Notably, Ms. Mashale has been nominated for the Top 10 CNN Hero of the year award.

As we commemorate these 16 Days of Activism, the Department encourages private sector companies and major corporations to donate and partner with registered NGOs rendering services to children, and other vulnerable groups.

There will be opportunities for interviews and photographs.
