    Ludre Stevens

    DA Abroad Operations Chairperson and UK Committee Member

    London, United Kingdom

    I am honoured to have been the first UK Chairperson and former Leader of the DA Abroad. I was also the campaign manager for the DA Abroad campaign against the Nuclear power procurement deal and previously worked on the No To Secrecy and Vote Home campaigns.

    I am a founding Trustee of the Ubunye-Unity Trust, a UK based charity in support of South African community development projects; on the United National Westminster Committee and run a Tech start-up called YuDoGlobal. I believe that the DA Abroad is vitally important as international pressure is the key to helping South Africa succeed.
