Greetings to all the members of the of the mailing list and to you Arsène,

Thank you for the welcome message, and it feels great to be part of an
African group which is passionate and involved in Internet Governance in
different respects.

My name is Yolanda Mlonzi, based in Pretoria, South Africa. I am currently
finishing off my Honours degree in Media Studies at the University of the
Witwatersrand (two more weeks left and I will be officially done 😊)

My interest in Internet Governance started last year as a Google Policy
Fellow, where I was hosted at the Association for Progressive
Communications (APC), since then I have never looked back! My interest
within IG lie in human rights/internet rights especially the intersections
between of the right to privacy, surveillance, freedom of expression and
political freedom. As a result, I am currently finishing off a research
paper focusing on exactly that, with my case study being South Africa.

Other areas within IG that I am interested in, is youth participation,
gender and IoT.

I really look forward to hearing from you all, and possibly meeting some of
you at the upcoming global IGF in Mexico.

Warm regards,
Yolanda.
