Kgotso Hope Lekau speaks outdoors with Table Mountain in the background.
Hello, delegate. My name is Kgotso Hope Lekau once again, the founder of the New Generation International Foundation. If you are here, that means you're about to apply for the New Generation Leaders Assembly.
Now, I know applications can be very frustrating, but guess what? This is not none of them. This is not a job interview. This is us just wanting to get to know a bit about you. Why do you want to come? Why do you have these dreams?
Tell us more and then add a video of yourself, like myself, just sharing who you are, your dreams and aspirations. Like I said, it is not a job interview.
So relax, take your time. A few questions and then add that video, and we will see you in the beautiful city of Cape Town in November 2026. God bless you.
Music plays over the end card, which reads “New Generation Leaders Assembly 2026”.
