What will you do for Madiba?

-

NELSON MANDELA Internatio­nal Day was launched in 2009 via a unanimous decision of the UN General Assembly, in recognitio­n of Nelson Mandela’s birthday on July 18.

The day is more than just a celebratio­n of Madiba’s life and legacy. It is a global movement to honour his life’s work and act to change the world for the better.

It was inspired by a call Mandela had made a year earlier, for the next generation to take on the burden of leadership in addressing the world’s social injustices when he said that “it is in your hands now”. ● WeekendArg­uswouldlik­e toknowwhat­you,your community,organisati­on, schoolorbu­sinessispl­anning todoforMan­delaDay201­6– emailusatw­knews@inl.co.za
