Sometimes all it takes is saying "yes" to one opportunity. For Thapelo Mbatha, that opportunity came when she put herself forward to represent KwaZulu-Natal at the Nelson Mandela Children's Parliament. Although she describes herself as shy at the time, she stepped outside her comfort zone and was selected as the province's Child Ambassador in 2015. That journey also led to her becoming the Junior Mayor of the Ulundi Local Municipality.
Today, at 25, Thapelo is building a career at Deloitte while working towards becoming a Chartered Accountant.
She credits the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund with helping shape her confidence, leadership, and outlook on life. Her story is proof that when young people are given a platform to lead, they discover what they're truly capable of.

This July, she will travel to India to join young leaders from around the world as part of The Leadership Collective 2026. We are incredibly proud of Sibongile and all that she continues to a#YouthMonthY#nmcf30yearsM#servelikemadibaLikeMadiba
Congrats and best wishes!
Building impact takes more than good intentions. It takes strong partnerships, sustainable funding, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
This week, trustees, leadership, and executive management from the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital came together for a Resource Mobilisation Masterclass focused on strengthening fundraising efforts, exploring new resource mobilisation opportunities, and building the partnerships needed to sustain and grow our impact.
As we mark 30 years of the Fund, we remain focused on ensuring that both the Fund and the Hospital are well-positioned to continue serving children for generations to come.

This Youth Month, we're celebrating young people who are turning learning into leadership.
After participating in the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund Legacy Academy in 2023, delivered in partnership with the IEC, Thandolwenkosi Nkosi gained valuable insights into the importance of voting, active citizenship, and the role young people play in shaping South Africa's future.
But she didn't stop there. Inspired by what she learned, Thandolwenkosi started her own initiative to educate high school learners aged 16 to 18 about voting processes and the importance of participating in democracy. Her story is a reminder that when young people are given knowledge, skills, and opportunities, they don't just benefit themselves. They create change for others.
As we celebrate Youth Month and 30 years of the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, we are proud to support young leaders who are carrying Madiba's legacy forward and helping th#YouthMonthr#nmcf30yearst#servelikemadibaMonth #NMCF30Years #ServeLikeMadiba
