" There’s only so much of money we can give, but we can give of ourselves and of our time... " - Azhar Vadi

Esteemed journalist and humanitarian of note, Azhar Vadi co-founded the independent broadcast agency Salaamedia with other likemindedaltruists, bringing together both of his life’s passions; philanthropic work and reporting of the truth. A bold, yet brave shift from traditional media platforms, Salaamedia justly pursues the accurate portrayal of Muslims in the news, advocating ‘humanitarian journalism’. 

Azhar calls Lenasia home. His early years were spent growing up in the poor, gang-infested and drug-plagued district of Greyville, in the south of Johannesburg. His family then moved to Extension 11 in the year 2000, where they still reside. Education formed an important part of this childhood since both his parents being teachers, although his father went on to become a parliamentarian. Azhar describes them as strong individuals who put their lives on the line during the anti-apartheid struggle. He recalls accompanying them to rallies and events as a young boy in the 1980’s, where they were often pursued by police and the state. Their fight for freedom and crusade for humanity are qualities which have inspired him throughout his own life. More info here
