MANDELA DAY 2013 JULY 18
So what is the big idea behind Mandela Day? It is to make everyday a Mandela Day. It is to be an examplary citizen, who is action orientated and is the change they want to see around them. To stand up and be the leader each community needs. Or find causes in each area that one can volunteer for, helping each community become better. Causes that happen througout the year. Find a passion and make it part of your life. Stand up and be counted as a hero through serving others.

REMEMBERING JUNE 16
Our former President Mbeki stated in I am an African, "The constitution whose adoption we celebrate constitutes an unequivocal statement that we refuse to accept that our Africanness shall be defined by our race, colour, gender or historical origins.
It is a firm assertion made by ourselves that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.
Africa reaffirms that she is continuing her rise from the ashes."
