Pretoria-based non-profit HospiVision has reached a major milestone, providing spiritual care and support to more than 200,000 patients, families, and healthcare workers in public hospitals across Gauteng and the Western Cape since 2009.
In 2025 alone, the organisation supported over 45,600 people, ran skills development programs for 131 community members, and provided meals to more than 4,300 people through its soup kitchen.
HospiVision also facilitated the burial of over 20 unclaimed individuals and trains future mental health professionals through its Hospital Chaplaincy Programme with the University of Pretoria.

A new initiative is bringing hundreds of African children’s stories to life in South African Sign Language, giving Deaf children access to books in their own language.
Since 2023, Stellenbosch University’s Handlab project, in partnership with Book Dash, has been translating and recording more than 200 picture books in SASL. Deaf storytellers from across South Africa signed each story on camera, creating a rich, expressive library designed with young Deaf readers in mind.
The project supports early language development, literacy, and confidence, while helping families share stories even if they are still learning sign language themselves.

South Africans have rallied to honour David Sejobe, a security guard at MultiChoice in Randburg, whose daily kindness touched thousands. David passed away last Friday, and a crowdfunding campaign meant to raise R20,000 for his family has reached R400,000 as of today, Wednesday.
People gathered outside the MultiChoice offices, leaving flowers and candles, while passing motorists honked in tribute. A billboard on Bram Fischer Drive also commemorates his life.
Though not famous, David’s consistent warmth inspired messages of gratitude from colleagues and strangers alike.
