Humans of Makhanda

Over 80 000 souls – over 80 000 stories.

We begin a new series of portraits – the Humans of Makhanda (HOM). These short profiles provide snapshots of the diverse, resilient and talented people whose colour, energy and service weave the intricate fabric of our district – and give us hope to persevere.

HOM is where Makhanda’s heart is.

Read the first batch of HOMies here:

• Bridging two worlds

• A home of joy and love

• Bringing light, one child at a time

• Flames of success light the way

• Queer safe spaces are essential

• There’s a DJ in the Makhanda house

• Grown too soon, but growing others

• Transforming lives, one head at a time

• Time for light
