GAUTENG.-  Parage said: “I love public speaking. It creates great communicators and leaders who are empowered to inform, persuade and move people to action. Exactly the kind of youth we want in our country. I was a public speaker and debater in high school. It felt like a full circle moment to now sit in the judging panel and give a brief talk about why public speaking is an important skill.”
