‘This recognition is a testament to the impact of his efforts over the years. We are proud to have his leadership and vision as part of Sonke, and we celebrate this milestone with him,’ ’said Bafana Khumalo, Sonke’s Co-Executive Director.
Sonke applauds his work and wishes him well as he expands his advocacy in the global arena to advance disability rights.
‘I’m truly humbled to receive this recognition from the Presidency. It shows that the fight for the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities is seen and heard. This journey has not been mine alone, but it’s been a collective effort of various partners within the civil society space, and I look forward to continuing this work with communities, allies and governments to challenge social injustices,” said Nkosinathi Ndlovu.
It is our belief as Sonke that, this accolade will serve as advocacy for the rights of people with disabilities.
