VOX POP: Kids share their thoughts on Mandela Month
Young learners tell us what they know about Mandela and our country.
July was Mandela Month and Mandela Day (July 18).
The Advertiser quizzed young learners at Cube Schools about Mandela and our country.
Tristan Switala (8): Nelson Mandela was a great man. He was our president and liked to help others. I also now the lyrics of our national anthem and the colours of our flag.
Nate Fardell (6): I don’t know anything about Nelson Mandela or Mandela Day. I also don’t know what the Rainbow Nation is about.
Zayne Botha (12): Nelson Mandela helped a lot of people and was a good man and I know Mandela Day is about helping others. I don’t know the words of our national anthem. I usually make up my own words when I sing them.
Gabriella Campbell (7): I just know Mandela was good for our country. I also know some of the words of our national anthem and the colours of our flag.
Charlotte Babich (7): I don’t know anything about Nelson Mandela, but I know words to our national anthem because we sing it at school.
