17-year-old Capetonian. Jayde Scadgell, and 19-year-old Sandile Lucky Ntuli from Gauteng, were chosen as the 2016 Faces of Oxy Hero Edition and have each donated R5000 to a charity of their choice to help make a real difference to the lives of others.

“To me, a hero is a game and mindset changer, someone admired for their courage and noble qualities,” says Ntuli. “I am so excited to have won and thrilled that I will be joining a squad of game changers. The greatest thing is knowing that my win also benefits an organisation that contributes to the safety of women and children.”

Ntuli, who won R5000 for himself and R5000 for a charity of his choice, chose the Women’s Shelter Movement as his beneficiary because he believes women are the architects of society.

“The duty of protecting women and children should be performed every day of the year, not just over Women’s Month in August. The Women’s Shelter Movement ensures that women and children affected by gender-based violence are protected at all costs,” he says.
 
Scadgell is a born and bred surfer girl, who is a member of the Western Province Longboarding team. Her long term goals are to ultimately open a surf shop and school in California, where she can teach people all about her love of the ocean. Her charity of choice is the Sunflower Fund, which is a South African non-profit organisation dedicated to creating awareness, educating the public and facilitating the registration process for people to join the South African Bone Marrow Registry.

Along with each winning R5000 for themselves and R5000 for their charity of choice, both Scadgell and Ntuli will have their likeliness immortalised as a superhero cartoon caricature to join the Oxy Super Hero Squad who aim to create healthy looking skin across South Africa.

After donating the monies to each of the charities mentioned, the duo's next superhero act will be to encourage members of the community to join them as they form an Oxy Squad to build and renovate homes in Orange Farm (Gauteng) and Mfuleni (Western Cape) with Habitat for Humanity South Africa in October.
