We are also excited to announce the remaining Switchers in our Top 5, who will also be receiving prizes: Vuyokazi Ntlebi, Sicelo Mbonani & Hendrick Frans Swarts. Your prizes will be announced shortly so stay tuned and be sure to keep following the journey. A big well done to all those who submitted – you showed such innovation in developing your ideas and pitching them!

A huge thank you to our amazing panel who worked over 48 hours scoring all submissions and giving valuable feedback in supporting the growth of our social entrepreneurs: Caley Van Der Kolk, Oliver Bonstein, Bel Isa, Apoorv Bamba, Lufefe Nomjana & Adri Kiracofe.

Once again, Switchers have shown their incredible growth and dedication for driving change in their communities. Keep working hard, and by developing yourselves you are sending ripples and waves of change into your communities – and lastly, remember:
