MAPITSO 'The BlackDiamond' Masha from Polokwane is changing lives through education after founding the Bana Ba Thari Autism Foundation last year, an initiative inspired by her young nephew, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of two.

"That's when I started doing some research and learning more about autism," Masha told BONUS. Her foundation was born from a deep desire to support autistic children and their families by offering education, resources, and promoting research aimed at understanding the condition and improving quality of life for those affected. "I work with families, experts, and professionals to provide current, reliable information about autism, the various approaches, and the available services," Masha said.
