ABOUT US
Stars of Tomorrow Youth Development NPC was established in March of 2019 by
young professionals from Ekurhuleni with the aim of developing fellow youth in
career development, self-mastery, employability and entrepreneurship. The
organisation ran a youth competition from the 1st of August to the 30th September
2019. Our aim was to contribute towards making young people economically active
by providing them with skills to succeed in society. We were targeting all young
people (ages between 16-35 years) in Gauteng, with plans to duplicate it in all 9
provinces in the year 2020. The competition was 3 folds; entrepreneurship, job
opportunities and access to education. The competition was about young people
sending through a 60 seconds video stating what they will do to become best
versions of themselves. The top 20 finalists attended a boot camp where they were
trained on life skills, HP LIFE eLearning and business skills, afterwards the finalists
then pitched infront of a panel of judges where the top 3 winners were selected.
The total prizes won amounted to an estimated R50 000.

The top 20 finalists attended a bootcamp from the 8th to the 10th October 2019 at
Petra Lodge in Edenvale and the pitches were on the 11th. The announcement of the
winners was on the very same day (11th October). As we are a Non-Profit Company
we are doing this purely for the greater good of our countries’ future. We would
like this competiton to be bi-annually and nationally covering all 9 provinces. We
urge sponsorship/ donation from private and public sector in a form of resources,
skills or money to ensure that we touch as many lives as possible. We are currently
funded by Silicon Valley Community Foundation from the United States of America.

We would like to extend our appreciation for the support and assistance in
advance. This is an opportunity to empower young people and create tomorrow’s 2

 TESTIMONIES
8 October 2019 was one of the best day of my life this is the day where it all started the
beginning of the boot camp ok I arrived at the guest house I meet the other candidates
and got to know some of them and the facilitators, the filming crew it was one of the
best moments when I was then asked to say what happened in order for me to be part
of this competition #BestVersionSA ok after some 10 video recording trying to then
sell myself in 30 seconds but then it did put me in the top 20 , I got to heal an spoke a
lot about my father how I grew up and my fears my hopes and my journey in general
this opened that closet that I always kept myself inside it I got to learn how to forgive
my father I got to learn how to move on with my life and not using him as an excuse not
to achieve my goals I got to set goals and understand my internal and external strength
and weaknesses this is where I learned how to do my affirmations how to listen
motivational talks I even met Sad Guru where we then listened to him and we under-
stand the whole stress system how does it come about I understand the law of attrac-
tion and I also understand that it's very important for me to look at the individuals that
I am attracting in my life if those individuals or whatever things that I'm doing they're
not building me I then need to move on and leave those things off I need to then
surround myself with individuals that will build me and bring the best out of myself I got
to learn that I need to love and appreciate others in this world without me being rude
and boasting having to be part of Top 20 best version 2019 it works really gave me an
opportunity to learn different personalities and different perspective of individuals it
gave me an opportunity to then look at life in a different way that I didn't know or notice
having to wake up next to someone that you've never seen in your life and you need to
do tasks with them and you need to then listen to them without you judging them having
to meet individuals who come from different backgrounds and they tell you their
stories you get to be motivated by their stories you get to want to do more using your
own story this is the best initiatives that I've ever seen in my life that has so much
impact and I think that it's going to contribute and lots in others as well (Phumzile
Mthembu).

 TESTIMONIES
This is the day that the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad on it. A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush, I will like to thank the opportunity that you gave me to write about the experience
I had at the camp. The experience that I had at the camp it was the best lessons that nobody had
gave me or had adviced me. Firstly, I will kindly like to thank you for the opportunity to make it to
the ‘’TOP 20’’ many sent the videos but they didn’t qualify, with God’s grace I made it to the Top
20. Secondly, The Youth generation that was there at the camp they really blessed me, they made
me believe in myself. Let I break the ice, Entering the competition I was trying my luck, I was doing
it for my little sister and my future in the next years to come. First day at the bootcamp, I saw
new faces , New minds, New versionery people, talented youth and etc. I was afraid to say
anything because I thought I was going to be judged only to find out that I already counted the
chickens before they laid, I was wrong. When our facilitator Edna Guss started to make us feel the
same, make us to think the is no one who is better than any, I started to open up and feeled
welcomed. The experience I had is that in life you need to make the right choices, meaning you
need to focus on the company that you keep, are they going the same path with you or they only
want to destroy you. And how to gain confidence in yourself: Gaining confidence it means we need
to start believing in ourselves that we can do this, Start telling yourself that you are not a failure,
Success it’s our league. In each and every day we need to thank the Lord our God who makes us
alive each and everyday, the are people who still wished to see the another day but unfortunately
they didn’t. So thanking him first before doing anything it’s a show of a wake up call. And the other
thing is every morning we need to say positive things, make confessions that will work for you
and for the business, or we should watch the motivational speakers to keep us positive. Again
about the steps to follow when you have a business or when you want to open your own business:
How to be a good young entrepreneur. The steps we should follow when you decide deign your
own logo or brand or the name of the company. The best I can say experience I had is when we
were pitching, it taught me that whether I’m one or we are many I can still do this, and I should
try to focus on the questions that judges asked me in order for me to have a successful business,
it even taught me that each and everything that I think of it can be a business idea, And I can make
it happen. And most of all things is that the we need to start talking to someone you trust about
what you face, there at the camp I have noticed that we all have problems and we need to come
with the solutions to solve them.

From the day I received an sms that says I am one of the top 20 finalists, you guys
made me feel like a winner, till today. Day1 in the boot camp was like day20, every-
one was very open to tell his/her personal story without fear or shame due to the
way the facilitators teaching and skills made us felt at home. I learned a lot about
myself and entrepreneurship which makes me feel like I can conquer the world
and become the best version of myself.

I wrote this letter to thank you, for the boot camp (best version of myself) that
was held at Petra Lodge on 8-11 October 2019. This was the best thing to have
happened to me in a long time. Being on the camp has helped me tremendously
because it has shaped the cause of my destiny and it has also helped me to align
myself in terms of my views in business and how I related to myself and other's
