In this edition of Corporates That Care, Bongani Bingwa is joined in studio by Kevin O’Brien, Chief Sustainability Officer at SPAR, a retailer using its national footprint to drive real change in the fight against gender-based violence. After the tragic murders of Uyinene Mrwetyana and Leighandre Jegels in 2019, SPAR shifted from statements to action, partnering with LifeLine, the NPA, and Thuthuzela Care Centres. They've also launched safety tools for students and are helping survivors access support. Kevin unpacks how SPAR is turning retail spaces into places of safety, care, and community empowerment.
Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf. The team bring you all you need to know to start your day
