Majeke hails from East London and previously held positions within the DA’s structures of Buffalo City Metro before being elected to head up the DA Youth in the Province.  Her passion for politics influenced her decision to study towards a Bachelor’s degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics through UNISA.

Being raised by a single mother instilled in her the qualities of both working hard and giving back to the community. She was schooled in leadership through an initiative called RISE UP where future business leaders are groomed in all aspects of business and politics.

Majeke said in her opening statement at the Provincial Council: “The youth are the cornerstone of our nation.  In order for the DA to see accelerated growth in the Eastern Cape, the youth vote needs to be driven as we head towards the 2016 municipal elections.

“A fundamental tool for empowering our youth is education.  This does not only mean formal education, but also skills development.

“We plan to establish DA Youth Branches at grass roots level, in constituencies where there aren’t any. The Youth voice needs to be heard.”

Majeke is committed to working tirelessly as the newly elected DA Youth Chairperson for the Eastern Cape. She has the ability to make a difference, have the voices of the youth heard and address their problems. Her passion lies in empowering the young voters of the Eastern Cape.
