Season 2 of \u2018Sponsors of Brave\u2019 is now open for nominations – calling all aspiring, current, or recently graduated and community service healthcare students boldly and bravely changing the world around them.<\/p>\n

The 2020 Sponsors of Brave campaign \u2013 a partnership between Adcock Ingram OTC and News24 \u2013 aims to celebrate the unsung heroes and brave professionals in healthcare. In particular, season 2 recognises that pursuing a career in healthcare during the height of a pandemic is the definition of a Generation of Brave and aims to shine a spotlight on the succession of healthcare heroes.<\/p>\n

Setting the bar high<\/p>\n

Season 1 of the Sponsors of Brave campaign was a runaway success, showcasing the depth and breadth of heroism all around us. Some 3 800 heroes from the front lines of healthcare in South Africa were nominated and 12 finalists emerged to have their stories shared and amplified. By the end of the competition, over 3.2 million readers engaged with the campaign, and two worthy winners were chosen, earning R25 000 for each of their preferred charities and a trip to an overseas medical conference of their choosing.<\/p>\n

Nominations cast a wide net, culminating with two winning entries: Pharmacist and community cornerstone Nontutuzelo Sibango from the Eastern Cape who captured the public\u2019s heart through her work supporting young athletes in her community and clinic founder Dr Hugo Templeman of Ndlovu Care Group in Limpopo was the Judges choice.<\/p>\n

Yudhveer Singh, FD of Adcock Ingram OTC Division remarked that \u201cWe were blown away by the scale of nominations and the calibre of the healthcare Professionals who ultimately won in the first season. It is exciting to anticipate what new champions season 2 will introduce as we recognise aspiring healthcare professionals who personified practicing the Hippocratic oath during Covid-19\u201d.<\/p>\n

Time to step up<\/p>\n

Now, as our energy to face what is left of 2020 wanes, we need fresh faces that bring new stories and successes to celebrate and reinvigorate the nation. This is why the focus for season 2 is on students, graduates and those in community service gearing up to enter the healthcare profession during this unprecedented time in history.<\/p>\n

Despite everything 2020 has thrown at them \u2013 business and school closures, shrinking term dates, rising unemployment, and exceptional uncertainty \u2013 our budding healthcare professionals have proven to be resilient.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year has been incredibly trying, but our Sponsors of Brave campaign is all about hope and heroism,\u201d says Andrea Firth, Commercial Editor of BrandStudio24 \u201cBravery is not about the absence of fear, but of continuing on despite it. We want to give credit where it is due, and we want to demonstrate to this next generation \u2013 who have already faced so much \u2013 that we believe in them, and we will invest in them and their futures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did you know this about Johannesburg?<\/strong> After the Great Trek European pastoralists started settling in the Transvaal. Some of them chose to farm where Johannesburg was to rise later. Each burgher (citizen) was entitled to at least one farm, measuring 1500 morgen or about 3100 acres. The first recorded discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand was made by Jan Gerrit Bantjes in June 1884, on the farm Vogelstruisfontein.<\/p>\n
