Calling on everyone! The USDU in collaboration with WAQE (Woman and Q***r Empowerment) is having a live charity debate. Two world class debaters , Lehakoe Masedi and Corlia Kritzinger will be debating a motion on social justice.
For every viewer that watches , both the USDU and WAQE will donate R 1 each to the Covid 19 Solidarity Fund. That means if 500 people watch , that's a R 1 000 donation !!! Set reminders and tell your friends!
