Embarking on a remarkable endeavour, Angela Yeung, the visionary founder of the Impilo Collection Foundation and the ambassador of ‘Brand South Africa – play your part’, is gearing up for an extraordinary climb up the daunting Manaslu, standing tall at 8 136 metres. This challenge surpasses her previous triumph on the Island Peak at 6 200m last year.
Manaslu, dubbed the ‘mountain of the spirit’, graces the ranks as the eighth-highest peak globally, nestled within Nepal’s majestic Himalayas. The mountain’s name is rooted in the Sanskrit term manasa , signifying ‘intellect’ or ‘soul’.
The driving force behind Yeung’s ascent is a compelling mission: to spotlight and combat the harrowing issue of gender-based violence (GBV). Her daring expedition aims to channel funds toward an educational sanctuary that will empower and uplift young women who have faced the brunt of GBV.
