SU students selected for prestigious leadership programme
This programme, the South Africa-Washington International Program (SAWIP), is an initiative of the Washington-Ireland Program for Service and Leadership (WIP) and is aimed to inspire, develop and support a new generation of ethical South African servant leaders.
Busiswa Sobahle, Shane Sass, Danelle Jansen van Rensburg, Dewald Muller and Wawa Nkosi are part of a group of 20 students from South Africa to participate in the six week programme of professional exposure to various leaders and complete an intense leadership curriculum. They are due to depart on 12 June 2016.
SAWIP focuses on producing emerging leaders who will actively work towards bringing about social and economic transformation and justice within a sustainable democracy for all South African citizens. Its patrons are Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and world-renowned scenario planner Mr Clem Sunter.
In South Africa, 123 students have already graduated from the programme, which is officially endorsed by the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation and by the United States government.
