Introducing Lona Matuntuta as the Communications & Advocacy Intern. With a background in journalism and a passion for meaningful communication, Lona is drawn to the power of language to build trust, spark ideas, and create genuine connections. She values clarity, empathy, and honesty – qualities that shape both her professional work and personal interactions.
Lona holds a Bachelor of Journalism from Rhodes University, where she honed her skills in storytelling, critical thinking, and media engagement. Her love for storytelling extends beyond the professional realm – whether it’s through reading, writing short stories (and accidentally losing them), or curating music playlists that match a mood or moment.
Outside of work, Lona enjoys exploring different forms of narrative, from binge-worthy series to experimental recipes in the kitchen.
Curious, thoughtful, and creative, Lona brings a fresh perspective to the team, with a strong belief in the role of communication in driving change.
