Yesterday marked a proud and inspiring moment as we officially swore in the very first Junior Town Council (JTC) of Stellenbosch Municipality! This initiative gives young leaders a seat at the table – empowering them to learn about the inner workings of local government, get involved in community outreach and represent the voices of their peers. We’re thrilled to announce the elected leadership of the Junior Town Council: 👩‍⚖️ Junior Mayor: Clayton Malgas – Franschhoek High School 👨‍💼 Junior Deputy Mayor: Melvine Martin – Stellenzicht Secondary School 🗣 Speaker: Peyton Arendse – Rhenish Girls’ High School 🤝 Portfolio: Community Interaction: Riane Louw – Stellenbosch High School 🏫 Portfolio: Schools Outreach: Kayleigh Cass – Groendal Secondary School We’re incredibly proud of these future leaders and look forward to the ideas, energy and passion they will bring to their school and community outreaches!
