Young African Leaders Initiative

SAfm’s Khanyi Magubane has been accepted as a Young African Leader to attend the Washington Fellowship programme in the United States in June. She was selected as one of 500 young leaders from over 50,000 applicants from the whole of Africa.

This is a fantastic opportunity to further her education and is a feather in the cap of SAfm that once again demonstrates the excellent caliber of people employed at the station and at the SABC.

Khanyi presents SAfm’s Arts and Culture programme , The Friday Edition as well as the gospel music and discussion programme Living Sounds every Sunday.

The Washington Fellowship is the new flagship program of the President’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI). This program will bring over 500 young leaders to the United States each year, beginning in 2014, for leadership training, academic coursework, mentoring, and will create unique opportunities in Africa to put those new skills to practical use in propelling economic growth and prosperity and strengthening democratic institutions.
The Washington Fellowship program is an unparalleled opportunity to:

• Interact with President Obama at a Presidential Summit in Washington, D.C.;
• Participate in a 6-week intensive academic and leadership program at a U.S. institution;
• Meet with U.S. government, civic, and business leaders;
• Access exceptional internship and apprenticeship opportunities;
• Expand your business or project through access to millions of dollars for small grant funding; and
• Join a continent-wide and global alumni network to help you seek innovative solutions to common challenges.
