Inter-Departmental Career Choice Expo Day 2026 in Mpumalanga - Part 1.

Sibongile Mofokeng returns to the studio from outside Gauteng, broadcasting live from the Daggakraal Thusong Centre (Ward 11, Spanplek) in the Gert Sibande District, Pixley ka Seme local municipality, for the Inter-Departmental Career Choice Expo Day commemorating Freedom Month and School Democracy Month. The show opens with MEC of Education in Mpumalanga, Lindi Masina, who explains why the team deliberately took this event deep into a rural community: to ensure equitable access to career guidance, educational opportunities, and civic engagement for youth who often miss out. They unpack the day's importance in inspiring learners to make informed career choices, the powerful partnerships with multiple stakeholders (government departments, schools, businesses, and NGOs), and the urgent call for young people to register to vote and exercise their democratic rights. MEC Masina also reveals their bold ambition to achieve a 91% national pass rate this year, emphasizing that quality education, career mentorship, and civic responsibility are the pillars to reaching that target. Tune in for this energizing, community-focused broadcast that champions youth empowerment, education excellence, and active democracy in rural Mpumalanga! Heart to Heart
