Testimonials

Vee

Vhogalahawe Mulaudzi (17), Junior Deputy Mayor – Mogale City

Vee Mulaudzi is a my.voice alumni and rising young leader dedicated to promoting youth empowerment and participation in her municipality. From her early days as a participant of our programmes to her current role as Junior Deputy Mayor of Mogale City, she has proven that young people can drive real change. Her leadership journey has led her from joining the my.voice program as a shy and introverted participant in 2023, to leading the development of her own initiative through the my.initiative program and finally finding her voice as a young leader in the role of deputy president of the Alumni Network Kagiso Hub in 2024.

Through her my.voice journey, Vhogalahawe developed the confidence, skills, and experience to step up and lead in her community. Now in matric at Ahmed Timol Secondary School, she continues to champion youth participation and inspire her peers to take action. Her journey is a testament to the power of young voices in shaping a more just and inclusive future.
