KOTEX SA s newest campaign dubbed #changethetune has the Twitter streets talking, with many arguing it is not relatable.
The menstrual hygiene brand recently partnered with television personality Boity Thulo, in hopes to start conversations, raise awareness, and bust period stereotypes.
âWe are changing the tune about periods and getting women to celebrate their periods. They are a symbol of our strength and our power,â Boity said. Together weâre changing Labantwana Ama Uber into Labantwana Abo She Can, creating social change through music. Period or not, she can, the brand said.

Thousands of Gauteng learners were left vulnerable when the provincial Department of Social Development (DSD) failed to deliver their dignity packs in recent months.
The Department of Women, Youths and Persons with Disabilities (DWYPD) launched the Sanitary Dignity Programme in 2019. The programme was meant to implemented for quantile one to three schools. The National Treasury also made funds available so that the programme could run in all nine provinces.
As we face the realities of the climate crisis, the effects of which increase daily, the future looks bleak. Youth from all over the world are uncertain, we are scared of what our futures hold. Even scarier is the not-so-ridiculous possibility that we won’t have a future at all. However, the greatest horror is how world leaders have reacted to the climate crisis.
The science is clear and the facts are available in abundance. Their ignorance and apathy is deliberate.
In January 2020, my matric year, I began to boycott school every Friday, demanding that the South African government and the Department of Environmental Affairs declare a climate emergency. I sat outside the school gates, alone on the first day, in a desperate attempt to force them to listen.
