The fifth installment of our monthly forum, The Generation Y Keynote was held on 29th November.
This month’s speaker was Lindiwe Mazibuko, Parliamentary Leader of the Democratic Alliance, who says that she is “grateful to have the privilege of being able to live her passion.”

"To the youth of today, I also have a wish to make: Be the scriptwriters
of your destiny, and feature yourselves
as the stars that show the way
towards a brighter future."
- Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, founder of
the ANC Youth League who became South Africa's first
democratically-elected president.
"We want to give young people enough to get ahead. It's a new script
that they want to be part of. For many years, Y has been writing the
script, song by song, story by story, and there has been a shout out there
in the country and most of what we are getting is that people are saying,
we want a winning nation. Once we have told you what is going on in
your world, what is going on in your province, and what is going on in
your town, we believe that that young person is ready to go and take on
the world."
-Zukile Majova, Yfm Head of News and Current Affairs.
Do you know what it takes to build a winning nation? Do you have
ideas that can take our country to new heights? Have you been looking
for a platform to share your ideas among fellow young South Africans
who
are willing to listen to you in a forum that encourages open and
lively debate?
This youth month, we are proud to launch the
Generation Y Keynote, our new monthly dinner forum for leaders of
tomorrow to share their ideas today.
Every month, we will invite one dynamic person to spend 20 minutes telling us
their vision of how we build
a winning nation.
Thereafter, a panel led by Yfm News Editor, Zukile Majova, and Current Affairs
Anchor Faith Mangope, will open
the floor to discussion: What lessons can we take
from the keynote address? What are the ways in which the ideas can be built on?
What are the potential shortcomings?
