Mandela Day will be marked on Monday, July 18, and The Curry Parlour in The Mews wants to reach out to help orphans and street children who have again been left out in the streets after a fire gutted their orphanage.

In the early hours of Thursday, 14 July 2016, a devastating fire broke out at the Lakehaven Child and Youth Care Centre in Sea Cow Lake, north of Durban.
