During his term, Thuto led young people of the Kalahari Conference with great diligence and represented the Conference on the 15th Episcopal level, encompassing South Africa, Namibia, and Angola and on the Connectional level.

Beyond the walls of the AME Church, his leadership drive and determination got him elected as the president of the Student Representative Council at one of the internationally-recognised academic institutions, the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS).

Asking Thuto about the role of SRC in academic intuitions, he responded, “The SRC in South Africa is founded on an act of Parliament, the Higher Education Act.

One of the recent highlights of Thuto’s role was on 20 February 2020, when he was a part of a panel discussion “Looking East or West: The 4th Industrial Revolution in South Africa,” held at WITS University.

The AME Church, in particular, the Kalahari Conference and the 15th Episcopal District, is proud of this leader and we pray for him as he continues to make an impact in society and minister beyond the walls of the AME Church.
