Local teacher needs vote to win at Young Leaders Awards
Ayanda Muziwandile Kubheka has earned a prestigious nomination in the 2025 Young Leaders Awards, under the Civil Society category.
This category celebrates young changemakers committed to tackling pressing social challenges, often through non-profit work, community-driven initiatives, or grassroots movements.
Kubheka's nomination recognises his dedication to creating positive change and uplifting communities through civil society engagement.
Kubheka, an educator at Harpo Primary School and the founder of Amasobonde Foundation – a non-profit career development and educational support organisation – now needs your vote to ensure he brings the sought-after award back to Vryheid.
He is heavily involved in assisting children to reach their highest potential through his foundation, Cross Pollination Academy which offers digital literacy programmes, life coaching, job shadowing, special classes, and application support.
He also mentors learners from primary grades to post-matric level. He has been also recognised as the Life Orientation Cluster's best teacher, a YALI Civic Leadership graduate, and a Teach the Nation alumnus. With every learner empowered and every family reached, Kubheka's firm belief is that education is the most powerful tool for change and he continues to be an example to the young ones by advocating for education.
The voting lines are currently open to the public and close on May 31, to cast your vote for Ayanda follow this link
