Lazola Kati is an experienced specialist and practitioner in the field of Social Justice and Human Rights Campaigns. She has over 5 years of project management experience, both at national and global levels. In addition, she is an Anti-Disinformation Resource person, an International Relations and Public Policy Research and Analysis Resource Person.
Lazola holds a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, focusing on political and international relations. She has also earned a postgraduate Diploma in Peace Keeping in Africa and Security Studies. Lazola is currently pursuing a Master's degree, focusing on political stability in Africa. Lazola has made significant contributions in the field of human rights. She has developed comprehensive training curriculums on important topics such as human rights, rights to protest, gender-based violence, and telecommunications. Lazola has also been involved in monitoring and evaluation efforts on multiple national projects, with a specific focus on gender-based violence and women's empowerment. Her most notable work in this area was with Sonke Gender Justice, where she observed clinics in rural areas and evaluated their ability to provide sexual reproductive healthcare for women.
As a researcher, critical thinker, and creative thinker, Lazola has produced impressive work in the final report for the Anti-Disinformation project. This project aimed to eradicate disinformation in South Africa during elections and was a collaborative effort between former Member of Parliament Phumzile Van Damme and Africa Check, among others. Lazola is a skilled political analyst and has developed, managed, and run campaigns, including social media campaigns, specifically focused on social justice work, women's rights, and public policy.
She is also a skilled public speaker and has been a voice for many voiceless communities in the media, particularly on human rights issues, telecommunications, and access to telecommunications. Some of her notable public speaking engagements have centered on conflict in African countries, migration, and women's rights issues. Lazola has also participated in drafting and finalizing policy submissions and policy monitoring for advocacy purposes. Her contributions in this area are especially noteworthy and include work on the Copyrights Amendment Bill, the Film and Publications Amendment Bill (which has since been admitted into law), and opposing RICA laws in South Africa as a form of protest against surveillance.
