Introducing Dinaledi Tse Tala — Green Stars

Five Drama Pioneers from the Bapong, Majakaneng and Modderspruit area were trained to conduct fieldwork and gather information to better understand the local waste system. This project is done with the Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve NPC.

They are now taking the next step: piloting Dinaledi Tse Tala (Green Stars) in three local primary schools. Working with learners, the Drama Pioneers will create awareness about recycling and motivate learners and schools to establish structured recycling programmes.

Through Dinaledi Tse Tala, young people will be encouraged to become Green Stars who help lead positive environmental change in their schools and communities.

67 Minutes of Service for Mandela Day

The Drama for Change Marico Club marked Mandela Day by dedicating 67 minutes to cleaning public spaces in the Marico area. Through collecting litter and clearing refuse, the team helped create a cleaner environment while demonstrating the value of active citizenship and community service.

We acknowledge Tlhokomelo Home-Based Care for supporting the initiative by donating three refuse bags used during the clean-up. This collaboration strengthened the relationship between Drama for Change and Tlhokomelo HBC and provides a foundation for future community-led activities.

Small actions can contribute to meaningful change when communities work together.
