SA’S 6TH PARLIAMENT: ‘I don’t feel pressure, I feel excited,’ says youngest MP in the National Assembly By Chanel Retief

Primary school classrooms are filled with colourful posters, maps of the world, and sometimes mathematic explanations. For Sibongiseni Ngcobo, one of these posters would spark a life-long desire which would lead him to a seat in South Africa’s sixth Parliament.My teacher had a poster hanging in the classroom. The poster was a picture of Cabinet ministers… I told my teacher that I want to be one of those people.

He can’t recall who was on the poster, but says it was what created in him an interest in how governments worked, an interest in political figures and a belief that history as a subject would shape his thinking. After matriculating in 2012 , Ngcobo enrolled at the University of KwaZulu-Natal where he majored in politics, law and philosophy. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2015.

And when Ngcobo first applied for Daso to be recognised as an organisation, he had to take it to the SRC as it was the only body that could approve the application. The SRC rejected the application, but that did not dissuade Ngcobo. He appealed to the university’s Recognition Appeals Committee which then led to Daso becoming a recognised organisation on campus.
