​Linda Leonie Oberholzer
​Patron of the Junior City Council Pretoria Since 1985|Principal of Spartan High Secondary school

I have a love and passion to work with children, and what better occupation to fulfil this, than teaching.

As patron and principal I strive to empower learners to be equipped to take on the many obstacles that may arise in life. I believe that the core ingredient of success is self-discipline. If you have self-discipline you will make the right choices, it will be easier to work hard when you have this quality and therefor success will follow. In 1985 I joined the JCC on the Advisory Committee and in 1990 I became the Patron of the JCC. As patron I ensure that the constitution is abided to and that the image of the council is upheld. I also advise the councillors on matters concerning their projects. 

The Junior City Council of Pretoria is a youth organization comprising of 37 schools within the Pretoria area and is also seen as an extension in the education of the youth. The main function of the Council is to serve the youth and broader community of the Pretoria area through various youth projects. Although we strive to make as much profit as possible for charity, the profit made from projects does not determine the success of the JCC. With the projects we empower the councillors with knowledge and skills, we bring the youth together and also bring awareness regarding many aspects of life. The council members are divided into committees. There is also an Advisory Committee, comprising of educators, who advice the council members when necessary.

I have had wonderful years on the Junior City Council, years that have enriched me, years filled with joy and love, years that have given me opportunities and memories I would otherwise not have experienced. I have met exceptional people.  My life surely was enriched, still is through this amazing platform to give our youth a platform to speak and to have a voice in Pretoria.
