MLOH began their 67 minutes by cleaning the streets of Jozi CBD on the morning of July 18. From there they went to MLOH house in Rosettenville were they prepared braaied meat for residents and kept them entertained the whole day with activities and performances. Different entertainers were present to keep the residents entertained.
The Imvelo dancing group were the first to capture the audience’s attention with their dancing moves.
As the event kept on unfolding, the elderly paid tribute to Madiba by singing the national anthem for him. Residents were treated to a great meal starting with a cup of soup and later on with a full meal.
