The Just for a Change podcast is back with a brand new season to provoke and inspire!
Presenting Season 4 of the Just for a Change podcast powered by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship which explores the theme “The Power of Connections”.
The pursuit of social justice requires the effort of many, and in the work that the Bertha Centre does we have seen powerful intersections driving society towards positive change.
In this new season, discussions with social entrepreneurs, innovators, thought leaders and activists spotlight the unexpected connections, surprising overlaps, and unusual alignments in the work being done locally and globally to uplift and empower our society. Topics range from getting a second chance at finishing high school, to research into recycling waste for agriculture, and the role representation plays in empowering communities.
Among our guests are social entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, grassroots organisations, NPOs, impact investors, start-up founders with real stories of personal triumph and innovative problem-solving.
Our podcast host Ntombini Marrengane, Bertha Centre’s Senior Manager, is an urban researcher and international development specialist.
The Bertha Centre is the first specialised centre in Africa dedicated to advancing social innovation and entrepreneurship and focuses on researching, educating, convening, catalysing and advocating for social, environmental and economic justice.

S4, Ep.5 What does a helicopter have to do with emergency heart surgery?
Imagine a world where quality healthcare services are available to all, and where technology enables and enhances access. Where those living in rural areas can access the same healthcare services as those in urban areas. SA Red Cross Air Mercy Service Trust (AMS), a non-profit aero-medical rescue organisation working in partnership with the Provincial Departments of Health in South Africa, is playing its part to make this a reality.
This episode explores bringing healthcare to those most affected by geographic and economic disparities with the CEO of AMS, Farhaad Haffajee. Amongst other things, AMS runs a project called Outreach Healthcare to remote rural communities, taking health expertise to rural areas so that those seeking healthcare are diagnosed earlier and receive proper healthcare sooner. We also hear from Francesca Lanzarotti of the Reach Alliance research team that is investigating maternal healthcare and access for women with disabilities in Nepal. These everyday heroes are changing the landscape of healthcare and access for some of the most vulnerable communities both locally and globally.
