Yesterday 11 March the #LiveVIPZA Campaign was officially launched on a rainy Tuesday at the JoziHub offices in Milpark, Johannesburg. Social Media was a big part of the launch as Live Magazine SA partnered with Google Africa in order to have Google Hangouts with participants in Cape Town and Ginsberg and stream the entire event live on the Live Mag SA YouTube channel. The Twitter gods were with us as the dedicated hash tag #LiveVIPZA trended in South Africa for 13 hours!

SA political parties need to wake up to the digital revolution. No one is using digital tools as effectively as they could. #LiveVIPZA

Our current leaders don’t understand the ‘born free’ generation because they are still stuck in the past! @LiveMagSA #LiveVIPZA

voting has just managed to separate us. Unity is the way we solve things better, our lives are not up to be ‘won’ #LiveVIPza @LivemagSA

Voting is not just placing a tick in a box, its about education, empowerment and responsibility #LiveVIPZA

Have thoroughly enjoyed #LiveVIPZA. Great initiative. I’m really hopeful that some social initiatives come out of it.

Heart palpitations as I bite my tongue. So hard to just listen. But sometimes, VERY necessary. Sober conversations here at #LiveVIPZA

Why are there no political party reps present at youth debates like this to find out what the youth are concerned about? #LiveVIPZA
