Internationally acclaimed South African NPO, Symphonia for South Africa (SSA), will be hosting the first of its Citizen Leadership Conversations on Tuesday, 25 January. The virtual session will feature South African thought leaders and Thinkers50 winners, Dr Louise van Rhyn and Dr Reuel Khoza, in discussion on the importance of leadership in creating a just and prosperous South Africa.
‘’As we kick off a crucial year for South Africa economically and socially, we are excited to bring together two exceptional South Africans whose thought leadership, innovation and commitment to social change have had an immense impact on their respective organisations, communities and South Africa as a whole. Their interaction will hopefully encourage meaningful discourse among those who care about our country’s well-being and progression, and create spaces where everyone can contribute to #TheFutureWeWant to see for South Africa,’’ says SSA Marketing and Communications Manager, Dorcas Dube.
