This is huge kudos for King David Sandton because Ginsburg will be overseeing over 80 junior councillors from 40 different schools from the greater Johannesburg. He will lead the five committees in charge of different aspects of helping communities. The Special Projects Committee, being one of them, is involved in creating all new out-of-the-box ideas for the council to implement.
The induction ceremony was held at Holy Rosary Convent on 12 March. It was an exciting moment when Ginsburg’s name was announced. There were loud cheers from his co-councillors who had all voted for him, and the whole hall rose as one to give him a standing ovation.
