Man the F Up: Sivuyile "Siv" Ngesi at TEDxTableMountain

Spurred on by a hunger for success, South African actor-comedian Sivuyile "Siv" Ngesi is well on his way to reaching his goals. He showcases his talents across a number of platforms with accolades such as his cinema role in Long Walk to Freedom and his award winning one man stand up show "Race Card". Describing himself as "motivated and inspired", Siv draws his inspiration from his parents, and he is "crazy" enough to believe he can change the world. Siv's talk at TEDxTableMountain tackles the monster issue of rape. This passionate man is on a mission to recruit all men, particularly South African men to join in a war against rape, a war of minds and hearts. Siv makes the point that it is high time that men stand up against rape and violence against women and children, and serve the protective role that he envisages.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
