The Masondo family in Limpopo

Posted on November 22, 2009 by dijoh2o

While in South Africa for work in November 2009 I did few days holiday visiting my friend Jabu Masondo, who I know since 2004, when he did 15 months at IRC in an exchange programme. See his story on his visit to our partner in Zimbabwe. In 2005 we travelled three weeks together during my sabbatical leave writing stories on rural South Africa for The Mvula Trust.

Jabu is now a busy communication manager in a team of six at the Capricorn District Municipality based in Polokwane (Pietersburg). Together we visited the village of his birth, 90 minutes away from Pietersburg, close to the border with Zimbabwe. Here I had a very enjoyable meeting with his father and uncle.

Communication work in Lesotho

Posted on November 21, 2009 by dijoh2o

In my work I am regularly asked to facilitate communication training or media workshops. This time the African Civil Society Network on Water and Sanitation (ANEW) asked me to help them with a communication planning workshop on 10 October in Maseru, Lesotho. After three days of workshops and a general assembly I had to use lots of energisers and group work to keep the attention and active involvement of the 10 ANEW communication people. But it worked.

Here one group is analysing communication products from others.

Lesotho is a kingdom within South Africa. It is mountainous.
