Life with KJ will be showcasing local community heroes that are affecting positive change, focusing on stories in the news and other stories South Africans often don’t hear about. The show hopes to inspire by featuring heroes from all walks of life. Every week the audience will be invited to nominate people that are creating positive change in their communities.
