Miss SA Ndavi Nokeri launches Ed-Unite podcast series

When she was crowned Miss South Africa in 2022, fan favourite Ndavi Nokeri promised the country that she would help to level the skewed education field in South Africa.

And she is making good on that promise, having announced the launch date for her new educational podcast series on Wednesday.

The model and beauty pageant title holder said that while they are not physically able to get to every corner of South Africa, their words surely can.

The podcast will be kicking off on Tuesday morning 25 April on the Miss South Africa YouTube channel.

What to expect on Ed-Unite Talks

Ndavi will be joined by some of the leading voices nationwide and globally to raise awareness and to share information in providing guidance to the youth of Mzansi in their journey to success.

Every episode in the series of audio-visual podcasts will have a specific theme. In each of them, Nokeri will deal with topics that affect the lives of ordinary students, pupils and teachers. Episodes will be information-rich and provide an insight into what is available within the sector, and where and how to access it.

One of the topics that Nokeri will explore includes student funding. To talk about this complex issue, Ndavi will be joined by Karabo Mohale, Executive Deputy Chairperson of The National Youth Development Agency, and Lennox Wasara, Mastercard Foundation alumni.
 
Another episode will be dedicated to careers and will include information about the changing world of work in this digital age. Vumile Msweli, a career coach and CEO of Hesed Consulting, will be on hand to provide some of the most frequently asked questions in this area.
 
A subject Nokeri feels strongly about, Period Poverty, will be given an entire episode on Ed-Unite Talks. She will be joined by Candice Chirwa, Minister of Menstruation, Founder and Director of Qrate and a menstrual activist. As part of her campaign, on International Women’s Day in March this year, Ndavi handed out sanitary/dignity packs to pupils at Mashooro Secondary School in Ga Mokgwathi Village near where she grew up in Tzaneen, Limpopo.
 
The safety of children within the school environment is a much debated global topic. Ndavi will host attorney Karabo Ozah, Director of the Centre for Child Law, and Xolani Fakude, an educational psychologist at the South African Democratic Teachers Union, to discuss the issue of safety in this episode.
 
Nokeri believes that these YouTube conversations will have an impact.

“The Constitution is the supreme law of the land with a Bill of Rights that outlines the human rights of South Africans. Education is one of these human rights. Every person in this country has the right to an excellent education. Through my Ed-Unite campaign, I want to honour that human right and ensure a good education for all.”
