When I made this ad in 1999 I hoped things would change. They have not. Rape and femicide are still a huge epidemics in South Africa and clearly the system has failed women. Our leaders can’t continue to turn a blind eye, as they did with this ad
A Charlize Theron banned ad from 1999. Fast forward 20 years and it's only gotten worse. 🇿🇦 @CharlizeAfrica

Young Accountants are changing the world. At @WCOA_2018 Young CA Priya Singh tore up her 20 year plan to live in the moment. Her work philosophy now is instead of your “why”, just ask “why not?” She say to “Diversify your life.” #WCOA2018 #YoungCA

Priya Singh is encouraging us to diversify our lives - do the things that feed you (literally pay the bills), feed the world and feed your soul. Good to be in the venn diagram nexus - but WHY NOT diversify? #wcoa2018
