Zamangwe Lebogang Mazibuko

Zamangwe from South Africa joined Special Olympics in 2021, inspired by its message of inclusion and dignity for all. Since then, she has taken part in leadership training, volunteered at regional events, and supported youth-led initiatives that promote equity and empowerment through sport. Outside of Special Olympics, Zamangwe is actively involved in Scouts South Africa, where she holds youth leadership roles and contributes to local community development projects. These experiences have strengthened her commitment to creating positive change and inclusive spaces. As a member of the Global Youth Leadership Council (GYLC), she hopes to help strengthen youth voices across Africa and create more inclusive spaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to lead. She believes that when young people are given the opportunity to contribute, they can shape a brighter and more unified future for all.
