Conradie appointed as junior mayor of Keetmanshoop

In a proud and promising moment for Suiderlig Secondary School and the wider community, Dezy Conradie has been appointed as the new Junior Mayor of Keetmanshoop.Known for her bold leadership and passion for youth empowerment, Conradie also serves as a representative in the Youth Parliament, where she actively advocates for marginalised communities.Reflecting on what motivated her to run for the position, she said: “If I want to represent young people and truly make a change in my community, I needed a platform that gives me access to both the youth and decision-makers.”Conradie’s goals are clear: she aims to promote career guidance, empower the boy child, and establish a strong foundation for future junior councils. She also plans to raise awareness of the junior council as an active body that represents the voice of the youth.Balancing her responsibilities in both the junior council and the Youth Parliament hasn’t been easy. “Yoh, it’s honestly very hard,” she admitted, but added that her sense of purpose and faith help keep her grounded.She expressed her desire to help improve her school by introducing more academic and developmental activities, such as spelling bees, debates, educational field trips, and stronger sports programmes.Conradie also had a message for her fellow learners: “Your dreams are valid and your voices matter. I want every student to know that they’re not alone – someone is speaking up for you.”
