Meet Andiswa Madikane, three-time female boxing champion of the Western Cape, South Africa, from the township of Khayelitsha in Cape Town. I'll speak with her in my South Africa video. After retiring from boxing, Andiswa helped found and now manages the first of six South African branches of the organization Boxgirls International, designed to empower young girls in poor communities through boxing. As a leader in Khayelitsha, Andiswa trains young women in self-defense boxing, academic, and lifestyle skills.

Meet Charles. He'll tell his story in my South Africa video. Charles was my Uber driver on the way into Cape Town from the airport. Charles is originally from DR Congo. He escaped in 2003 to avoid recruitment into rebel armies looking to stock up on any able- bodied young men. Charles snuck out in the middle of the night, leaving behind his family and relying on strangers, to traverse down rivers, dirt roads and across borders before settling in Cape Town. He's now a proud husband and father of a young daughter.
