THEMBA TSABALALA: “Nothing much. My day was normal but people all round were happy about Madiba Day and it made me see that Madiba was loved and appreciated. Next year I also want to do something on Madiba Day.”
COURIER took the Madiba conversation to the streets and asked residents what they were doing on Madiba Day.
ELOFF HEARTEN: “In the morning I went to a prayer devotion and blessed Madiba Day and from then I shared the spirit of Madiba with people around me. I liked how people paid tribute to the father of our nation.”SIBONISO MHLONGO: “My day was not as exciting as other people because I proposed to a girl and she rejected my proposal. That was my 67 minutes not going the way I thought it would but I hope next year will be different.”LUNGILE NGWENYA: “I was working the whole day. I couldn’t get a chance to honor the legend but my work rate improved on the day just to honour Madiba. My colleagues and I sang for Madiba.”CAPTAIN DARREN HUKE: “I helped Afrox by giving away blankets and food parcels to the homeless; it was inspiring to share with the homeless. As one of the seniors of Salvation Army, it was exciting to participate in the 67 minutes.”
