Our Making Lives Better CSI campaign is receiving tremendous support from you as we endeavour to assist the vulnerable in our community. We have an update from Deshni, whose family was Covid positive, and she humbly appealed for food and medication. We also hear from Rumba, who desperately needed diapers for her 11-year old paraplegic grandson.

We are adding some FIRE to your FRIDAYs, with our spicy feature, The HOT SEAT. Today’s guest is fresh from a great performance in the Momentum One Day Cup SA cricket Senuran Muthusamy

We chat with Senior Vaccine Research Scientist at WITS, Associate Prof Marta Nunes to get some answers...
