2022
For nearly two decades, the Mail & Guardian has featured 200 Young South Africans on their journey to positively impact the world through future-focused innovation and passion, leaving an indelible mark for the generations to come.
How does the youth of South Africa envision their future? The country’s young people have a responsibility to build the future they want to live in. How can a future-focused mindset set a new agenda for the youth to change the current state of national development?
The M&G’s flagship feature of eminent young South Africans has become a hallmark on our annual calendar. It is a prestigious initiative that serves to recognise our generation’s future leaders.

This year, more than ever, young people are actively engaging with their present to ensure that the futures they envision are realised. They are using a vast array of tools including technology, artificial intelligence and traditional forms of communication to create inclusive, sustainable spaces that will change our future for the better.
In their quest for an inclusive, equitable and sustainable future they are breaking barriers, creating jobs and innovating. They are creating spaces where the youth — like themselves — can garner critical skills to fully engage in the future.
In this year’s instalment, we are looking for innovators and creators of viable and non-conventional solutions through convergence with technology, who are helping to create an equitable future where every person has access to resources and opportunities that provide professional and economic parity, enabling them to live a prosperous and fulfilling life.
We are proud to introduce you to the 17th edition of South Africa’s premier list of eminent young achievers!
