EDITORIAL | Women in SA do not exist: How we wish we could give them names instead of leaving them as statistics. They belonged to someone. They were mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, colleagues and neighbours. They had lives that extended beyond the circumstances in which we found them.

A call to come together!
South Africa continues to face the devastating scourge of gender-based violence. The recent multiple murders in our country have left communities grieving, anxious and searching for spaces of collective expression, solidarity and healing. The Women’s jail at Constitution Hill, once stood as a symbol of oppression and brutality to women, it stands today as a symbol of feminine resilience and echoes the strong voices of Powerful Women.
Act in solidarity and gather on 25 September from 12 to 2pm at The Women’s Jail at ConHill. PLEASE share your message of support for us to share far and wide in the link here: https://t.co/NaiAHybgPV

YAMUA THABONG: BUILDING THE FUTURE FROM THE GROUND UP ✊🏿⚽
Sometimes building a movement is not about meetings, workshops or speeches.
Sometimes it is simply about creating a space where young people can play, belong and imagine something different.
On 29 August, the YAMUA Thabong Branch Executive Committee brought young people together for a community sports tournament, games and fun.
But behind the fun was a serious purpose: keeping young people positively engaged, strengthening teamwork and giving children an alternative to the drugs, crime and street life that too often fill the spaces left by unemployment, poverty and neglect.
This is what grassroots organising can look like. It starts long before someone becomes an activist. It starts by building relationships, creating community and showing young people that they matter.
YAMUA exists because young people in mining-affected communities should not simply inherit the inequalities and environmental destruction of previous generations.
They must have the organisation, confidence and collective power to shape a different future. ✊🏿🔥

A huge salute to the YAMUA Thabong BEC for taking the initiative, and to every young person who came out to play, laugh and participate.
We are not only organising for the youth. We are organising with them, because the future belongs to them. ✊🏿🔥

OPINION | When inclusion becomes a headline: The transformation agenda must look beyond visible forms of diversity and recognise the untapped potential of neurodivergent people.
