpopo and beyond.

The Foundation's vision is to cultivate an enabling environment for socio-economic growth, championing education, support for orphans and vulnerable children, and being a voice for the oppressed.

The Foundation has launched numerous initiatives, including supporting Dzindi Primary School's computer academy and aiding VBS bank heist victims.

UNSUNG HERO: Dr Tshenuwani Farisani Foundation champions education and support for orphans

The leading feminist non-profit in the anti-GBV space, Gender Rights in Tech - GRIT (formerly Kwanele-Bringing Women Justice), uses innovative tech solutions to enhance access to support and justice for survivors.

At the heart of GRIT lies a deeply personal mission rooted in tragedy, in 2020 the founder's 19-year-old niece, nine months pregnant, lost her life due to Gender-Based Violence.

Abandoned without support or evidence for justice, this heart-wrenching incident became the catalyst for the birth of GRIT and the revolutionary GRIT mobile app.

Driven by the belief that technology can be a force for good, GRIT aims to break down barriers survivors face in reporting violence and achieving justice, ensuring that more voices are heard and experiences acknowledged.

This rebranding from Kwanele, which means "enough" in isiXhosa, to GRIT reflects the resilience and strength of survivors navigating the South African justice system.

  We talk to Leonora Tima, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of GRIT - Gender Rights in Tech (formerly Kwanele Bringing Women Justice).
