Danny K, Kabelo Mabalane Shout4Masks: Celebs work with Discovery to deliver PPE
In South Africa, many hospitals struggle to procure sufficient medical equipment – including basics such as face masks and hand sanitisers. Since the start of the pandemic, we have seen myriad organisations and good hearted individuals step up to the plate, doing what they can to assist the brave medical practitioners on the front line. One such organisation is Shout4Masks. Created by South African musicians Danny K and Kabelo Mabalane, the dynamic duo – together with Discovery Vitality – have set out to provide masks to those who are really in need of protection, such as doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners who work in ill-equipped healthcare facilities – Jarryd Neves
Well, the Covid pandemic may seem to be on the decline in South Africa, but that doesn't mean that we can't protect or shouldn't be protecting ourselves. There's an initiative called Shout4Masks, which was put together by celebrities Danny K and Kabelo Mabalane. Danny is with us. Also have in this discussion today is James Vos, who's the head of Vitality Strategic Programmes. Danny, a number of celebrities have got involved in the pandemic and it's fantastic to see that you give of your time and leverage your personalities into supporting all of this. What got Shout4Masks started and why in that direction?
