Background

About Clive Maluleke

I am passionate about youth development and young people having access to resources and information that will uplift their lives," says Clive Maluleka. An experienced strategic communications, CSI and stakeholder specialist with a proven track record in the non-profit organisation (NPO) sector, Clive believes poverty eradication starts with education and knowledge. Clive has held various positions within NPOs, including the globally renowned Nelson Mandela Foundation. He honed his skills—confirming his passion for empowering young people and equipping them with resources to alleviate poverty. We need to understand the duality in strategic interventions targeting young people and poverty. Poverty impacts most profound young people, yet we can start eradicating poverty in our communities through them. These are big words from one still a youth himself, but very considered words from the heart."I have never let my age or youth discourage me from achieving my goals! I understand what moves and motivates young people. My view of society and the world is also from the viewpoint of young people." Clive embarked on his professional career in corporate communications, learning and developing various skills, including time management, managing, and executing complex projects within media, CSI, and stakeholder management. With clear deliverables and benchmarks set up before the commencement of each project, Clive continuously delivered exceptional results earning him a track record of success!"I consider each role an honour and privilege; hence, I set personal goals focused on positive impact and scale," says Clive."My experience has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge, specialised skills, and an excellent understanding of dealing with stakeholders. Time management and organisational skills are vital when balancing multiple projects and demands. Working in a corporate communications environment allowed me to understand the importance of your audience - namely, stakeholders. Working with stakeholders piqued my interest and goal to improve my communications and leadership skills. The latter opened my eyes to stakeholder management, and I have never looked back.
