Journey with us as we uncover the remarkable story of Hayley Reichert, a dedicated South African living in England. What drove her to leave her homeland for the UK? And more importantly, what sparked her fierce passion for advocating change from across the seas? Listen as Hayley recounts the transformation from a mere adventurer to a relentless advocate involved with the DA abroad, overseas voting, and key legislative lobbying efforts. Her narrative of aiding South Africans stranded during the pandemic and her vision of returning to contribute directly is both inspiring and a testament to the power of dedicated individuals.
But that's not all—we tackle the tough challenges of promoting change in South Africa amidst widespread apathy and negative news.
