Building Future Leaders From The Ground Up
Rising Stars Generation was founded in 2018 by Prince Motlou and formally established in February 2019, driven by one clear mission: keep young people away from destructive risk behaviours and give them real platforms to grow, lead, and thrive.
From One Home To A Growing Movement
What began as weekly youth forums hosted at Prince Motlou’s home grew into a structured community movement as more young people showed up looking for guidance, belonging, and direction.
Why Rising Stars Was Born
Prince Motlou was deeply troubled by the number of young people caught in high-risk behaviours such as drug abuse, negative mindset patterns, bullying, and gangster groups. Instead of watching the cycle continue, he gathered friends, started conversations, and created a safe weekly forum for youth in the community.
Attendance grew over time, and the weekly meetings quickly outgrew Prince’s home. That momentum led him to approach schools around Saulsville for space, and Edward Phathudi Comprehensive School opened its classrooms so the work could continue.
As the organisation grew, the focus became clearer: create structured interventions that could shift behaviour, rebuild discipline, and give young people a real path away from destructive habits. That direction would eventually shape Discipline Camp into the organisation’s central programme.
A Timeline Of Growth
Rising Stars Generation has grown through community trust, formal recognition, and a disciplined intervention model that now centres on one flagship programme: Discipline Camp.
Forums Begin
Prince Motlou starts gathering young people and friends for weekly youth forums at his home to address the real issues affecting the youth in the community.
Formal Establishment
The movement is formally established in February 2019. Schools begin opening space to host growing gatherings, and the organisation is also influenced by Tobacco Free Generation training from Singapore.
NPO Registration
On 12 August 2020, Rising Stars Generation is registered with the Department of Social Development as a Non-Profit Organisation, strengthening its structure and reach.
Discipline, Service, And Impact
The organisation now focuses its energy on practical intervention, mentorship, and visible community impact through Discipline Camp and youth guidance work.
Keeping Young People Focused On Purpose
Rising Stars Generation works with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds through Discipline Camp, mentorship, community service, and practical support such as stationery, groceries, and toiletries.
Discipline That Resets Direction
Discipline Camp is built to interrupt destructive behaviour patterns and replace them with structure, accountability, and healthier habits that can carry into everyday life.
Families Included In The Process
Parents are involved before and after the programme so the change does not stop when camp ends. Rising Stars builds a support system around each young person for stronger follow-through at home.
Leadership Through Structure
The programme develops discipline, communication, leadership, and responsibility through a demanding environment that challenges young people to think differently and act with purpose.
Main Intervention Focus
Rising Stars Generation is especially focused on helping young people overcome behaviours such as disrespect, bad attitude, smoking, bullying, laziness, and other patterns that put their future at risk.
Discipline Camp
In 2022, Rising Stars Generation developed Discipline Camp, a fast-growing programme designed to reshape mindset and install discipline so young people can overcome risky behaviours and build better habits.
A Nationally Growing Intervention
The programme is designed to change the mindset of young people and install discipline so they can overcome risky behaviours such as disrespecting parents, bad attitude, smoking, bullying, and laziness.
Every school holiday break, about 300 kids from different provinces come to camp. It is one of the clearest examples of how Rising Stars Generation is moving from community initiative to a wider national impact.
