Today, we have the pleasure of engaging in a conversation with Nthakoana Maema, the visionary CEO of Oribi, a purpose-driven impact incubator actively shaping social innovation in South Africa by supporting and promoting social impact entrepreneurs. In this episode, we delve into how Nthaks, alongside the 'Girls Make The City' team and the girls themselves, serves as a catalyst for transformation.

Join us as Nthaks leads the way through the intricate dance of social innovation, creating a space where girls emerge as the architects of their surroundings. Explore with us the unique assets of Langa, the rich heritage woven into its streets, and the profound connection each girl shares with this dynamic township. From workshop insights to the sparks of sisterhood, we uncover how these girls, recognized as experts in their community, carve out vibrant feminist havens.

Nthaks shares with us the simple yet innovative solutions born from the untouched minds of these young creators. Join us on this brief yet impactful journey—a glimpse into a future where Langa's skyline is adorned with feminist projects. Tune in as we unfold the story of "Nthaks," painting a vivid picture of resilience, creativity, and transformative urban artistry.
