Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage.

On Sakhisizwe today, we were joined by Marlow Valentine-Newman - Deputy Director of the Triangle Project. Marlow brought along Eugene Mathews and Javin Jagers , who shared their experience of coming out as gay men.

Furthermore stigma, homophobia and discrimination may unfortunately continue to be present in a young gay, lesbian or bisexual person’s life.
