The brainchild of celebrated South African actress Dorothy Anne Gould, “Johannesburg Awakening Minds” has been giving the men a new home in the world of the performing arts, allowing theatre to transform their lives.

Flamingos Released
It’s been months since over 1600 lesser flamingo chicks were rescued from Kamfers Dam in Kimberley after the dam dried up, leaving hundreds abandoned and starving. Volunteers from around the country banded together to collect the newly hatched chicks, taking them to the local SPCA where they were fed and checked by a vet. Now, as they continue to recover, some baby flamingos are being released back into their natural habitat.
