How are you celebrating Mandela Day?

South Africans are getting ready to celebrate the first Mandela Day without the former statesman, with many looking for bigger ways to mark the day.
We at the Northern Natal Courier will also be doing our bit for the 67 minutes initiative, by cleaning up the image of the town, by removing some of the nasty ‘safe’ abortion posters in town.

With the help of some local councillors, staff will be removing posters in Gladstone and Beaconsfield Streets.
The posters have long since been an eyesore in town.

Many attempts have been made by the Courier to highlight the societal ills that the posters bring and to get them removed from our town.
Staff will now be taking matters into our own hands and ‘aborting’ the posters from electricity boxes, walls, street signs and wherever else they may stick.

We’ve also compiled a list of 67 charities that you could contribute to this Mandela Day. So how will you be spending your 67 Minutes for Mandela?
