How storytelling can heal

Steven Wetton from Give a Child a Family,  Oak Foundation's safeguarding partner in Southern Africa, recently ran a safeguarding session at Heartlines to help us continue ensuring the safety and well-being of the people we work with.

The Association of Christian Media’s 2024 Leadership Symposium was an opportunity for leaders of media organisations across the country to dream about how they can work together to achieve the association's vision.

South Africa has a complex past, so a day like Heritage Day can be met with mixed emotions. But what if we were open to exploring the aspects of our own heritage, as well as the heritage of those around us, to understand ourselves and each other better?

Nobody wins during community unrest. At our recent peace-building Bridge event with clerics in the KZN region, the sentiment was clear: we cannot stand by idly and let division and unrest unfold. We need more community mediators.

"The Church needs to become mediators in the event of unrest. We need to represent to people what peace is. Churches should be a place of refuge to all, regardless of whether they are members or not.” – Rev. Samu Khanyile
