Pure joy from start to finish!

On 5 December, AfroCentric Group had the absolute pleasure of celebrating Christmas with the incredible learners and teachers at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital School for a Christmas celebration filled with games, gifts and endless smiles. The energy was contagious as we shared laughter, played together and created unforgettable memories!

Since 2012, AfroCentric has proudly partnered with this extraordinary school, which ensures that learners from Grade R to 12 continue their education while receiving long-term medical care. These young champions inspire us daily with their resilience and determination to thrive despite health challenges.

Over the years, we have supported the school through refurbishment projects, equipping classrooms and even installing a custom-designed playground for children with compromised immune systems.

The celebration was a reminder of why we do what we do - Enhancing Quality of Life and spreading joy where it matters most. Here’s to another year of making a difference!

Violence against women and children is one of the most urgent human rights crises of our time. Every day, lives are shattered and communities are scarred by abuse that should never happen.

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global call to end abuse and protect the most vulnerable, underscored by the alarming statistics that cannot be ignored. In 2023, 85,000 women and girls were intentionally killed worldwide, with about 51,100 murdered by intimate partners or family members (UN Women).

Closer to home, South Africa’s Q3 2024/25 SAPS statistics reveal an equally grim picture. Eleven women are murdered every day. Five women are r***d every hour. Hundreds of children are murdered or assaulted every quarter.

During these 16 Days of Activism, we call on everyone to speak out against injustice and stand with those most at risk.

As an organisation, we are committed to this movement by acting with empathy and providing support through our employee wellness programme, ensuring that staff affected by gender-based violence (GBV) have access to the help they need.

Change begins when we raise our voices together.

Following the webinar, our male employees enjoyed buff & shine manicure sessions and soothing massages - a gesture that reflects our commitment to creating spaces where men feel valued, cared for and supported.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made this conversation impactful!

[JOIN US] Movember Moment Webinar: Men’s Health & Fatherhood

Movember shines a light on men’s health challenges that often go unspoken. In South Africa, prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men, while testicular cancer, though less common, affects younger men and is often overlooked (CANSA).

Mental health is just as critical, with men accounting for nearly 80% of su***des, with su***de ranking as the fourth leading cause of death among males aged 15-24 (SADAG).

This Movember, in collaboration with Sanlam Group, we are unpacking these realities and exploring how fatherhood shapes men’s emotional wellbeing and family engagement.

We will also highlight AfroCentric Group’s wellness solutions, including mental health counselling, parental coaching and legal support.

Our expert panel includes:
• Dr. Nicholas Downey - Medical Advisor Health Policy Unit at Medscheme (an AfroCentric Group company)
Focus: Clinical realities of prostate and testicular cancer, early detection and integrated care.

• Christo Van Hoek - Counselling Psychologist, Facilitator & Management Consultant at Lyra Wellbeing
Focus: Supporting men beyond the clinic with mental health and family-focused services.

• Lwando Mhlekazi - Social Worker & Student Wellness Manager at IIE Rosebank College
Focus: Breaking stigma and building resilience through fatherhood and mental health advocacy.

We are honoured to have Ashley Singh, CIO at Sanlam Health (AfroCentric Group) and Corporate, sponsoring this event with pride and joining the discussion to share his unique perspective.

• Date: Monday, 24 November 2025
• Time: 10:00 – 11:30
• Link to join: https://tinyurl.com/y4dxcu4u

Join us for a conversation that goes beyond statistics and moves toward solutions that empower men to take charge of their health and family life.

2025 Annual Bursary Programme Luncheon

Today, Dr. Anna Mokgokong, Chairperson of the AfroCentric Group, hosted the Annual Bursary Programme Luncheon - a celebration of the inspiring journeys of our bursary beneficiaries.

She was joined by Dr. Nkateko Munisi, Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Social & Ethics Committee, Group CEO Gerald Van Wyk and members of the Executive Committee, including Group CFO Thato Moloele, Group Chief People & Marketing Officer Lindiwe Miyambu, Group Chief Risk Officer Monwabisi Kula, Interim Director: Corporate Solutions, David Carolus and Company Secretary Lebohang Mpumlwana.

Since its inception in 2016, the AfroCentric Bursary Programme has supported students across key healthcare disciplines, including Nursing, Pharmacy and Medical studies - empowering them through financial assistance, mentorship, leadership engagement and wellness coaching.

The Annual Bursary Luncheon serves as a strategic engagement platform where AfroCentric Group's leadership connects meaningfully with students through guided discussions and interactive activities. These moments provide career insights to help students navigate the healthcare sector, foster valuable relationships and celebrate academic achievements. The event also highlights the Programme’s role in addressing South Africa’s healthcare skills shortage and nurturing the next generation of leaders.

Seeing the joy, confidence and pride of our bursary recipients as they engaged with leadership was truly inspiring. We wish them continued success as they pursue their studies and build impactful careers in healthcare.

Molweni!

Our 2025 Vision is Vital initiative took us to East London in the Eastern Cape, where we continued expanding our mission to open new worlds for young learners. Through free eye screenings and the provision of spectacles to 1 311 learners at Lukhanyo Primary School and Gcobani Intermediate Primary School, we unlocked potential — one pair of glasses at a time.

Imagine being a learner who struggles to keep up in class because you can’t see the board, can’t afford a pair of spectacles and may even be bullied because of it. Now, imagine the joy of suddenly seeing clearly — the confidence, the freedom, the belief that you can shine.

That is what drives us.

We are deeply inspired by community leaders such as Miss Bukelwa Sitole, Principal of Lukhanyo Primary School whose motto “Sohlala Sikhanya” (“We will stay shining”) could not be more fitting and Mr Simphiwe Qobosha, Principal of Gcobani Intermediate Primary School. Alongside their school governing bodies and dedicated parents, they remind children that humble beginnings are not their final destination.

A heartfelt thank you to our partner Vision for Change and other supporters who continue to walk this incredible journey with us.

Together, we are empowering futures and yes, we will stay shining.
