“Hello to our SayPro family, valued partners, and the incredible youth of South Africa,
Today, we come together to celebrate Freedom Day 2025 — a day of immense significance, when South Africa chose a new path, one of equality, justice, and opportunity for all.
31 years later, we must ask:
How do we continue to build on that freedom? How do we make it work for the generations to come?
The answer lies in partnership.
As the Chief Strategic Partnership Officer of SayPro, my job is to ensure we forge strong alliances with those who share our vision — with organizations, businesses, government, and community leaders who are ready to invest in the future of our youth.
Because no single organization can do it alone.
Freedom is not a solitary achievement — it is a collective one.
At SayPro, we understand that partnerships are the foundation of progress. Whether it’s through collaborative projects, joint initiatives, or co-investment in youth development, we are committed to working with others to ensure that:
- Access to opportunity becomes universal,
- Skills development is relevant and up-to-date,
- Youth entrepreneurship is supported and nurtured,
- And employment pathways are accessible to all.
We can only unlock the potential of South Africa’s youth if we work together, and align our resources, expertise, and networks to build solutions that matter.
Today, on Freedom Day, I want to remind us of two critical things:
- Freedom thrives on collaboration.
The work we do is not isolated. It’s a web of people, organizations, and communities all working toward a shared goal. Each partnership we form, each new ally we bring in, strengthens the possibilities for the young people we serve. - We are not just partners in development — we are partners in freedom.
Because when we collaborate, we unlock more than just skills or resources. We unlock opportunity, dignity, and hope.
To the youth of South Africa:
Your freedom is not only a birthright — it is something we continue to fight for, every day, through partnerships that pave the way to a better future.
And to our partners:
Thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for walking beside us, and investing in youth empowerment. Together, we are creating a nation where freedom is a collective victory.
Happy Freedom Day.
Let’s continue to partner for progress, build together, and ensure that freedom is a reality for every South African youth.
Thank you.”
