The partnership was announced at the launch of the campaign on Wednesday, 30 March, in Johannesburg.

Lira said she plans to inspire people to walk with joy. “It’s not enough to know freedom, I need to live it! The joy I take in living it every day is what gives me the drive to persevere and is the key to the successes I celebrate today,” the multi-platinum selling musician said in a statement.

Way to go, Lira.
