The conference&#8217;s theme, initiated by Stacey, focused on empowering women in STEM fields.<\/p>\n<p>Radio Islam International delves into Fru&#8217;s experiences in a conversation with the founder of Stacey Fru Foundation and multi-award-winning author and child activist Stacey Fru.<\/p>\n<p>Fru described her feelings as surprised as she did not anticipate receiving this award. However, the end commemorated Fru&#8217;s mandate, leaving her feeling proud to have served the city as a junior MMC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The feeling I got when they called up my name to receive this award was one of surprise. Yet again, as I reflect on my journey as a junior MMC, I see the work I had put in alongside my fellow junior councillors,&#8221; says Fru.<\/p>\n<p>The development of communities has always been important to Fru, and at 16, she founded and headed an organisation. Fru&#8217;s many achievements include being an accomplished author with six books.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the full interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/upload#:~:text=https%3A\/\/soundcloud.com\/radioislam\/stacey%2Dfru%2Dhonoured%2Dfor%2Dexcellence%2Das%2Djunior%2Dmmc%2Dfor%2Dcommunity%2Ddevelopment%2Din%2Djoburg%3Fsi%3D144f588afca74ae8a1094780292fae74%26utm_source%3Dclipboard%26utm_medium%3Dtext%26utm_campaign%3Dsocial_sharing\">The Daily Round-Up<\/a> with Muallimah Annisa Essack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neelam Rahim | neelam@radioislam.co.za 2-minute read 29 December 2023 | 15:32 CAT Renowned for her literacy achievements, Stacey was recently recognised with an excellence award for her outstanding service as a Junior MMC for community development in the City of Johannesburg Student Council 2022 and 2023.
