THE Inside Education Foundation, in conjunction with stakeholders hosted the annual 100 SA Shining Stars Awards ceremony at the Gautrain Hotel in Sandton on Wednesday in recognition and celebration of South African youth committed to service in various fields of interest.

Drawn from inspiring and inspirational youth from around the country, the award sought to recognise the pivotal role these finalists play in their respective fields and in their communities.

Now in its 5th year, the Shining Stars initiative celebrated young ambassadors from all corners of the country to demonstrate that talent, energy, drive, passion and ambition among the country’s youth was alive despite the country’s bad socio-economic conditions and the despondency caused by high youth unemployment and many other challenges.
