Various institutions and individuals from diverse backgrounds are expected to contribute their time and resources to charitable causes, uniting under the theme that honours Madiba’s legacy.
The City of Johannesburg is hosting a range of activities across its regions to celebrate International Mandela Day.
In Region A, library staff will cut down unwanted trees, perform repairs, and tidy up the surrounding area. Region B will see the Social Development Department host soup outreach at Westbury TDC, bringing warmth, care, and community spirit to residents and children.
In Region C, at Divine Grace Creche 1408 Agnes Street, Cosmo City, donations of tables, chairs, and mats will be made to support under-resourced crèches across Johannesburg.
Region D will feature a commemorative event at Thokoza Park, Rockville, hosted by Joburg City Parks and Zoo. This event will include wreath laying, ceremonial tree planting, and candle lighting to honour and reflect on the legacy of our national heroes.
