Celebrating SA's heroes on Good News Day

from The Lead · host News24

On 1 April, here at News24, we ditch the pranks to focus on the feel-good factor for what we have dubbed Good News Day. Instead of making you wonder what is fact and what is fiction, we have decided to flood our website with 21 good news offerings. Not even this show is spared. Today on The Lead, Good News Editor Paul Herman joins to chat about a couple from Hartbeespoort saving thousands of wild animals, a cricketing oasis in Khayelitsha and a story of an aunt who scraped together every rand she could to pay for her niece's studies after a family tragedy. Let us know which stories warmed your heart. You can now mail your views, news, and voice notes to [email protected]. Editions will drop Monday through Thursday on Spotify and Apple Podcasts at 19:00.
