The Soul City Institute for Health and Development Communication

The Soul City Institute is about improving lives; about changing situations for the better. It is about health communication; about individuals and communities focusing on human development. Soul City South Africa is about showing people what is possible, what they can do, what social change means and how to achieve great things for one's health.

Areas of work

In South Africa, we achieve our change via the following branded programmes:

  • The multi-award-winning Soul City, our most established and most famous brand
  • The internationally acclaimed Soul Buddyz, a popular social brand for children as well as, Buddyz on the Move
  • Kwanda, a world-first real-life TV show based on the exciting concept of a community makeover, where volunteers work together to build better lives for all
  • The Untold and Love series, half hour films for television from 10 countries in southern Africa which tackle the issue of multiple concurrent partners.

These mass media communication vehicles span prime-time TV, radio drama across all languages and high-quality glossy booklets, and also the Internet and new media. Soul City has also partnered with organisations in the region:
