Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Just for a Change

S2, Ep. 12: Season Wrap up episode

--:--
What are the building blocks that enable social innovation and entrepreneurship in the global South? We couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up JFAC season 2 than reflecting on a few of these building blocks and highlights from the previous episodes.

Hosts, Fergus Turner and Simni Xanga reminisce on the successful season by sharing their favourite tidbits from past episodes. You’ll hear the voices of Zeenat Hendricks from Rape Crisis, Thando Mavumengwana from Solution Space, Dr. Andrea Feigl-Ding on her advice for women driving social investment for health, Manuel Espinoza from SIHI and Ayanda Cuba, an RAA alumni who launched lifestyle marketing tourism start-up, ABCD Concepts, in the heart of Khayelitsha to name a few.

With such a jam-packed and insightful season behind us, we look forward to new conversations, new voices and new ways to change the way we’re changing the world.
