Germiston\u2019s young leaders were acknowledged and motivated at the Germiston Rotary Club\u2019s annual Prefects Evening held at the Germiston Golf Club, last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Head girls and head boys together with their deputies and teachers from various high schools in Germiston were invited to the prestigious evening.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cEvery year we celebrate the leadership at the schools,\u201d said Germiston Rotary Club\u2019s head of youth, Hugo du Rand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe discuss leadership topics and they also get to network together.\u201d<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The learners were treated to dinner and a motivational talk by Sifiso Mlilo from KPMG.<\/p>\n

When addressing those present Mlilo touched on the different characteristics leaders should possess.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a leader, you should have physical characteristics (stamina and good health) and personality characteristics (confidence and honesty),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou also have to have the desire to lead, because you may possess leadership qualities, but if you don\u2019t want to lead then it will come across and you won\u2019t be effective.\u201d<\/p>\n
