Today on the show we are joined by Dr Winnie Tshirumbula - an author and speaker based in Johannesburg, South Africa. She’s an ordained pastor and is the founder of The Uncommon Woman Ministry among other organisations she’s part of. Dr Tshirumbula is a Manager at Gauteng Department of Finance in Johannesburg. She’s the author of a book titled ‘Woman the gatekeeper’ – and our theme today looks at the role of gatekeepers given the activism of Black Lives Matter and other movements advocating for change. Who should keep a guard over the society in these times? Who are the gatekeepers and what are their roles? But before we get into that we look at Dr Tshirumbula’s journey to her place of purpose and activism.

Our rising star this week is 21 year old youth activist Zoleka Monta who is the President of Girl Up, Johannesburg.
