Healing is not a moment — it is a commitment.

In 2025, Heal SA stood alongside survivors, communities, and partners to advance mental health, challenge gender-based violence, and strengthen spaces of care across South Africa.

Since 2021, together we have:
• Supported 15 000+ individuals through counselling
• Trained thousands of learners and educators
• Held community workshops nationwide
• Built sustainable mental health support groups

These are more than numbers — they are lives supported, voices strengthened, and communities walking toward healing.

🤍 Thank you for standing with us.
✊🏽 The work continues.

On World AIDS Day we remember that violence and health are deeply connected. 💜

Gender-based violence doesn’t just harm — it makes people more vulnerable to HIV, pushes them away from help, and deepens stigma. But healing and justice begin when we stand together — men, women, boys and girls — united against GBVF and AIDS.

Join Heal SA. Stand with survivors. Support those living with HIV. Demand safe, caring communities for all.

Yesterday I had a breakfast meeting with my dearest friend Karabo Rangwetsi who wrote ‘Invisible Scars’

I’m processing the raw honesty and courage it takes to share your story of surviving gender-based violence. Your writing is a powerful testament to resilience and hope, and I admire your strength in turning pain into a message of empowerment. Thank you for sharing your journey - your book will support and inspire so many. Proud of you Tsala.

Yesterday I attended a Public lecture at Stellenbosch University with Nobel Laureates JM Coetzee and Abdulrazak Gurnah

I was reminded yet again that African writing has long been a mirror and a map, reflecting histories too often erased, and charting futures rooted in resilience, language and imagination.

Organised under the theme, “Retrieving Pasts, Imagining Futures: Creative Forms in African Writing”, is the fifth Symposium in the Nobel in Africa Series, which was launched in 2022, and the first on literature.
