Zukile Ndzoyiya for #YouthMonth

If there is no youth leadership, the future leaders will never emerge, and there will be no one to carry forward the responsibility of guiding the community or the nation. We express our gratitude to the youth of 1976 who displayed courage and took the initiative to fight for transformation and a brighter future for South Africa. Today we celebrate the current generation of young leaders, who are making a difference in their own small yet impactful ways, contributing to positive change and growth within their homes, schools, churches, communities, and the country.

One of Nelson Mandela University’s themes for this year’s #YouthMonth is Young Leadership. Throughout the month we will be celebrating the university’s student & alumni leaders.

Nelson Mandela University’s celebration of young people is continued through the focus of student leaders within the institution. Such an exemplary leader is Bizana born and raised - Zukile Ndzoyiya. Zukile is currently pursuing his advanced diploma in management practice and is also the incumbent Deputy President of the Student Representative Council (SRC). Zukile asserts that his involvement with student politics is necessitated by a need to help disadvantaged students and stresses the importance of unity amongst the youth of South Africa.

Youth month means so many different things to different people, please send us a short video or essay or poem of you telling us what youth month means to you as the present-day South African youth at: socialmedia@mandela.ac.za
