IN TWEETS: How Mandela Day looks like in the province
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” – Nelson Mandela
MBOMBELA – Today former late president Nelson Mandela would be 100 years. The country has once again heeded to the call by spending 67 minutes of charity. Deputy President David Mabuza, Mpumalanga premier Refilwe Mtsweni and Gert Sibande District executive mayor Muzi Chirwa will be at Mkhondo Local Municipality the whole day.
