Yonela Sinqu joined Sisonke as a Communications, Membership and Evaluation Officer during the trying times of Covid-19. Coming from a media background after more than 10 years behind the desk as a reporter, lay out artist and photographer, she is Jack if not Jill of all trades. Passionate about community development with a passion for languages, she is able to communicate in five of the 11 official South African languages, yet, is interested to add a couple more including those out of the country. An activist and humanitarian at heart, she followed a career in journalism. A graduate from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Yonela embraces change and diversity with a keen interest to tell the stories of others either on camera or in written form. A young woman of not so many words from the Eastern Cape, Yonela lets her work do the talking.
