Johannesburg – Sunday World will celebrate South Africa’s unsung heroes during Youth Month in June.
Tell us all about the heroes you know so that we can highlight how they make our world a better place. It could be a person you share a workspace, community centre, sports field with or lives down your street.
It could be someone who goes about their work tirelessly to brighten your day or make people’s lives in towns and villages across South Africa easier.
Maybe your hero is someone who runs an inspirational project or leads a forward-thinking company. We are looking for a resilient young hero who prefers action than talk.
They are between the ages of 18 and 35 years, are leaders in their field but remain unsung and their work largely unrecognised.
Help Sunday World, which aims to uplift societies through innovation, recognise and honour these people whose contribution is positively impacting communities by nominating them as Unsung Heroes.
Sunday World Unsung Heroes will for generations to come define and identify changemakers who are poised to become our leaders. Sunday World Unsung Heroes has four categories and the nomination form is easy to complete.
You could win R10 000 in our lucky draw if the Unsung Hero nominated is chosen for profiling in a Sunday World special edition.
The Sunday World Unsung Heroes of 2021 will be celebrated during a special live virtual event.
