Akhona Zondo

LHC and Welfare Officer

Originally from KwaZulu-Natal and still navigating humble beginnings, I understand that the opportunity to pursue an education is something to be valued and protected. As a second-year BSc Nautical Science student and former Head Girl, I have learned that leadership means more than being seen; it means standing up for others, especially when their voices are overlooked.In high school, I introduced and led a Student Wellness Club because I believe mental health deserves to be taken seriously, not dismissed or hidden. That commitment continues to shape the leader I am. Hardworking, compassionate, and determined to make a difference. My passion for the ocean has also given me a unique perspective on opportunity, resilience, and the importance of opening doors for others. As LHC and Welfare Officer, I want every student to know that their struggles matter, their voices deserve to be heard, and their well-being is worth fighting for.
