Anthea Thyssen, a Fourways resident and host of the 5th annual AfriCAN Global Authors Awards hosted the first AfriCAN EARTHizens Honoree Awards at the 26 Degrees South Hotel in Muldersdrift.
The theme for the awards was, ‘Let’s respect Mother Earth’ and they were opened by Tu Nokwe of Amajika Performing Arts who performed the song I am Light, by India Arie.
Thyssen honoured many eco-businesses from all over Africa, such as Josephine Sidambe and Diana Mususura from the Earthy Touch Foundation who use plastic bottles to build.
She told the audience that this is the beginning of the EARTH movement and that it is time they take initiative and support the new green economy, adding that trash is valuable and that we need to stop putting it in our landfills.
Thyssen’s nine-year-old son, Linden Ambursley, also delivered a speech, telling the world that they have a ‘clean plate policy’ at home and asked the audience what they have implemented in their homes to preserve the Earth for him and his peers.
