Selected from 1000’s of nominations made by readers across South Africa, 8 heartwarming nominee stories were selected and featured on Sponsors of Brave: The Gratitude Season. From these 8, two ultimately were chosen to walk away with the grand prize of an exciting opportunity to pursue a passion project of their choice.

Through this passion project, the winners have received an opportunity to give back to their communities and chosen charity to the value of R25,000.

With so many inspirational featured stories of brave pharmacists, it came down to the readers’ and judges’ votes to pick the winners.

It is with great honour that Adcock Ingram OTC and Sponsors of Brave introduce to you the Judges’ Choice Winner: JACQUI CLAPTON -CLUBVILLE PHARMACY

The judges did not have an easy time choosing a winner, they were looking for a story that truly showed a sense of Ubuntu and deep care toward their fellow South Africans that inspired and moved their community.

After hearing the inspiring story of Jacqui Clapton and Clubville Pharmacy, it became clear that their team plays a vital role in the local community of Middelburg. This was exemplified by the community’s quick response to helping the Clubville team get back on their feet when tragedy struck with the fire that damaged the pharmacy in April 2021.

The Sponsors of Brave team joined Jacqui Clapton and the staff of Clubville Pharmacy as they paid it forward to the Bethesda House of Hope.

Watch as Jacqui and Clubville Pharmacy make an incredible impact on the lives of the children at Bethesda House of Hope below:

Did you know this about Johannesburg? In 1971 the South African Broadcasting Corporation was eventually allowed to introduce a television service. When television was finally introduced, there was only one channel with airtime divided evenly between English and Afrikaans, alternating between the two languages. Test transmissions in Johannesburg began on 5 May 1975, followed in July by ones in Cape Town and Durban. Nationwide services finally commenced on 5 January 1976.

Ponte City: The Vertical Microcosm

Designed by architect Rodney Grosskopff, Ponte City was envisioned as the ultimate in “jet-set” urban living. It was the first circular skyscraper in Africa, designed with a hollow “core” or “atrium” that allowed light into the apartments from both sides. When it opened, it was one of the most prestigious addresses in Johannesburg. The top three floors were massive, multi-level penthouses equipped with saunas, wine cellars, and shag carpeting, offering 360-degree views of the Highveld. The bottom levels featured high-end retail and even a bowling alley. It was a playground for the young, wealthy, and white during the height of the Apartheid era.
