South Africa: National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) Remains Proud of 'Cnn Hero Nominee' Thulani Madondo

press release

The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) remains proud of Thulani Madondo's sterling contribution, the only African to be nominated as one of CNN's Hero of the Year candidates where ten "everyday heroes" around the world were nominated to win an overall award by CNN's global audience. On 3 December 2012, CNN announced the overall winner of the award and Thulani missed out on the global prize, however, his notable recognition by CNN will go a long way in inspiring the youth of South Africa and the African continent to be limitless.

Through the Kliptown Youth Programme (KYP) which he co-founded, Thulani has been contributing towards providing educational support and extramural activities to eradicate poverty and to combat the disadvantages encountered by the youth of Kliptown. His efforts continue to aid young people in his township whilst inspiring many across South Africa and the African continent.
