July is Nelson Mandela month and government has urged South Africans to amplify his legacy of reconciliation.
On July 18, the world will celebrate former president Nelson Mandela’s birthday.
In support of this month and as part of its mandate to build pride, patriotism and a spirit of active citizenship, the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Brand South Africa has launched the “Play your part for Madiba” campaign.
The campaign’s aim is to get citizens to have the spirit of Madiba and play their part in the country’s growth and development.
Madiba followed three principles throughout his life; free yourself, free others and serve every day.
The aim of Mandela Day is to ensure that SA continues with his legacy in making the world a better place for all.
Mandela Day is an initiative dedicated to giving back to those less fortunate, the vulnerable and marginalised in our society.
It encourages those who are able to help, to serve those who are unable.
