Deaf Awareness Month | Progress and challenges for the deaf community

September marks Deaf Awareness Month, shining a spotlight on efforts to build a more inclusive society for deaf and hard-of-hearing South Africans.

We're looking at the progress made towards creating greater accessibility and inclusion, while also examining the challenges that remain.

Joining us in studio is Busisiwe Ndebele, a deaf content creator, alongside her interpreter, Dimakatso Motimela.
