The Fort Hare Autumn School's Youth Leadership Program nurtures progressive leaders who strive for a better South Africa. Joining 25 politically engaged and talented students from Eastern Cape Universities, I've enhanced my critical thinking, leadership qualities, and knowledge of Social Democracy and Political Economy. It's not just about education; it's about building networks with like-minded activists and academics, united by the values of freedom, justice, and solidarity.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Fort Hare Autumn School, where we challenged neoliberalism, promoted social justice, and advocated for a more inclusive society. As we move forward, I'm committed to being a socially responsible citizen and a catalyst for positive change.
