Dear Sihle Lonzi,

Thank you for your bold and principled stance regarding the issue with the DTI, particularly in response to the Minister’s suggestion to blacklist students who owe institutions of higher learning.

Your leadership in standing up for young people, many of whom are already burdened by systemic challenges, is truly commendable. It’s encouraging to see a youth leader who understands the struggles of students and advocates for solutions that are just and empowering.

We need more voices like yours in positions of influence. Thank you for representing us with integrity.
