Youth leadership development takes centre stage following the successful 5th RCL Workshop and Leadership Induction hosted by the Lindokuhle Mfana Foundation, in collaboration with the SANAC Civil Society Forum Youth Sector.
The initiative brought together young leaders from schools to equip them with practical leadership skills, while also exposing them to broader societal issues such as health, governance, and community development.
A key voice in the programme is Tshepo Mazola Lekwape, who serves as Johannesburg Chairperson within civic society structures and the South African Youth Council. His involvement highlights the importance of aligning youth leadership with national development priorities and civic participation.
The workshop also addressed critical social challenges, including Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF), youth health, and access to opportunities, while encouraging learners to take active roles in shaping their communities.
As a joint programme with the SANAC CSF Youth Sector, the initiative reflects a growing push toward multi-stakeholder collaboration in tackling youth development challenges.
At its core, the programme aims to empower young people not just as future leaders, but as active agents of change in the present.
