Countless businesses, and organisations came together and dedicated 67 minutes for community upliftment during Mandela Day.

Small acts of kindness created a buzz of realising how important it is to give back in the spirit of Ubuntu.

Initiatives were seen all over the City of Coal as eMalahleni addressed a multitude of social needs. Food drives saw volunteers preparing and serving food with a warm smile. This was a tapestry of compassion seen where the need is.

For members of the St Joseph Mukasa Catholic Church, every day is Mandela Day. This energised group with the most beautiful singing voices reached out to the community on Mandela Day to show some love.

They can also be seen dishing out soup and bread to the elderly when they sit in queues waiting for their Sassa grants.

Barnard Skhosana, Nhlanhla Hlanze, Siyabonga Mazibuko and Mduduzi Ntombeni from Albany Bread surprised the elderly at Immergroen Old Age Home with warm soup and fresh bread on Mandela Day.

“We ‘bake’ the world a better place,” said Mduduzi Ntombeni from Albany breads.

“Every day should be Mandela Day. We should not set aside 67 minutes once a year to do something good for someone,” Nhlanhla added.

Immergroen Old Age home thanked Albany Bread and The Ridge Casino for the visit and contributions.
