Katlego is a Grade 10 learner from Ga-Mashashane in Limpopo. She has been an activist with @equal_education since she was in Grade 8 and elected to EE’s National Council in 2022. She presented in Parliament today to highlight issues in her school in GaMashashane. I’m proud!
There’s a grade 10 student (Katlego) presenting in the public hearing being held by the Standing Committee on Appropriations today. I want more of this. More people participating in public hearings! Twitter activists sukumani sinibone 🫵🏾
