World Leprosy Day | 25 January 2026

Yesterday, 25 January 2026, we observed World Leprosy Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness, reducing stigma, and promoting early diagnosis and treatment of leprosy.

What is leprosy?
Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory tract, and eyes.

Key facts about leprosy:
-It is not highly contagious and is not spread through casual contact such as shaking hands or sitting next to someone.

-The disease spreads mainly through prolonged close contact with untreated individuals via respiratory droplets.

-Early diagnosis and treatment prevent disability and long-term complications.

Despite common misconceptions, leprosy still exists today, with cases reported in several parts of the world.

World Leprosy Day reminds us of the importance of education, compassion, and inclusion. By increasing awareness, we can help eliminate stigma and ensure that those affected receive timely care and support.

Together, we can support a future free from discrimination and preventable disability.

Although we are full steam back at work, we decided to have a bit of fun in between meetings.
Retha, our Sales Manager, prides herself on two things: being the best sales representative for BGM and knowing her Coke. As a self-confessed Coca-Cola enthusiast, she claims she can tell the different types apart with ease.
So, naturally, we decided to put her to the test with a blind taste challenge.
Watch the video to see whether Retha’s taste buds lived up to the hype — she scored 3 out of 5.

Health note: Sugar-sweetened beverages should be enjoyed in moderation, as excessive sugar intake can negatively affect overall health. A healthier everyday alternative is water infused with fresh fruit or herbs, or sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon refreshing, flavourful, and much better for your body.

Enough is Enough. 💔

At BGM, we stand firmly against Gender-Based Violence in South Africa.
Every day, women and girls in our country face fear, pain, and trauma that no human being should ever have to endure. Their stories are real, their wounds are deep, and their voices deserve to be heard.

To every woman who has suffered in silence…
To every mother, sister, daughter, friend, and colleague affected…
We see you. We stand with you. You are not alone.

Gender-based violence is not just a women’s issue - it is a national crisis, and we cannot remain silent.
Enough is enough.

Let us unite as a country, as communities, and as human beings to protect, support, and uplift the women of South Africa. Their safety, dignity, and lives matter.

💜

Did You Know?

Each of your kidneys contains around one million tiny filters called nephrons, and they work 24/7 to clean your blood! These incredible structures remove waste, balance fluids and electrolytes, and help regulate blood pressure.

Your kidneys may be small, but they’re powerful.
