To celebrate both South Africa’s Women’s Month and International Youth Day, Good Governance Africa had the absolute joy of hosting our latest Girl Child Workshop—this time, taking flight into the world of aviation! ✈️✨
The day kicked off with a heartfelt welcome from Eagle Wings Consultancy’s Candy Shinondo Kasonkomona, who set the stage for our first inspiring speaker, Tebello Mokhema from Airports Company South Africa. Next, FCM Travel South Africa’s Mummy Mafojane took us behind the scenes of the runway, giving the girls an insider’s look at what daily aviation operations are truly all about.
Our young dreamers then had the incredible privilege of hearing from two extraordinary female pilots—Anathi Sithole, flight instructor at Girls fly Africa, and Kaela Seoe-Okafor, Director at Paramount Aviation Academy—who shared their powerful journeys, wisdom, and passion before diving into a palpable, high-energy interactive Q&A where bright minds asked brilliant questions, eager to learn how they, too, can claim their space in the skies.
We extend our sincere thanks to all of our incredible speakers and partners—including Flight Centre, Eagle Wings Consulting Ltd, and Girls Fly Africa—for making this workshop such a resounding success. Despite the chilly weather, the warmth in the room was undeniable, and a deeply heartfelt thank you goes to Emmarentia Claassens, Naomi Govender, Gail Nel, and the brilliant, enthusiastic students and dedicated teachers from Ibhongo High School - Strive For Excellence and Pace Commerce and Entrepreneurship School of Specialisation who made this day unforgettable.
To all our future leaders and aviators: keep reaching for the stars and soar high! ✨
