We are grateful to serve the National Shelter Movement of South Africa today. I enjoyed facilitating a panel discussion with panelists Rev. Storia Seitisho, Merrishia Singh-Naicker and Anisa Moosa, as we reflected on the on the historic 9th August, 1956 and celebrating 70 years of the Women’s March. We also considered the topic of allyship and men as allies for gender justice, and we presented the resources of for people draw into their work, witness and service.

🌱 Small Steps. Big Ripples. Positive Change. 🌱

What an awesome time serving the Twinning Schools of the Gauteng Department of Education!
Our participants engaged deeply as we explored positive values-based social impact — how each of us can become agents of change in our schools and communities.

Through the powerful reflection on “Everything a Boy Could Want” and the learning from , we considered the impact of parenting and fatherhood in shaping young lives.

Together, we imagined how our Twinning Schools can take small intentional steps that create big ripples of change. Let’s continue building schools of excellence — schools that transform lives, nurture belonging, and strengthen social cohesion. 🙌🏾

'Reflecting on Leadership, Learning, and Transformative Praxis in Gender Justice'-
by Seth Naicker.

3 August 2026.

Today was an enriching and inspiring day of reflection with colleagues from the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies at UNISA.

We remain deeply grateful for the Department's partnership and support of the 'Faith Leaders Gender Transformation Programme' ( ), through which we accompany faith leaders in their vocational service and learning for gender justice and the flourishing of women, men, children, families, and communities.

Several years ago, I had the privilege of being part of the inaugural cohort of this transformative leadership programme. The practical outcomes of that learning gave rise to two workshops that continue to shape my ministry and practice:

* The Power of Story to Bring Healing and Prevent Gender-Based Violence
* Fathers and Men as Allies to End Gender-Based Violence

Beyond these workshops, the programme has profoundly influenced my engagement with faith communities, organisations, people groups, and the many clients I have been honoured to serve. It has strengthened my conviction that faith leaders have a vital role to play in advancing justice, healing, and social transformation.

Today, I remain humbled to serve as a mentor to leaders and participants in the fourth cohort of , while also contributing as an associate faculty member and facilitator with a particular focus on the active, positive, and present role of men, , and the nurturing of positive and transformative masculinities.

Our conversations today centred on reflecting together as colleagues on the programme's evolving learning journey, identifying opportunities to strengthen its future, and celebrating the impact of the praxis, leadership, and service of faith leaders committed to gender justice.

My hope is that many more faith leaders will embrace this journey of renewed learning and become part of the growing movement for gender justice, healing, restoration, transformation, and the flourishing of all people in South Africa, across Africa, and around the world.

Halala , Halala!

Over the last two weeks. It has been an awesome journey to spend time with Heartlines FathersMatter_za and collaborating partners who have committed to what is now know as the Champions Training.

We look forward to working with participants over the next year as we plan positive values-based social impact ideas, events, and intiatives. Each action will be designed toward the goal of halving fatherlessness in a generation- through the active, positive presence of men and fathers.

I look forward to working with participants as a mentor and coach for their action oriented ideas.

We are grateful for our partner organizations who have sent community organizers and champions viz. Power Of Women & Children, Safe And Sound Germiston, Nazarene Church Lenasia, We Will Speak Out SA Faith Action to end Gender-Based Violence, South African Council of Churches GP, and Churchoutofthebox.

Woke Schools: Mobilising Positive Values-Based Leadership and Social Impact Through GIBS .

We are grateful to continue our efforts with our GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science) project.

We have been afforded the opportunity to ground our efforts upon positive values-based learning, leadership, and mobilising positive social impact.

We started out the year drawing on the concept of being “woke”, and asking the question:

What would it mean for us to be woke leaders, teachers, learners, parents, and schools?

Drawing on Dr. Curtiss Paul DeYoung’s book, The Risk of Being Woke, we have explored the concept of being woke, awake, VUCA-ready, and alert — to speak up, speak out, and mobilise our initiatives and social impact efforts with excellence.

It has been awesome receiving feedback from teachers, learners, district leaders, and executive staff who have shared how these engagements are creating positive impact.

One circuit manager shared with me how a school took the learnings from a learning session at GIBS and implemented those learnings with excellence within their school community.

A teacher liaison officer was so inspired that she invited us to engage young people at a youth empowerment conference, focusing on youth and young adults as change champions.

In the mix, we have drawn on the national campaign by Heartlines , which is mobilising the positive, active presence of men and fathers for the wellbeing of children, women, men, families, and communities.

The campaign has been used as a social impact idea and conversation starter, challenging learner representatives, teacher liaison officers, and school management teams to reflect:

What is our school community’s positive impact idea?

How do we move beyond simply being schools, and become 'woke schools' — schools that are awake, conscious, values-driven, and committed to the wellbeing and flourishing of our communities?

It has been inspiring to see schools begin imagining their own positive social impact initiatives and recognising that every learner, teacher, parent, and leader has a role to play in creating meaningful change.

It is our hope to continue mobilising with excellence, and we look forward to building partnerships with people who may be interested in supporting, journeying alongside us, and helping us magnify and mobilise our efforts.

Together, we continue to believe in the power of values-based leadership, education, and collective action to transform schools and communities.

Courageous Conversations: Leaning on Values for Lasting Impact
Seth Naicker | 6 June 2026

It was awesome serving today with the Mathew Goniwe School of Leadership and Governance and GIBS , engaging high school principals and School Governing Body members — the governors of our schools.
I was grateful to speak, facilitate reflection, and interact with participants as we considered how grounding ourselves in values can help us navigate the storms that often prevent us from realizing excellence in teaching and learning.

We drew on resources from Heartlines' Fathers Matter campaign as an example of a positive values-based social impact initiative. Participants appreciated both the inspiration and the practical resources available to engage parents, families, mothers, fathers, and children in meaningful conversations and action.

We also used an activity called Lean on Me, filled with group body movement and reflection on the challenges of trying to carry life's burdens on our own. Participants shared powerful reflections of pain, discomfort, anxiety, and isolation. As we shifted into the "Lean on Me" movement, the reflections changed. People spoke about feeling encouraged, supported, connected, and reminded that together we can make it.

To put the cherry on top, we closed by singing Lean on Me together.
As I wished the schools well on their journey ahead to turn things around, we took a moment of silence and reflected on a prophetic truth: what may seem impossible today can become possible when we work together with courage, values, and purpose.
I reminded our participants that positive social impact is not achieved alone. It is built through relationships, shared responsibility, and a commitment to lean on one another as we work towards lasting change.

As we reflected together, another truth emerged: it always seems impossible until it is done. The challenges facing our schools are real, but so too is the potential of people working together, grounded in values and committed to the flourishing of every learner.
