IN its mission to drive social change, one NPO is raising its voice against Gender-Based Violence by painting the streets of Durban and beyond yellow.
Yellow Drive, an initiative of Committed To Positive Change, will mobilise South Africans to take a collective stand against GBV.

The man at the centre of the campaign is Nhlanhla Mlauli. “On Friday, November 28, we will flood social media with messages of hope and commitment. We are going to paint the digital world yellow with our pledges to ensure our voices are heard. Then, on Saturday, November 29, we will hit the ground running. We will have a 5km walk/run at North Beach Lifestyle to promote wellness and unite our communities. We will thereafter have breakfast and an engagement session,” he explained.

“This is an invitation to stop feeling helpless and to meet other people who care and together be part of something powerful in our country. Wearing our yellow Committed To Positive Change T-shirts will symbolise solidarity. Let us come together to show the world the power of a community that is committed to positive change. Add your voice because silence is not always golden,” Mlauli added.

The walk/run starts at 07:00, followed by breakfast at 08:30, and an engagement session later. To join, the organisers said one can order a Committed To Positive Change T-shirt for a donation of R120. Breakfast is included.
