About
I am a passionate civic leader, politician and social entrepreneur committed to building a more inclusive and accountable society. My journey in leadership began at the grassroots level in 2009, working to uplift communities and equip young people who like me, dream of a better future but often lack the right opportunities.
In 2018 I took a bold step by running as an independent candidate for Member of Parliament. Without political backing or mentorship, I embraced the challenge, driven by my belief that leadership should be about service, not status. That experience taught me resilience and reinforced my commitment to transformative governance.
Over the years, I’ve engaged in civic leadership programs across Africa, including the YALI Regional Leadership Program at UNISA, where I deepened my understanding of human-centered design and community driven solutions. My work has taken me to global platforms, from BRICS discussions in Russia 🇷🇺 to youth mentorship programs where I advocate for policies that genuinely uplift marginalized communities.
I believe that leadership isn’t just about holding ooffice, but it's s about making real change happen.
