Levels! Botlhale Boikanyo Selected As A 2024 Mandela Washington Fellow
Botlhale Boikanyo Selected As A 2024 Mandela Washington Fellow. She has been moving mountains from a very young age. Botlhale Boikanyo came into the spotlight after winning SA’s Got Talent back in 2012.
At the tender age of thirteen the poet and actress performed her poems at the Legacy of Hope Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital campaign inauguration in New York. Her request and performance was linked with International Mandela Day. As an honorary committee member, Botlhale joined personalities like Maya Angelou, Whoopi Goldberg, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Charlize Theron. Her message led her to the recording of Africa my Pride, which was turned into music by Malambule from Native Rhythms Productions.
Moving all the way to the top, she has just made a major announcement. Botlhale has been selected as a 2024 Mandela Washington Fellow. Established in 2014, the Fellowship is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2024. It has brought nearly 6,500 young leaders from every country in Sub-Saharan to the United States for academic and leadership training.
“I am so honored to finally share that I have been selected as a 2024 Mandela Washington Fellow🇿🇦🇺🇸
The Mandela Washington Fellowship is a flagship program of the U.S. Government’s Young African Leaders Initiative that brings together accomplished African leaders creating a positive impact in their communities to further develop their knowledge & skills while offering a platform to foster connections and cross-cultural exchanges.
I have been placed under the Civic Engagement Track at Michigan State University and I truly look forward to learning and gaining skills to better serve my community. Furthermore at the prospects of engaging with other African leaders,” she said in excitement.
