Honourable Speaker of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature (GPL): Ntombi Mekgwe, invites all media to a briefing aimed at officially launching the second Annual Vita Basadi Awards and opening up the nominations process to the public. The Vita Basadi Awards is an initiative of the GPL, launched as part of Women’s Month commemoration in August 2015.
The Awards are aimed at recognising excellence by the women of Gauteng in various areas of work and/or acts of service to fellow citizens without the means to help them. Targeting women in media, politics, arts, music, entrepreneurs, private companies, the youth, veterans and activists, the Awards are scheduled for 25th August 2016. Hon. Speaker Mekgwe will address members of the media on this year’s Vita Basadi Awards categories and highlight the significance of the initiative.
The media briefing will precede the GPL’s 2016 Children’s Sector Parliament, to be hosted under the theme ‘Following up on our commitments to the Children of Gauteng’. The purpose of the Children Sector Parliament is to empower children to participate in legislative processes and to encourage the born free generation to be part of influencing and shaping good governance in the post 21st years of South Africa in democracy.
Both the media briefing and the Sector Parliament will take place as follows:
Date: Tuesday, 28th June 2016
Time: 09h00 am
Venue: Protea South Multipurpose Centre, Cnr Ndaba & Stanton Rd, Protea South, Soweto
Members of the media are invited to both engagements and encouraged to RSVP.
