Join in the celebration of Mandela Day, where Deputy Ministers, communities, and activists come together to make a difference #ItsInYourHands

Mandela Day is a poignant occasion in South Africa, with Deputy Ministers Kenny Morolong and Nonceba Mhlauli stepping up to commemorate the day in Nyanga. The theme this year, #ItIsInYourHands, highlights the fight against poverty and injustice. From Pietermaritzburg to global platforms, the spirit of Mandela Day echoes as communities gear up for charitable activities, like the extended 67 minutes at Bisley Nature Reserve. As activists face legal persecution worldwide, the significance of standing up for justice on Mandela Day cannot be overstated.

In a heartwarming gesture, Deputy Ministers spent 67 meaningful minutes at John Pama Primary School, embodying the spirit of giving back. Celebrate Nelson Mandela International Day with inspiring quotes, powerful images, and a call to action. In Cape Town, residents can combine fitness and philanthropy at Mandela Day events, showcasing the unity and compassion that define this special day.

As we honor the legacy of Nelson Mandela, it's crucial to recognize that Mandela Day is a day of action, not just a holiday. It commemorates the life and values of the revered leader, emphasizing the importance of unity and social change. Nelson Mandela's impact transcends borders, inspiring a global movement for peace and justice.
