Bongani Ndubata

Bongani is responsible for working with the administration task team to ensure that IkamvaYouth's learners comply with their agreements with the organisation. Attendance, settling debts to the application fee and registration loan fund, collecting reports and keeping tabs on the organisation's assets are all part of Bongani's portfolio.

Bongani joined IkamvaYouth in 2004 because he wanted to improve his academic results. After completing his matric in 2005, he joined as a volunteer because he wants to contribute to helping the organisation reach its goals in the community. He has taken a gap year to volunteer because he enjoys to be part of and witness developments in his community. Bongani has played integral roles in coordinating the June holiday programme and establishing the Media, Image and Expression programme. He is an MC extraordinaire (as proven at the launch of the tuXlab), and also represented IkamvaYouth and South Africa at the Lucca Leadership foundation course in Italy in 2005.

Bongani says that he is gaining valuable experience by volunteering for IkamvaYouth and “being exposed to many things (eg. involved in management committee and making collective decisions with the organisation) and learning about media has made a possitive impact on (his) life.” Bongani enjoys listening to music and making films (movies and documenting special events). He plans to become a teacher, get involved in politics, and one day become the President of South Africa.
