The Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans list celebrates South African visionaries among South Africa's youth — South Africa's key to reaching greatness. For almost two decades, the Mail and Guardian (M&G) have recognised the impact the South African youth make every day with this initiative.

2023's installation of M&G's 200 Young South Africans boasted over 15 inclusive categories that aim to recognise and reward youth who have created resilient, entrepreneurial and robust solutions.

These categories include, but are not limited to:
  • arts and entertainment
  • civil society
  • health
  • technology
  • innovation, and
  • sport.

These young people are actively shaping South Africa and play a pivotal role in building its future, according to M&G.

5FM management has congratulated Potelwa on the achievement and has wished her continued success in all her endeavours.
