Cardiovascular health is something we need to pay far more attention to in South Africa. It is the number one cause of death in the country. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of South Africa, while 80% of heart disease and strokes can be prevented, 225 people die of heart related illnesses and complications every day.
Why are townships at the end of the queue when it comes to facilities that cater for cardiovascular illnesses?

Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng started her education under a tree and had to walk up to 10km just to get to school. Today, she is a full professor in mathematics education and she is also the vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town.
Perhaps foretelling good fortune, Phakeng was born still in her amniotic sac, in a Catholic clinic in Eastwood, Pretoria, on November 1, 1966.
Her mother, Wendy, was a domestic and factory worker, while her father Frank was a radio announcer at the SABC.
After giving birth to Phakeng and her siblings, Wendy went back to school and finished her studies so she could work as a teacher.

Is the South African advertising industry in sync with consumers and the cultural diversity that we have in South Africa? Hardly a year goes by without South Africans being upset and offended by a new advert that has hit the billboards and the TV screens.

Following the #SONA19 many South Africans noted that President Cyril Ramaphosa didn’t say much about those living with disabilities/ the disability sector in his address.
