South Africa stands on the brink of salvation—or catastrophe (Economist, June 2024)
As we read headlines like this, we have to acknowledge that we stand at a crossroads as South Africans, and we must make a choice.
The choice is to standby and do nothing, as our communities are ravaged by crime, our unemployment rates sky rocket beyond their current 32%, and 27% of our nation’s children under the age of five face deeper levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. But we know that’s not what South African’s do.
We roll up our sleeves and get involved – doing what we can, with what we have, to see our Mzansi dream become a reality. This may look different for every person, but the key is to get involved, and TOGETHER build a better future – one town at a time.
Let’s make the choice today to join the movement for positive change, and here’s how…

BECOME A COLLABORATOR
We understand that there may be some individuals, government bodies, social enterprises, non-profit organisations, businesses, clubs, churches and faith organisations that are already doing great work to improve the quality of life within their communities, and don’t want to implement the Love Cities four step approach to community transformation nor make use of the full bouquet of resources and support offered by the network.
However, these organisations see the need to collaborate, be a part of a bigger story, access greater network opportunities, participate in valuable training opportunities, share resources and contribute to the collective social impact space. For this reason, we invite them to become a Collaborator, at a nominal annual fee.
