MUSGRAVE Centre is hosting a Mandela Day exhibit throughout the month of July, marking the 10th anniversary of Nelson Mandela Day which is celebrated all over the world.
The display includes factual information about the “father of our nation,” and is certainly a must-see for all shoppers. The activation backdrop is created out of a wooden structure designed to symbolise the bars of Madiba’s prison cell. The wooden sections represent how tough his life was through his many years in incarceration, and the turf (grass) represents the freedom and building a better South Africa for all that he fought for throughout his life.

On Thursday, 18 July on Mandela Day, Musgrave Centre staff will visit Clayton Primary School with representatives from Pick n Pay to do a handover of snack packs to all 562 learners and will sponsor five learners school fees for 2020. In addition to the handover, there will be lots of fun entertainment for the children.
The centre has a donation box at the centre where shoppers can contribute by donating canned goods, stationery and non-perishables at the exhibit outside the Pick n Pay store.
