COMMUNITY MATTERS - Healing Communities Through Sport, Faith & Unity on the Cape Flats

Loading player...
In this powerful episode of Community Matters with Susan Moss, we explore the heart of grassroots activism and community healing in Cape Town’s Cape Flats. Joined by three remarkable women — Sibongile Samsam, Lindy Jacobs, and Deidre Richards — we unpack the transformative work behind Balls Not Guns, a local initiative using sport to fight violence, empower youth, and restore hope.

From community gardens in Ottery to healing circles in Westbank, we hear personal stories of loss, resilience, and faith. Lindy shares her journey after losing her son to gang violence, while Sibongile discusses how education, sustainable projects, and sport are breaking cycles of poverty.

Multilingual greetings, local flavor, scripture from Isaiah 58:10, and a reminder to be "Jesus Freaks" — this episode is a vibrant mix of faith, culture, and action.

Whether you're a parent, activist, pastor, or simply someone who believes in community change — this episode will inspire you to give, grow, and believe.
