Most importantly Ramaphosa got rid of almost all of those mentioned in the Zondo Commission report on State Capture. Although the ANC still has 20 cabinet positions, 16 ANC ministers who previous held cabinet positions are no longer there... melanieverwoerd.co.za/melanie-verwoe…

Eight million tons of plastic waste is deposited into our oceans every year - equivalent to one dump-truck of plastic dropped into the oceans each minute. By 2050 there will be more plastic by weight in the ocean than fish...melanieverwoerd.co.za/melanie-verwoe…

African expert, Melanie begs Britain to help stop 'colonial practice' of trophy hunting. She is in the UK this week to urge the Government to commit to its manifesto pledge to ban trophy imports into the UK. 💪🏻 #BanTrophyHunting mirror.co.uk/news/world-new…

2 years ago following a radical hysterectomy I decided to write book, Never Waste a Good Hysterectomy , followed by a podcast of the same name for women who are preparing or recovering from a hysterectomy. It still didn't feel like enough.

I wanted to do more to support women through their journeys of transition and healing with illness, menopause, cancer, divorce & motherhood. I began thinking about the incredible power of the African wilderness in facilitating inner & outer healing, having experienced it myself.

So I founded When Women Rise Retreats. At When Women Rise Retreats, we create safe spaces for women to catch their breath, rest and heal in the African bush during 4-night luxury safari retreats in a 5-star game reserve.
