Comm-UNITY! | Season 10 | Episode 11 | Green jobs & thriving communities: Qwakanda's story.

In the hilly town of Qwa-Qwa in South Africa, a determined team has took it upon themselves to transform the sanitation of their community. Piles of unattended food waste were a common sight post the pandemic-imposed lockdown, but this team refused to accept it. They rolled up their sleeves, got their hands dirty, and have since made huge impact. And that's not all – during this selfless work, Team Qwakanda discovered the Gigatonne challenge and they've been on an even greater mission since. By keeping Qwa-Qwa clean, they're not only improving their community but also reducing emissions one tonne at a time. Joining us on the Comm-Unity Podcast is Hlox, the Chairperson of Team Qwakanda, who will share with us the amazing effects their work has had on the community. From improving food security to boosting the local economy, Hlox has a story that's sure to inspire you, so tune in!
