Joburg programme to train 100 women as electric delivery riders
Story 1
A new programme in Johannesburg will train 100 women as electric delivery riders, creating access to jobs in a sector often dominated by men.
The Just Ride Initiative aims to improve women’s economic opportunities while supporting cleaner, low-emission urban transport.
Participants will receive training in electric bike use, road safety, and digital delivery systems to prepare them for work in the gig economy.
Organisers say the project will help reduce unemployment and promote inclusive growth in South Africa’s expanding delivery industry.

Holly Rey visits rural diabetes camps, highlights care gaps
Story 2
Singer and songwriter, Holly Rey, visited diabetes care camps in rural Mpumalanga and Limpopo, meeting children living with Type-1 diabetes and observing gaps in access to treatment and support.
The camps provide medical care, education, and monitoring for children in underserved communities, where access to insulin and testing supplies is often inconsistent.
During the visit, healthcare volunteers and local coordinators documented cases of severe complications linked to limited treatment access, including hospital emergencies and long-term health damage.
Organisers are now calling for additional support to expand the camps and improve access to essential diabetes care across rural South Africa.
