Programme sparks
innovation
A t the beginning of this year, Zibele Blekiwe, Nature Conservator at Kogelberg
Biosphere Reserve, was fortunate enough to be selected through the Youth Development Programme to be part of Activate Leadership Programme. The programme is aimed at social transformation of South Africans at large. “The group is made up of young professionals, the unem-ployed and the NGO’S sector, thus bringing people from all levels and spheres of society together to discuss matters pertaining to our country.” Zibele explained. The programme aims to activate young leaders and their abilities to address challenges facing their communities, spark innovation on a local and national level and grow a dynamic network of leaders and points of influence across South Africa. “I would like to thank Trevor Farr, Youth Development Programme Manager for the opportunity his programmed afforded us”, Zibele concluded.
