Siyakhona' is a project that trains young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to be video journalists. It uses the power of the media to create change around critical social issues like xenophobia, pollution, HIV/AIDS and homophobia. This month Siyakhona Alexandra looks at the root causes of the frustration around housing for the poor which often leads to violent protest.
Siyakhona is implemented by Hillside Digital, a South African non-profit media development organisation that aims to create sustainable media 'hubs' to give communities their own voice.
Siyakhona grew through Sony's collaboration with FIFA on corporate social responsibility as part of Football for Hope, the movement led by FIFA and streetfootballworld.
