1. A Brand, Brave new world of Social Justice
This inspiring video from 1998 tells the story of Melkhoutfontein, 10 km from the resort town of Stilbaai, Western Cape, South Africa. In 1991 the Human Science Research Council showed Melkhoutfontein to be one of the most deprived communities in the Western Cape with an 85% unemployment rate. However, as documented in the video, a tourism-focused local economic development strategy led by Anthea, to work with the community to innovate the challenges into solutions, transformed the community from a ‘no go’ to ‘must go to’ destination. This led to the formation of the Dreamcatcher South Africa.
