Brand South Africa|Play Your Part Bursary to attend 2026 One Young World Summit in Cape Town

Central to this mission is Play Your Part — a nationwide initiative created to inspire, empower, and celebrate active citizenship in South Africa. Play Your Part encourages all South Africans — from individuals and corporates to NGOs, government, schools, and faith communities — to contribute their time, money, skills, or goods toward a better future for all. It aims to lift the spirit of the nation by showing that when people care deeply for one another and their environment, everyone benefits.

Brand South Africa is proud to partner with One Young World to launch the Brand South Africa: Play Your Part Bursary 2026, which will enable six outstanding young South Africans to participate in the One Young World Summit in Cape Town from 3–6 November 2026.

This programme is for young active citizens who are already contributing to positive change in South Africa, and who embody the spirit of Play Your Part in their communities and beyond. Of the six available bursaries, three are reserved for candidates based in Cape Town and three are open to applicants across South Africa.
