This Women’s Day, and all through Women’s Month, we’re celebrating the extraordinary women shaping our continent’s future.

Meet Aipa Grace, a transformative leader from Kenya’s pastoral Turkana region. As a girl, her family planned to end her education and marry her off early. Instead, she earned a Bachelor’s in Agricultural Education and Extension at Egerton University through a Mastercard Foundation and RUFORUM TAGDev scholarship.

Today she champions girls’ education and has trained around 450 pastoral farmers — most of them women — in climate-smart agriculture, helping them grow sustainable, profitable crops in the face of the climate crisis.

Throughout Women’s Month, we’ll be highlighting some of the other exceptional women we’ve had the privilege of interviewing over the years. Watch this space.

Watch the trailer for the film, A Pathway Towards Education Transformation in Makhanda — The 9/10ths Story.
It follows Rhodes University’s 9/10ths Mentoring Programme, which pairs student mentors with Grade 12 learners from no-fee schools in Makhanda — opening the doors of university to young people who were told it wasn’t meant for them.

Happy Youth Day. 🇿🇦

Today we’re sharing the 9/10ths Story — Rhodes University’s mentoring programme that pairs student mentors with Grade 12 learners from no-fee schools in Makhanda, opening up university to young people who never imagined it was meant for them.

It’s just one of many inspiring stories we’ve had the privilege of bringing to life. All week, in honour of Youth Day, we’ll be spotlighting some of the extraordinary organisations working to grow and uplift the next generation — and how moved we are to play a part in telling their stories.

We had the privilege of partnering with St Andrew’s College Grahamstown for their 175 Giving Day, a 36-hour campaign with a target of R5 million.

They didn’t just hit the target. 2,000 donors. R11.2 million raised. More than double the goal.

This is what happens when powerful storytelling meets a passionate community. The right video, told the right way, moves people to act and these numbers prove it.

To every donor, parent, old Andrean and supporter who gave: your generosity built something extraordinary.

To the St Andrew’s College team: it was an honour to help carry this story.

This is what we do, we help schools, institutions and organisations mobilise their communities through video that connects, inspires and drives real impact.

Wow....what a year.As we wind down, we’ll be reflecting and sharing a few highlights from the projects that shaped 2025. But for now, here’s a glimpse behind the scenes from a recent shoot.

One of our exciting collaborations this year was with New York–based production company None Other, documenting how Daily Maverick is using AI to strengthen journalism. Commissioned by a major AI player, the project explored how DM harnesses technology to deepen reader engagement, push back against disinformation, and increase newsroom efficiency.

Big thanks to the wonderful team who made this all possible.

Congratulations to our storytelling partners, the DAR team at Stellenbosch University - winning big at last week’s MACE Excellence Awards! The team took home three awards - one for our Maties: Legends and Pioneers documentary series now streaming on Showmax.

This is a fantastic achievement!
What strikes us most about this success is how it speaks volumes about what happens when storytelling partners are given the time and space to truly understand an institution’s DNA. The shift from documentary producers as vendors to strategic, valued partners over time makes all the difference.

These wins at the Marketing Advancement and Communication in Education (MACE) Excellence Awards are no small feat - they suggest that the work put story first and did its job to drive audience engagement. There’s no comparison between surface-level content creation and deeply engaging storytelling that emerges from genuine understanding of culture and values. We’re so grateful to have built exactly the kind of partnership that allows creativity and strategic thinking to flourish together.

This year marks a century since the birth of Pinotage, South Africa’s signature grape, first cultivated in 1925 by Professor Abraham Izak Perold in Stellenbosch, where the first vineyards still thrive on what is now the STIAS campus.

Commissioned by Stellenbosch University, this film celebrates a century of heritage and innovation, tracing the journey of Pinotage from its roots in the Cape to its recognition on the world stage.

We were honoured to interview Beyers Truter, ‘The Prince of Pinotage’ and a proud Stellenbosch alumnus, whose passion and pioneering work helped take Pinotage to the world.

A special thank you to Belinda Jacobs from the Pinotage Association for her invaluable insight and contribution to narrating this story. It’s been a privilege to bring such an iconic piece of South African history to life.

Part of the ongoing series Maties Legends and Pioneers, celebrating the remarkable alumni who continue to shape the legacy of Stellenbosch University.

Story First: The Evolution of Institutional Storytelling for Africa

From static messaging to dynamic ecosystems of stories, the way institutions communicate is changing and so is their impact.

Here are some key ideas from our recent article on transversal storytelling, a narrative approach that adapts across contexts, voices, and mediums to build lasting connections.
