Meet Ayanda Ndamane, award-winning photojournalist, former taxi gaatjie and SANDF soldier, with his feet firmly planted in the community.
His work spans hard news, community outreach and sports.
Through his lens, he highlights social issues affecting marginalised communities in townships and on the Cape Flats.
Our conversation touched on the dangers of doing his job in the field, the prevalence of IP theft of his work, which is a growing trend in the media industry.
He also runs an empowerment project mentoring young men into productive members of society and helping stem the tide of violence against women, where most perpetrators are men.
Catch my conversation with Ayanda on The Media and Marketing Show.
