Mandela Day is a reminder for us to become human; and you can never be human if you don't care about the next human being, writes Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi.

Our call this year, as we celebrate Mandela Day, is for us to recommit to rebuilding better communities together as a human race so that we can nourish future leaders. How do we give hope to a girl child who needs to be reminded that getting married as a teenager is not the only hope of survival? Every parent needs to internalise the idea that: every child in our community is my child, therefore, I have a responsibility to protect, nurture and guide him/her. We have given away our power to be equal partners in building the future country we want to see. How do we give hope to the boy child in Cape Flats, who needs to learn that gangsterism is not the only way to put food on the table? What is it that we can do to remind them that they too are part of the human family? This year we have families mainly in KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape who are still battling the after-effects of the natural disasters.
