This past weekend, South Africa had the A-list celebrities performing for a good cause at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg which saw Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, D’Banj, Usher, Chris Martin, Stormzy, Cassper Nyovest, Ed Sheeran, Jay Z and his wife Beyonce and others perform to a completely sold out stadium.
Our very own Kenyan humanitarian Wawira who is the founder and Chairman of an organization called Food For Education that provides subsidized lunch to primary school children in public schools to keep them in school and improve their nutrition was awarded a Global Citizen prize by Cisco.
Wawira won the coveted Global Citizen Prize for Youth Leadership at the Global Citizen Festival and was handed the award by Usher and Cisco CEO, Chuck Robbins.
Wawira also got to hang out with Norway Prime Minister since 2013, Erna Solberg after she won the award. The Norwegian Prime Minister received the Global Citizen World Leader Prize.
