Introducing Lebogang Mokoena,AvH German Chancellor Fellow "I applied for the German Chancellor Fellowship with an interest of maintaining what I call my “South African-German relations”. I first visited Germany in 2016 for a year on an exchange voluntary service. Since then, I have engaged in journalistic and youth related projects – alongside learning the culture and language. The German Chancellor fellowship has provided me a continuity to explore and further develop and strengthen these ties. But this time, with a focus on advancing my research work and abilities."
