Exclusive Opportunity: Luncheon with H.E. Ambassador Madiepetsane Charlotte Lobe
Calling All Young Aspiring Diplomats!
Are you a young woman aged 16–21 with a passion for diplomacy, international relations, and women’s empowerment? Do you dream of one day representing South Africa on the global stage?
Here’s your chance to learn from one of the nation’s most distinguished diplomats and advocates for women’s rights — Her Excellency Ambassador Madiepetsane Charlotte Lobe, South Africa’s High Commissioner to Singapore.
We are proud to announce an exclusive opportunity for five (5) exceptional young women from South Africa to attend a private luncheon and mentorship session with Ambassador Lobe during her visit to South Africa this December.
A UNIQUE CHANCE TO LEARN FROM THE BEST
Ambassador Lobe will host an intimate and inspiring session on Leadership in Diplomacy — sharing valuable insights on preparing for a successful international career. As an accomplished author and advocate for gender equality, she will draw from her own life experiences and her published works to inspire and empower Africa’s next generation of female leaders.
“Leadership is not a position — it’s a purpose. It is how we serve, how we uplift, and how we inspire those who come after us.”
— H.E. Ambassador Charlotte Lobe
COMBATING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE IN EDUCATION
In alignment with Southgerian Lifestyle Magazine’s advocacy for the girl child, the luncheon will include a thought-provoking discussion on Combating Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Educational Institutions.
Ambassador Lobe will share her expertise on the importance of creating safe learning environments and empowering young women to become agents of change. Participants will also have the opportunity to share their own insights, ideas, and local experiences, contributing to a meaningful dialogue on the future of women’s safety and empowerment in Africa.
SPECIAL TAKEAWAY
Each of the five selected participants will receive:
- An Exclusive Signed Copy of Southgerian Lifestyle Magazine – African Renaissance Edition, featuring Ambassador Lobe on the cover.
