Play Your Part TV series to inspire
21 October 2011
A new 13-part television series promoting Brand South Africa's Play Your Part campaign, featuring inspirational stories of ordinary citizens working for the betterment of their communities, starts broadcasting on SABC 1 at 12h30 on Sunday, 23 October.
Brand SA has travelled the length and breadth of the country asking ordinary South Africans how they are playing their part in their communities, in the process uncovering a range of inspirational stories to share with the nation.
The first episode profiles "a new generation of pioneers who, despite adversity, are charting new paths and flying the South African flag high," Brand South Africa said in a statement this week.
These include Nelisiwe Xaba, who explores contemporary issues and provokes dialogue through choreography and dance; David Tlale, who from one sewing machine has built a clothing brand that has graced the fashion capitals of the world; and 20-year-old racing driver Vicki Kemp, who has been on the tracks since she was 10.
"There are a number of opportunities, big and small, where each and every one of us can make a positive difference in the communities in which we live and operate," Brand South Africa CEO Miller Matola said at the launch of the new show.
The TV series "will lift the spirits and inspire all South Africans with examples of how their fellow citizens are creating a South Africa we can all be proud of".
The series will be broadcast on SABC 1 at 12h30 every Sunday, starting on 23 October.
Play Your Part is a social movement created by the Brand South Africa to inspire, empower and celebrate active citizenship. For more information, visit www.playyourpart.co.za.
