This Friday South Africans will unite once again to celebrate Mandela Day, a powerful reminder of the values and legacy of the late Nelson Mandela. While it’s important to remember that Mandela Day is not a public holiday, it is a national call to action.

Mandela Day, celebrated every year, honours the legacy of Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected president of South Africa and a global icon of peace and reconciliation.

The day encourages individuals to dedicate 67 minutes of their time to community service, reflecting the 67 years Mandela spent fighting for social justice.

So, while you’ll still need to show up at work on Friday, you can honour Nelson Mandela by dedicating 67 minutes to community service.

Just don’t expect a lie-in.
