Karabo Seema is a 4th year nursing student at the SG Lourens Nursing College in Pretoria. Besides being very passionate about her profession, Karabo is an advocate for human rights and a strong voice for the emancipation of women and marginalised communities.”

I am passionate about the profession I am in because it allows me to change and advocate for the people I render service to,” Karabo says. “Nursing allows me to educate people and raise awareness in society on various health issues and this helps to eradicate the fear and stigma of being judged when accessing healthcare services.”

Karabo was paired with mentor Kagiso Tukisi, a Midwifery and Neonatal Care Lecturer at Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University. “I have trained many nurses in my life and with Karabo I can see she’s a caring person,” he says. “You cannot be taught how to care – it needs to be something that is intrinsic.”

Did you know this about Johannesburg? At the northern extremity of Johannesburg was Parktown, already known for its exclusivity and extreme wealth. Sir Lionel Phillips was the first Randlord to build a mansion in Parktown. “Hohenheim” was built in 1894 and demolished in 1972 to make way for the Johannesburg Academic Hospital. Sunny Side Park was designed by Frank Emley for Hennen Jennings and completed in 1896. Today it is part of the Sunny Side Park Hotel. “The View” was completed in 1897. It was built by Charles Aburrow as the residence of Sir Thomas Cullinan.

The Wilds: Rebirth

The “rebirth” of The Wilds is one of the most heartening community success stories in modern Johannesburg history. It was spearheaded by local artist James Delaney and a dedicated group of volunteers starting around 2013. Delaney began by simply clearing dead wood and trimming overgrown paths on his own, but the project soon evolved into a massive public-private partnership. The most iconic addition to the park during this revival was the installation of over 100 laser-cut steel sculptures of animals. These brightly colored owls, giraffes, antelopes, and monkeys are perched in the trees and tucked behind rocks, turning a walk through the reserve into a scavenger hunt for “industrial wildlife.”

Today, The Wilds is a thriving, safe, and dog-friendly space that hosts yoga classes, art exhibitions, and thousands of visitors every weekend. It has become a symbol of “active citizenship”—the idea that the residents of Johannesburg don’t have to wait for the government to fix their city; they can take ownership of their own neighborhoods. The park is also a critical ecological corridor; in a city that is increasingly paved over, The Wilds provides a habitat for indigenous birdlife and insects that would otherwise struggle to survive in the “concrete jungle.”
