The initiatives I would like to bring attention to:

SMART Skills Centres in rural communities to bridge the digital skills divide, STEAM programmes for young women, second chance programmes for retrenched workers, grants for start-ups and SMMEs, research initiatives into the hydrogen economy.

What does Transformational leadership mean to you?

High-impact leadership. It’s about driving change for high impact. Getting things done. Transformational leaders talk less and act more. It’s about inspiring change to actually make a difference. Transformational leaders are change catalysts who do differently, make meaning, and drive impact.
