Rise against hunger with Carnival City on Mandela Day
This is the fourth year that Sun International has been part of this spirited food packing initiative
Carnival City calls on businesses and citizens to be part of the international food packing challenge with Rise Against Hunger on Mandela Day, July 18.
The food packing drive at Carnival City is one of nine similar events taking place across the country. The goal is to pack three-million meals in one day for children in need to commemorate the late former president’s birthday.
Rise Against Hunger on Mandela Day is organised by Sun International and Rise Against Hunger in partnership with the Minister for Social Development, Susan Shabangu.
“Each year, on July 18, we celebrate the birthday of a true South African icon and everything that he stood for by embracing his values and doing something to help make a change for good in the lives of those less fortunate,“ says Annemie Turk, general manager: Carnival City.
“This is the fourth year that Sun International has been part of this spirited food packing initiative and Carnival City is delighted to play host to this year’s event in Ekurhuleni.
“We call on representatives from caring businesses, government representatives and other like-minded stakeholders to join us for 67 minutes on Mandela Day when we will roll up our sleeves to pack food parcels for the needy.”
