Discover the real stories of progress with Ithala

Is it simply stepping forward, moving forward to a better position? Is it having more, or having more of what you want? Is it having what you need, or could it be leaving behind the uncertainty of life to knowing for certain?

What if progress is the empowerment of those who have none, the inclusion of those on the outskirts of technology and financial access?

If all these things are how progress should be defined, it is the people who have been empowered, have grown and made progress, who have the real story to tell. But how do we honour them by hearing and reading their stories?

If you really want to discover what it is that pushes people to reach for progress, one way is to follow in their footsteps.

MyIthalaStory.com is one such source - the historic innovative blog follows the footsteps of people who have met their definition of progress. Through real stories about real people, the reality-based blog will help inspire you by showing the real-life journeys our people have made on their way to reach their dream. 

Filled with articles, videos, images, and live streams, you will have the opportunity to see how the progress of KwaZulu-Natal’s populace has been redefined, from CFOs abandoning their BMWs to reach their farming dreams or people born into poverty have beaten all odds to redefine their own progress.
