When one says South African Icon, the first name that comes to mind is Nelson Mandela. Ask ten people, and you’ll probably get the same answer – well some will say Mabida or Tata Madiba, but our number one South African Icon, is the man who we regard as our father and grandfather- the first president of a democratic South Africa; the man whose prison number 46664 is known around the world.
Nelson Mandela Day
And July 18 is a very special day, not only for South Africans, but for all people who love the fairness and humility and the values that Madiba espouses. July 18 is his Birthday and it has been declared Nelson Mandela Day
“The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. Ultimately it seeks to empower communities everywhere. “Take Action; Inspire Change; Make Every Day a Mandela Day.” This is according to the Mandela Day Website. Check it out and see what activities are planned for the day.
