This conversation is long overdue. Where is the support for women’s rights when we need it. There are too few people that are willing to make known their opinion in the public forum. Nokwanda Dlamini, helps us dissect why some people are more willing to fight for what they believe than others. She offers practical ways that one can be an activist especially if you are not willing to go out on the streets. We also discuss why it is problematic when the majority are passive onlookers on important issues.
Nokwanda Dlamini, a Human Capital Consultant (eSwatini, Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa, 2003 – 2009) is a change maker who enjoys solving problems. She has worked in the Human Capital space for over 5 years and is passionate about de-stigmatising mental health in the workplace. Her experience includes consulting in People and Organisation matters as well as project management.
Nokwanda holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and International Studies from Earlham College in the USA, attained through the Shelby Davis Scholarship. Because of her passion for youth development and impact, Nokwanda has been part of the Young African Leadership Initiative and is an African Union Youth Volunteer. Her interests are gender, equity & inclusion and sustainable development.
Nokwanda is the current Curator of the Global Shapers Community: Mbabane Hub and firmly believes that we should always speak up about injustice, advocate for social change and find ways to give back. To this end, she is part of the Eswatini COVID-19 National Emergency Response Official Technical Working Group and currently serves on the Board of Directors for Kwakha Indvodza, Eswatini’s first male mentoring organisation which specialises in behaviour change interventions with men and boys.
