FUSE SESSION 01: MOTHER CITY EDITION - BIG LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE
Our next electrifying Fuse Session brought in our game-disrupting Champions of Change to discuss BIG LOVE for the people, with Ntombenhle Khathwane, Mzikhona Mgedle, Jesse Laitinen, Alexandre Tilmans and Jessica Dewhurst covering topics such as owning your own beauty, delivering medicine by bicycle, addressing homelessness, using street art as a creative tool to promote BIG change and the power of everyday activism.
Ntombenhle Khathwane was our moderator on the day. She founded AfroBotanics, a natural hair and body care brand. Through AfroBotanics and her podcast, Ntombenhle is creating a world where everyone can live their purpose in their own kind of look.
Mzikhona Mgedle came up with the Langa Bicycle Hub, initially to deliver medicine by bicycle to bedridden people. Today, the hub offers cycling classes, bicycle tours and much more. He aims to spark a cycling revolution in Africa.
