Mandela Day

Gauteng’s top matriculant for 2024, Musawenkosi Buthelezi of Zimisele Secondary School in Kwa-Thema, Springs, was invited to the Nelson Mandela Foundation where our Chief Executive, Dr Mbongiseni Buthelezi, congratulated him on his exceptional academic achievements. #Classof2024

This collection of quotes from #NelsonMandela was unveiled on #MandelaDay. It was compiled by @UNinSouthAfrica in cooperation with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and is dedicated to Madiba who inspired generations to fight for a more just, equal, and sustainable world.

#TBT to the official launch of #MandelaDay recently. @GDF_SouthAfrica chief operations officer Talifhani Tshitwamulomoni talks about the foundation’s ongoing partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and its support for Mandela Day this year #Mandela10 #NMF4Earth

This year we are focusing on climate, food and ensuring that there is solidarity with the environment, with each other and with those who are in need particularly when it comes to food insecurity. - @sellohatang at the official launch of #MandelaDay today. #Mandela10

Our aim for #MandelaDay is to plant one million trees and food gardens globally. Partner with us. - @GushwellBrooks  #Mandela10

2023 marks the tenth anniversary of Madiba’s passing. The Nelson Mandela Foundation will use this seminal year to re-ignite the global imagination and impetus behind Madiba’s legacy. - @GushwellBrooks  #MandelaDay #Mandela10

There are three things that will happen through our actions this #MandelaDay: - we will be combating climate change, - we will be beautifying and greening our environments and - we will be providing nutrition - @GushwellBrooks #Mandela10

Climate change impacts food insecurity. What we are doing for #MandelaDay is very simple. As the sun rises on 18 July in New Zealand and crosses over the world for 24 hours we want people to plant trees and home-based gardens. - @GushwellBrooks #MandelaDay #Mandela10

The world is burdened. It is carrying a heavy load. We are reminding everyone that the legacy of Nelson Mandela lives on but it is in our hands to destroy cycles of inequality and poverty. - @sellohatang #MandelaDay #Mandela10

We have a major crisis in terms of food security. It's abnormal for people to go to bed hungry. We must make sure no child is humiliated by poverty. - @sellohatang #MandelaDay #Mandela10

We are moving away from just doing good. Our #MandelaDay efforts must be sustainable. Issues of justice must be rooted in Mandela Day. - @sellohatang at the launch of #MandelaDay in Braamfontein, Johannesburg today.
