This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka catches up with one of the show’s former guests, renowned musician and humanitarian Yvonne Chaka Chaka. We reflect on poignant moments in the early phase of her career, where art was a form of ammunition to fight against inequalities and conscientize the public about apartheid atrocities. She recalls receiving a note from former president Nelson Mandela and chewing it up through fear of being arrested by the special branch and reflects on the enduring support of Winnie Mandela. Freedom was hard won in South Africa, but it’s not our only fight; gender based violence, inequality, poverty and intolerance need to be overcome too. Yvonne Chaka Chaka uses her platforms for good, part of her humanitarian efforts includes serving as a Goodwill Ambassador for Malaria in Africa, this disease is one of the leading causes of death in the continent.

This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to the CEO of Anglo American Platinum (AMPLATS), Natascha Viljoen, who sits on the Anglo American Platinum Board and the Group Management Committee of Anglo American plc. She reflects on factors that led to her career in mining from getting “the smell of the place” as a child going on site trips with her father, who worked on gold mines and drawing on this energy, to a love of science and math which fuelled her interest in a technical career, specifically in mining. We discuss some of the targeted empowerment activities that AMPLATS has in place for women, both in the local communities where it operates and the business itself. We remark on the fact that it is possible for women to make an impact and break ceilings in male dominated environments. Women introduce different perspectives, which in turn reshapes the workplace, contributes to diversity and innovation. Tune in for more.
