Watch this space says Nkwana

As the clock ticks towards next year’s elections for new ANC Youth League leaders in the Vhembe Region, men such as Dominic Nkwana stand tall among candidates racing for chairperson positions.

Limpopo Mirror spoke to Nkwana to find out just what makes him fit for the chair, and he tells us how, at the age of 27, he has already had several achievements.

“I travelled to Kenya to represent the rights of children when I was only 15 years old. At 16 and 17 respectively, I went to London twice for the same cause. That was where I polished my leadership skills, during the Children’s Global Panel,” he said.

Before rising to the current position of deputy secretary for the ANC branch in Makushu, Nkwana was chairperson of the ANC Youth League’s sub-region in Musina.

When asked what he would offer, should he be the winning candidate, Nkwana replied, “I will rather die for truth than to watch helplessly as corrupt comrades continue to steal from the coffers of the poor. We don’t want another VBS quandary to repeat itself during our lifetime. This time, with the wise guidance of our political mentors, like President Cyril Ramaphosa and comrade Dowelani Nenguda, we are facing the VBS brigade head-on.” He feels ANC Youth League positions should be filled by youths. “They are robust and have the energy,” he said.

Besides his political life, Nkwana is the personal assistant for Musina’s mayor. He is also passionate about the empowerment of young people, especially regarding education and entrepreneurship.

Nkwana said he would love to see more local people become involved in the activities of the Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone.
