📽Watch a summarised recap of the final workshop of the MYLCA for 2026!

🤝The EXCO of the MYLCA wishes to thank each and every delegate for their determination and commitment to completing this year's programme.

🗳️This was a small step in the right direction in getting young South Africans politically literate to engage in societal matters and execute their civic responsibilities.

🇿🇦May this be the beginning of a lifelong commitment to empower young leaders across South Africa (and the world) to protect our constitutional democracy!

Another unforgettable workshop, locked in! 🔏

Our delegates levelled up their leadership journey by learning how to debate with confidence, master the rules of a parliamentary debate, build a personal brand as a leader, discover their political identity, and craft persuasive arguments, all in preparation for the final workshop in September.

A massive thank you to our incredible facilitators for investing their time, knowledge and passion into the next generation of South African leaders: Zinziswa Ntshanyana, Nane Zietsman, Joshua Dickinson, Lorna Smith, and Mynhardt Krüger.

A special thank you also goes to our "mystery guest", Adv. Glynnis Breytenbach, Chief Whip of the Democratic Alliance in Parliament, for joining us and inspiring our delegates with her leadership and experience.

Now the real challenge begins... 👀🏛️

Our delegates are now preparing for their simulated Parliamentary debate, where they'll assume the role of Members of Parliament and debate inside Parliament's chambers this September. Months of learning are about to be seen in action, and we can't wait to see them take the floor!

Finally, a huge shoutout to TSIBA Business School for once again opening your doors to us. Your generosity in hosting the first two MYLCA workshops has created a space where young leaders can learn, connect and grow.

MYLCA is more than a series of workshops: it's a movement that develops informed, confident and engaged young South Africans.

Learn Today. Lead Tomorrow. 🇿🇦

"In the sacrifices that were borne by Hector Pieterson and many other young people, there seemed to lie an answer. That the destiny of the youth was the grave and the hangman's noose, detention and long terms of imprisonment, exile and banishment... Now is the time to join the majority in building a new and glorious future." - President Nelson Mandela
