�Change makers� to become annual event

The initiative, launched end of last year, is meant to celebrate unsung young people who have made remarkable achievements in various fields, noting that the golden jubilee celebrations would be incomplete without recognising their input.  Project manager, Kenneth Moeng told the press yesterday that these are individuals who have led from the front despite human challenges that plague the national, continental and international social stage.

“These people have made a significant change in society, business, politics, sport and culture and in the lives of people or in contributing to Botswana at 50 in different sectors,” he said.  After overwhelming nominations from the public, as the young change makers are recommended by the public; and a subsequent adjudication process, the nominees have come down to 71 candidates.
