"The plans we have for this Mandela Day celebration will not compromise any of the Covid-19 safety rules and regulations,” stated a release from the organisation. 

Seed of Hope is an all year round representation of the Mandela day and this is done through various community development initiatives that are aimed at improving the community of Bhekulwandle.

“This year we are facing the Covid-19 pandemic that has led our country into a national lockdown and prevents us from engaging in Mandela Day celebrations as we normally do. However; we have come up with ways in which you can partner with us in keeping Mandela’s legacy alive. The plans we have for this Mandela Day celebration will not compromise any of the Covid-19 safety rules and regulations,” stated a release from the organisation.
