Guest speakers; Pastor Honey Olawale and Reholegile Mehlape, engaging attendees during the APAS Impact your world SA launch.

POLOKWANE – APAS which was recently launched in South Africa is a movement which encourages people to take responsibility for their own future, to nurture love and life.

[WATCH] Change leader for APAS, Reholegile Mehlape, explained that suicide is not always an intentional act by a person. “Being a victim of this illness, I can attest that a lot of factors play a major role which lead to thoughts of suicide. This is why it is important for us as communities to check on one another as often as we can.

I hope that when everyone in attendance leaves this one day program they leave positive with a change on mind and go out there to carry out this mandate of putting an end to this social problem that we face on a daily basis in our communities,” explained Pastor Honey.

Another main speaker, Rev. Jerry Vreeman, flew all the way from USA, Colorado Springs from a organisation called L.I.O.N Outreach International(Leadership in Obscurity Network) to come and inspire as well as motivate attendees to not give up on life.
