The Freelance Collective | Season 2 Trailer

Freelance Pledge Launch

Nelson Mandela once said, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”  There is an indication that the freelance industry in South Africa is experiencing significant growth, with more people turning to freelancing as a viable career option, that is why BeyondMedia [https://www.beyondmediasa.co.za/blog/south-african-employers-commit-to-uplifting-freelancers-by-signing-the-freelance-pledge] is calling upon South African businesses, non-governmental organisations, government, and individuals to join in fighting unemployment and creating more work opportunities. In support and promotion of freelancing in South Africa, BeyondMedia launched the ‘freelance pledge', which intends to level the playing field for freelancers in the job market.  Founder and CEO of BeyondMedia, Zola Brunner, joined Dee Nkomo on Capricorn's Afternoon Drive show to talk about the freelance pledge launch. Listen to the conversation and get involved.  1. Sign the freelance pledge [https://www.beyondmediasa.co.za/freelancer-pledge] as a sign of commitment.  2.
