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?

If you are unable to attend, the keynote and discussion will be recorded and broadcast on Yfm. Audio and video podcasts will
be made freely available through yworld.co.za, with opportunity for yworld readers to share their own views by comments.


Inspired ideas can change attitudes, change lives, and change the world. Join us as we take up the challenge of our
greatest leader to be the stars of a brighter future.

The Generation Y Keynote is a non-profit forum brought to you by Generation Y Proprietary Limited, part of the
Yired Group of Companies.
