Katleho Mallela is a young South African actress and producer of the play Ruined_Road to Fringe. At a young age she won a scholarship to go and study drama at the New York Film Academy in LA. When she was there she got frustrated by not seeing stories of black women being told. She then found a black playwright who wrote a play for her based on the war in Congo in the 60s and how women were raped and mistreated. This story resonated a lot with Katleho as it was very similar to everyday lived experiences of women in SA. The play was so well-received in the US that she decided to bring it back home to SA.

Katleho is currently working with a small team to create a campaign to create dialogue around femicide and gender-based violence. She is using her play and other forms of media to tell her story and encourage other women to tell their stories too.

What are the causes of gender-based violence (GBV) in SA? What is a group of young people doing to address the problem? Thola sat down with Siya and Luyolo the co-founders of an organization called #LangaForMen to discuss how they are addressing this scourge of violence against women in the community of KwaLanga, a township just outside of Cape Town. 
#LangaForMen not only addresses GBV,  they also sponsor sanitary towels to young girls who come from poverty-stricken households, run a soup kitchen, conduct health talks specifically targeting young men, and work with the police to find solutions against crime in the community. They are also getting ready to launch their own YouTube channel to address these issues. This group of young people do all of this work with small, inconsistent donations so if you feel called to assist in any way, please reach out to them directly on all social media platforms @langaformen. This would be highly appreciated.
