Kimberley - Dynamic youngsters in the Northern Cape stand a chance to meet US President Barack Obama if they are selected as one of next year’s 500 Mandela Washington Fellows.
The fellowship gives 500 young Africans between the age of 25 and 35 a chance to participate in a six-week leadership and mentoring program in the US. During this time they will meet government, civic and business leaders, including Obama.
The US Consulate is hosting an information session about the 2015 MWF at Galeshewe Library, Kimberley, at 17:30 today.
Recent fellow Ofentse Mokae, from Galeshewe, will also be on hand to share his experience with potential candidates.
