Raising Awareness and Making a Difference in Communities
Welcome to Nhlanhla Care, a dedicated section highlighting the inspiring journey and impactful initiatives of Nhlanhla Nciza, lead singer of Mafikizolo. Nhlanhla is passionately raising awareness about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and sharing her personal story of overcoming this challenge.
Nhlanhla Mafu, a celebrated South African artist, has been exposed to high levels of noise throughout her 27-year career. In 2022, she was diagnosed with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), a condition she suspected between 2012 and 2013 but was too afraid to address publicly. Now, Nhlanhla bravely shares her experience and solutions with mining professionals and other high-noise industries, advocating for improved workplace safety to prevent hearing loss. Read more
