People of Note - Brent Van Rensburg

Loading player...
On People of Note this week I’ll be talking to Brent Van Rensburg who is the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of the Zip Zap Circus which was launched 30 years ago and which has had more than 20,000 students passing through it and which has been on numerous international tours. It was formed to bridge socio-economic gaps and to inspire and empower young people to build a new culture of peaceful co-existence in South Africa. It’s a fascinating story and you can hear it in this week’s edition of People of Note, brought to you by PTP.
