Meet Muneiwa Magadani, a 25-year-old from South Africa who’s mastering traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture—and proving that cultural exchange is the ultimate power-up for global youth.
Four years into her TCM studies, Muneiwa discovered a world where ancient healing meets modern curiosity. 'I’ve seen patients recover through acupuncture when other treatments failed—it’s like unlocking a secret level in healthcare,' she shares, referencing her hands-on training in cupping, massage, and herbal remedies.
But TCM is just the start. Through her journey, Muneiwa learned Mandarin, Tai Chi, and the art of tea ceremonies—all fueled by BRICS-driven programs like the Confucius Institute. 'These opportunities are like cheat codes to understanding China,' she laughs. 'And it’s all thanks to BRICS connecting our countries.'
With BRICS nations boosting economic and cultural ties, stories like Muneiwa’s spotlight how young people are bridging continents—one acupuncture needle at a time.
