Club 29 member wins first round of elections

MBABANE- Active participation of youth in national development continues to be enhanced as a member of Club 29 National Executive Committee has won the first round of the elections.

Mthunzi Luhlanga won the Primary Elections at Ndvwabangeni Chiefdom under the Mhlangatane Constituency by 425 votes.
The 33 year old community development specialist, who has successfully implemented a number of youth development projects under his constituency, said he was elated by the decision of the electorate to vote for an aspiring politician who was still within the youth-age bracket.

He said the people of Ndvwabangeni would not regret their decision to elect a vibrant member of the youth to the next stage of the elections, since he had a number of sustainable and workable development projects in-store for the community.
“First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity and thank the people of Ndvwabangeni for having confidence in me, and I further promise to continue dedicating my time in improving the lives of my fellow countrymen.

“This promise will not be determined by whether I will make it into Parliament or not, I will continue to serve the people in every way that I can. To the youth and elderly who voted for me to contest in the Primary Elections; I would like to say, this is a sign that very soon, active participation of the youth in national development will soon be guaranteed,” Luhlanga said.

Club 29 National Chairman, Phumelele Motsa, also shared similar sentiments. He said the electorate had made a wise decision by voting for the youth.
“It is high time for the youth to actively participate in national projects that include elections. As a club that promotes active involvement of the youth in national projects, we highly appreciate the results of the Primary Elections at Ndvwabangeni Chiefdom, where Luhlanga emerged as the winner. I would also like to assure the people of Mhlangatane that they would have not made a bad decision by voting for the Club 29 national executive committee member,” Motsa said.  

                   
The main responsibility of the Club 29 elected committee members is to coordinate club activities and link the entire club membership with the Smart Partnership Hub.
These duties are expected by the executive committee in consultation with members of the steering committee. His Majesty King Mswati III is patron of both the local and international Club 29.

Club 29 is a consultative forum focusing on the empowerment of the smart movement’s membership in all aspects of development through the Smart Partnership philosophy.

The purpose of the club is to bring members together to share ideas, experiences and resources in a strategic manner.
The club serves to advocate, support, capacitate and enhance members’ ability to execute their mandate successfully, through a prosper-thy-neighbour approach that seeks to produce win-win outcomes for all.

Previously, Club 29 Swaziland only focused on improving and empowering the youth towards business independency. However, the club now seeks to develop the youth in all sectors of the society.
