Tomorrow, 18 July 2014 is #MandelaDay. The late Nelson Mandela’s birthday and the day the world honors his life and achievements through volunteering and community service. Mandela dedicated 67 years to fighting for social justice and making the world a better place. The idea of Mandela Day was inspired by Nelson Mandela at his 90th birthday celebrations in 2008 when he said: It is time for new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your hands now. The call is out for people everywhere to celebrate his birthday by acting on the idea that each person has the power to change the world. Everyone can do their part by devoting 67 minutes of their time to a worthy cause in your community – one minute for every year of Mandela’s public service – people can make a small gesture of solidarity with HUMANITY and a step towards a global movement for good. In return for everything Madiba has taught us, we each owe it to him to support his work and legacy by doing and living our own as best we can, not just on this day, but throughout our entire lives. TEAM RADIO RIVERSIDE will visit the Marcus Mbetha Secure Centre and celebrate Nelson Mandela Day with the young ones.
