Umhlanga actress inspires youth to be the change

Umhlanga actress inspires youth to be the change 'The Changemakers is a non-profit organisation that I started a year ago. It's dedicated to helping people and inspiring others to do the same. I wanted to do my part to bring about real change in our country,' said Sukuram. Sukuram holds a BCom in accounting but her heart has always belonged to the arts, particularly acting. 'I've loved acting since I was a little girl. It allows people to explore different characters and stories, and connect on a deeper level.' While she's made strides in her acting career, becoming the first South African actress to appear in multiple Zee TV series, it's her work with The Changemakers that speaks volumes about her commitment to social justice. Also read: Greenwood Park youth celebrate leadership, diversity One of the organisation's standout initiatives is a gender-based violence awareness campaign launched in 2023. 'We partnered with EnviroSpecSA to visit schools and teach girls self-defence. Self-defence is a vital skill as it empowers girls to protect themselves and gives them confidence.' Balancing a career in entertainment with activism isn't easy, but Sukuram said time management and passion keep her grounded. 'I create a calendar that accommodates both my acting and NPO responsibilities. I prioritise what matters most, whether it's preparing for a role or planning our next outreach.' Youth Month, she said, is a powerful reminder of what young South Africans are capable of. 'To me, Youth Month acknowledges the important role we play in shaping the future. It's about recognising our potential and giving us the tools to lead.' She encourages other young people to speak up and take action in their communities. Watch: Gen Z shares what Youth Day means to them 30 years into democracy 'Use your voice. Use your talents. Whether it's art, music, or leadership, your passion can create change.' Through The Changemakers, Sukuram hopes to continue addressing a range of issues, from GBV to education, and dreams of one day helping thousands of South Africans. She wants it to be an organisation that's known for getting things done, for being effective and impactful. 'You as the youth of South Africa are the leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. Keep pushing boundaries, breaking barriers, and striving for greatness. Don't wait for change, be the change.'

Mobile solar cinema sparks magical moment for Nsikazi kids

Local children experienced a magical moment through Sunshine Cinema's Sunbox, a mobile solar cinema kit. The children of Elizabeth Mabena Care Centre were treated to a complimentary movie screening of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind via the Sunbox on Saturday, June 20. This initiative was facilitated by a local, Alfred Ngwenya (29), as a Spark Impact Ambassador of Sunshine Cinema. He said the Sunshine Cinema is a non-profit solar powered media network working through southern Africa to address youth unemployment.

The storyline also explores hunger, food shortages, and the impacts of drought and famine in a developing country,' said Alfred. Alfred said the initiative aims to involve community members and encourage dialogue, motivating individuals to arrange free screenings at gatherings such as youth camps, schools and religious events.
