Over the past few month’s journalists, healthcare and essential workers have been doing crucial work every day but they haven’t been receiving the recognition they deserve. Hence, South African Telecommunications company is calling on all South Africans to “shout-out” their Covid-19 heroes who are doing exceptional work during the lockdown.
“We are faced with unprecedented challenges as a nation, but we can overcome this crisis if we all stand together and support each other. We want to celebrate the men and women going the extra mile every day to ensure South Africa comes out of this crisis as safely as possible, as it is their example of empathy and kindness that each one of us should seek to emulate,” said Jacqui O’Sullivan, Corporate Affairs Executive at MTN South Africa.
To highlight your hero, or heroes, or an organisation that is doing phenomenal work, simply post their story to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, remembering to tag @MTNza with the hashtag #WeGoodTogether. In addition, the best stories and profiles will be showcased on the MTN Everyday Heroes mobi-site.
“We want to celebrate every hero that walks among us. It doesn’t matter who it is, or what they’ve done. We started collecting shout-outs on Friday, and already there are some beautiful stories. Please keep them coming as we stand together to celebrate the good work done and give all of our Everyday Heroes the encouragement and support, they need, to keep going,” concludes O’Sullivan.
