BOLT celebrated Nelson Mandela Day with a unique initiative aimed at empowering the youth.
The company hosted a one-day youth career empowerment expo, "Drive the Future: 67 Minutes for Madiba," at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg.
Sixty-seven high school learners from Soweto participated in inspiring panel talks, interactive activities, and career demos, gaining valuable insights into potential career paths and industries.
The event was an impactful celebration of Mandela's values and ideals, providing attendees with opportunities to engage with leading creatives, tech leaders, and BOLT professionals.
The expo offered a platform for the youth to learn, network, and explore their future prospects, aligning with Mandela's legacy of promoting education and social change.
The event was opened by Lerato Motsoeneng, Senior General Manager of Bolt South Africa, who delivered a powerful welcoming address.
He spoke about his own challenging varsity years, shaped by financial hardship and perseverance.
Motsoeneng shared how those early experiences gave him a deep sense of purpose that continues to guide his leadership today.
In a gesture of commitment to the youth, he even offered to mentor 5 of the students in attendance, further underscoring BOLT's dedication to empowering the next generation.
