The artist, who will also be performing at the Bushfire Festival this coming weekend, will also be one of the programme panellists during the subsequent three-day The Breaking Down Borders Africa Youth Summit.
The annual conference, aimed at youth leaders from across the continent, is also a celebration of Africa month and is a lead up to Africa Day on May 25.
The summit hopes to encourage youth participation in governance, social change and the economy through topics that impart knowledge, engage thought and inspire action.
“As a platform the summit presents an opportunity for young people to connect, learn and create in concert around pertinent areas of leadership, development and how we can right the future of the kind of Africa we want to exist in,” says Paul Modjadji, the summit’s programme manager.
Organisers hope that under the theme of ‘Reclaim Africa’, young people will be called to action to work towards an Africa they desire to be a part of.
The Breaking Down Borders Africa Youth Summit will be hosted from May 22 – 24 2019 at the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre.

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Mr Eazi, is also being recognised for how he has crafted his own blue print when it comes to music. The afro beats musician is also being lauded for breaking down borders as he has collaborated with different artists on the continent.
