Nelson Mandela Sobukwe Leadership Camp 2023
Convened by the Department of HIGHER Education and Training (DHET) and HIGHER HEALTH, this event took place on the sidelines of the 2023 State of The Nation Address in Cape Town.
As a select group of peer educators from 50 TVET colleges, 26 universities and 9 CET Colleges, joined the Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Mr. Buti Manamela for 5-day intensive camp with a focus on leadership, history, the Constitution, entrepreneurship and innovation.
All this took place in the historical settings of Robben Island where many past leaders were held in incarceration.

The heart of HIGHER HEALTH’s approach to health mobilisation, education and service delivery beats in the First Things First programme.
First Things First activations take place on all university and TVET college campuses and usually run for three to five days, every two months. They are organised by the institution in conjunction with healthcare partners, including the district health service and local NGOs.
Strong partnerships with the National Department of Health and other local and international organisations have allowed us to make a real difference in the lives of students at Universities, TVET Colleges and various other sites.
Deputy Minister, Buti Manamela's Speech - Day 1 of Mandela Sobukwe Leadership Camp 2024 in Cape Town
Day 1 of the Mandela-Sobukwe Leadership Camp 2024 at Breakwater Lodge in Cape Town was nothing short of inspiring!
Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Mr Buti Manamela's keynote address resonated with every student present from Universities, TVET Colleges, and Community Colleges. The essence of this camp goes beyond just gathering; it's about fostering leadership development among the youth. We're here to equip ourselves to navigate and influence our nation's future in the face of numerous challenges – gender-based violence, mental health issues, safety concerns, health epidemics, skills shortages, and broader socio-economic challenges.
This Leadership Camp is bringing together 130 young leaders from all 26 public universities, 50 public TVET colleges, and 10 community colleges, all meticulously selected through the Higher Health's Peer Educator Program.
Our aim? To become young change agents, not just for South Africa, but for the entire African continent and the world at large.
Here, in this vibrant atmosphere, we have the opportunity to converge, discuss innovative ideas, and brainstorm new ways of tackling the challenges that the South African youth are confronted with. This camp isn't just about us; it's about empowering future generations to shape a brighter, more inclusive future. Let's seize this opportunity and make a difference together! 💪
