We Are Who We’ve Been Waiting For: Nomsa Mazwai on Courage, Community and Change

In this episode, we talk to Nomsa Mazwai, an economist, musician, social entrepreneur and Fulbright scholar whose work sits at the intersection of community development, women's safety and creative expression. From pioneering Soweto Night Out – an innovative tourism initiative that creates safer public spaces while generating local economic opportunities – to developing bold new social enterprise ideas and recording music inspired by her own journey of resilience, Nomsa combines intellectual rigour with a deep commitment to service. In this candid conversation, she reflects on entrepreneurship, unemployment, faith, mental health, and the determination required to keep building solutions in the face of seemingly impossible challenges.
