Sindiswa Mbalana
Sindiswa is an absolute pillar of strength, running the program together with Zukiswa Mafani, another power house from the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape team have taught Breath-Water-Sound to their communities i.e. Msobomvo, Tshali, Jonini villages and provided the necessary support for up and coming Breath-Water-Sound teachers.
Ricardo and Xolani, have also joined their team and after a recent visit, it is clear that the Breath-Water-Sound program is providing direction for the local youth, keeping them away from the overwelming amount of taverns in their small villages, and giving them responsibilty, in taking care of their villages. They have done all of this, without any resources. Transport is really expensive - getting from one village to the other could cost up to R 100.00 return - still they are a force to be reckoned with and serve as such role models in their commitment to re-enliven the age of the principle of Ubuntu, in the rural areas.
