Our People

Mamelani is made up of a team of eight South African employees. Carly Tanur, founder and director of the organization and Sadicka Ahmed, the administrator form the administrative arm of the organization. Cleopatra Sawuti, Nomvuyo Mbele, Rosie Stunda and Thandi Blie are the facilitators who run all our Wellness Programme. Patrick Mzamo Sidelo is our Youth Worker who runs Project Lungisela.

We have three members on our Board of Trustees. Dr Beverley Draper from the Department of Health Western Cape and the Department of Public Health and Family Medicine, UCT, Lisa Katzeff from Investec Bank and Kabir Bavikatte of Natural Justice. Their combination of medical, financial and legal knowledge, as well as their strong support of our vision, are of great benefit to the organisation.
