Nokhaya Goes Green


 Nokhaya Makrexeni our SA gospel artist and Children Mercy Ambassador will join the world in celebrating this year’s World Wetlands Day 2011.

“It is a good thing for us to look after our planet.” Said Nokhaya. Started singing gospel in 2004,. And she has 3 albums under her name.

“I am glad that Food & Trees for Africa has invited me to such a great initiative. These are some of the things we ignore whereas it is important in our lives.” Said Nokhaya.

“I promise to give my best during the event. The people of Tembisa are up for a great perfomance.” Continued Nokhaya.


Wetlands and Forests is the theme for the World Wetlands Day 2011. This year is intended to raise awareness about the ‘big picture’ on forests and wetlands to help develop national and local messages on the theme. It marks the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea.

Each year since 1997, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and groups of citizens at all levels of the community have taken advantage of the opportunity to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular.
